CENTCOM hosted a security meeting in Bahrain attended by representatives from 12 countries.

Wall Street Journal reports that this spring more than 100 U.S. aircraft planned to launch from regional bases and ships for an operation to secure passage through the Strait of Hormuz were curtailed after Saudi Arabia denied use of its bases and airspace. U.S. officials say the Saudi refusal forced Washington to suspend the freedom-of-action plan President Trump had just initiated; the White House threatened to halt delivery of interceptors used to counter Iranian missiles and drones. Saudi eventually relented, but U.S. officials said the setback was hard to repair and Washington is now weighing a reduction of its military presence in Saudi Arabia.
