The US military has moved several aircraft and ships from bases in the Middle East that could be hit in a possible Iranian attack - which might come in response to the US joining Israeli strikes in operation "Like a Lion." Reuters news agency reported this citing two official sources, who did not specify the number of assets transferred. However, one of them said that ships were moved from Bahrain, where the US Fifth Fleet is based, while aircraft "that were not in protected shelters" were relocated from Qatar. "This is not an uncommon practice, force protection is our top priority," the source said.
