$TRUMP
đșđžđźđ· US troops are being pulled back from bases in Jordan, Qatar and Kuwait and embassies across the Middle East are cutting staff... the same drawdown the Pentagon ran the week before the war started in February
Four sources told NBC the moves mirror the pre-war playbook: leave air defenses and security, get everyone else out of missile range.
The options on Trump's desk include Pickaxe Mountain's tunnel entrances, Qeshm island in the strait, and Kharg Island, where almost all of Iran's oil leaves the country.
Hegseth is privately pushing to go; other advisers are asking what the end looks like.
Trump promised on Oct. 8 that nothing happens before Nov. 3, and one official says "before or after" is now on the table.
Kharg is the target that ends the regime's economy or spikes Brent past $130, and the troops being moved tonight are the ones who'd absorb the answer.
