I remember reading somewhere a few weeks ago that we have a tremendous amount of military hardware back over there now.

A lot of aircraft and naval forces that left the region have been brought back and are mobilzed in surrounding countries. Don't forget we have a new base in Uzbekistan also to stage air assaults.

Iran has significantly increased naval activity too. They are getting ready to blockade the Strait of Hormuz. A tremendous amount of shipping goes through there.
