U.S. officials tell the Wall Street Journal that Iran is positioning missile launchers for a potential attack on American forces in the Middle East, in retaliation for the recent U.S. strikes on three nuclear sites.

If Al Udeid airbase in Qatar is the target that Iran has chosen, it seems that they are signalling an intent to deescalate with the US. Al Udeid was very publicly emptied over the last week or so. On June 5 there were approx 40 aircraft at the base, this morning, there is 1
