#BREAKING: While President #Trump has vetoed congressional measure limiting his war powers in #Iran, #USAF has No longer any assets for deep strike & standoff attack at #Iran in #MiddleEast! All 6 B-52Hs in #DiegoGarcia & 12 F-35As in #AlDhafra,#UAE are redeployed back to #US! 
As a replacement for the F-35As, #USAF is going to deploy 12 F-15Cs which will enhance air defense capability! So, it means, #Pentagon doesn't see a war coming with #IRGC and they are going to have just 12 F-15Cs & 12 F-15Es in #AlDhafra & Muwaffaq Al-Salti Air Bases respectively
It is now public. On order of #US President #Trump, 2 squadrons of #USAF fighter jets as well as 4 Patriot PAC-3 batteries are being evacuated from #SaudiArabia making it vulnerable to #Iran's strikes. This is for putting pressure on Prince #BinSalman to reduce oil production.
