�We face a thinking enemy that is playing a real regional conflict for keeps, and they�re very good,� Gen. John Walker, the commander of the 378th Air Expeditionary Wing at the base, said of Iran. A series of attacks in the region last year have been blamed on Iran, including simultaneous missile and drone strikes on two major Saudi oil installations in September. US defense officials say they have shored up air defenses since the attack that temporarily halted 5 percent of global oil supplies, the Journal reported.
