Tehran is preparing to target U.S. military installations across the Middle East if Washington joins Israel’s military campaign against Iran, according to a report from the New York Times citing informed sources.
The Islamic Republic has reportedly readied a stockpile of missiles and other military hardware, with initial plans focusing on U.S. bases in Iraq. The report adds that Iran is prepared to launch strikes on American positions in other Arab nations as well.
Additionally, Tehran may begin mining the Strait of Hormuz — a key maritime chokepoint — in an attempt to trap U.S. naval forces operating in the Persian Gulf.
U.S. officials noted that Iran would require minimal lead time to initiate an attack on American bases. In response, U.S. forces throughout the region have been placed on high alert. Currently, more than 40,000 American troops are stationed across the Middle East.
In a related development, the U.S. has pulled forces from two additional bases in Syria. According to reports, the Al-Wazir and Tel Baydar installations are now being secured by small units of the Syrian Democratic Forces.
