The United States is moving a Patriot air and missile defense system from Texas to the Middle East as Washington and Israel prepare for possible renewed strikes against Iran, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.
President Donald Trump has not made a final decision on further military action, although the report said he is considering strikes against Iranian infrastructure and nuclear facilities. A negotiated agreement remains possible.
Iran has warned that renewed attacks could trigger retaliation against energy infrastructure, airports and other civilian facilities across the Persian Gulf. US intelligence concerns about Iranian threats against American officials and citizens have added to regional tensions.
The timing and scope of any potential campaign remain uncertain, according to the report.
