US needs to move bases from Gulf to Israel, former Centcom commander says

Retired General Frank McKenzie, former head of US Central Command, argues that US bases in the Gulf should be relocated to Israel and neighboring countries to better protect against Iranian threats. He criticized the current basing system as an 'artefact' of Cold War strategy, noting that Iran's attacks on Gulf bases during the war exposed vulnerabilities. McKenzie stated the Biden administration rejected his proposal to shift bases westward.
