Ports in the Middle East now ‘out of bounds’ for US sailors amid record deployment

News24 US analyst Michael Ware claims ports in the Middle East which were once considered safe and accessible are now deemed “out of bounds” due to the threat from Iran. “The ports in the region ... are now out of bounds because of Iran’s ability to launch drones or missiles,” he told News24. “We’re talking about ports in Bahrain, in Kuwait, in the United Arab Emirates.” This comes amid reports from the families of US Navy members aboard that there is low morale amid record deployment at sea.
