The Pentagon’s device encircling Iran not only includes the expansion of the Bahrain military base in order to station its F-22 bombers [1], but also a mesh of X-Band radars, enabling it to monitor the Iranian air space.
The radar observation bases are located as follows:
– Mont Keren (Negev desert), Israël
– Kurecik, Turkey
– Non-identified base in Qatar
– Al Dhafra, United Arab Emirates
– Camp Arifjan, Koweït
These bases are permanent and lasting constructions are in progress.
