The U.S. Army is weighing a large permanent base in the Negev as American Gulf installations prove exposed to Iranian attack
The United States military is examining the possibility of establishing a large forward operating base in Israel, in what would mark a significant strategic realignment of American force posture in the Middle East, according to a report published Sunday by Walla.
The discussions reflect a growing American assessment that its bases across the Gulf are dangerously exposed.
According to security sources cited in the report, the U.S. has notified Israel's Defense Ministry and IDF officials that it intends to renew supply contracts through at least 2030, with the possibility of extending those arrangements further depending on operational considerations.
