UAE could be a staging area for airstrikes and special forces operations against Iran. Yes, we do have an operational Air Base in Bahrain, which is part of the Persian Gulf States that has close ties to UAE.

The big base in the Gulf now is not in Bahrain. It is in the UAE.
Please do not tell me this port deal is a quid pro quo for an overseas airbase/joint command post (the one that replaced the one we pulled out of in Saudia Arabia!)???!!!
Time to level with us, Mr President.
