As yet another war rages in the Middle East, we take a closer look at the United States’ military presence across the region. It’s a presence that stretches back decades, but took on heightened visibility during the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s, when both those nations began targeting oil tankers and merchant shipping vessels in the Arabian Gulf.
