Relocate or Move On from the Middle East || Peter Zeihan
Summary
Peter Zeihan discusses the threat of Iranian "memory drones" to US military facilities in the Middle East, noting that current defenses like Patriot missiles cannot match the volume of attacks. He argues that relocating bases to Jordan or Israel is ineffective because Iranian drone ranges are rapidly expanding to cover the entire region. Consequently, Zeihan predicts a broad-scale American withdrawal from the area until a viable interceptor solution is developed.
