According to the Arab News Agency, the United States had increased military installations to protect oil fields in Saudi Arabia following the tense situation following the death of Iranian General Qasim Soleimani, which is now being dismantled. The Patriot is removing anti-missile systems and other military installations from the mainland.
According to Arab media reports, US officials said that four batteries of Patriot missiles, which protect installations from surface-to-air missiles and fighter jets, would be removed from the oil fields to protect Saudi oil fields, while those deployed on batteries would be removed. Dozens of troops will also be evacuated.
According to Arab media, the removal of the Patriot system is underway and has never been reported before. According to Arab media, two squadrons of US fighter jets have already left the region and now US officials are considering reducing the number of US naval forces from the Gulf. On the grounds that there is no immediate threat to US strategic interests from Iran.
Arab media say there has been no reaction from Saudi Arabia. US officials say the death of Qasim Soleimani in January, and with it the current situation in Corona, has weakened Iran and reduced Tehran's capabilities in the region.
