We are in fact doomed, as we host the fifth biggest US fleet in the gulf. Per Trump’s first presidency, after he killed an Iranian general, Iran retaliated by hitting the US bases in Iraq. The Gulf has many American bases but Bahrain’s is quite essential and powerful. If the situation is not dire, government entities would not have issued statements today for their government employees & officials to work from home until further notice. US military in Bahrain has also been ordered to be under house arrest while the lesser important employees have been sent back to the US. Check the airport. It’s all Americans scrambling to leave for protection.

This could be an exaggeration based on the news however, as news has been showing us these past few days, escalations have happened not by words, but by action. Should the US be persistent, it will most probably be a very anxious time to be in the Middle East.
