Inside Saudi Arabia’s Secret U.S. Base: Signs of Military Buildup for Possible Iran Conflict
Satellite images reveal rapid expansion of “L.S.A Jenkins” base in the desert, raising concerns of a looming confrontation with Iran.
Watan-Deep in the Saudi desert, far from media scrutiny and official statements, a secret American military base is rapidly growing—an ominous sign of preparations for a potential military confrontation with Iran.
The base, known as the Logistics Support Area Jenkins (L.S.A Jenkins), has transformed since early 2022 from barren land into a fully operational military hub. It now includes ammunition depots, naval missile platforms, and expanding infrastructure. Satellite images reveal over a square mile of new installations, indicating wide-scale ground readiness.
While official declarations remain absent, military movements suggest a strategic shift in U.S. force deployment in the Gulf. Older American bases in Qatar and Kuwait lie within the range of Iran’s short-range missiles. However, “Jenkins” is strategically located to enable a rapid response while reducing the risk of surprise attacks.
The recent emergence of additional military structures near Taif and Jeddah has sparked new questions:
Is the U.S. preparing for an open conflict—or constructing a staging ground for a postponed war?
So far, there are no official answers. But while Washington stays silent, activity on the ground speaks volumes—and the silence may not last much longer.
