And so does US Central Command, which is headquartered there. I hear US Central Command has control of some aircraft of their own. Some are even based on nearby aircraft carriers.

But I suppose it would be a good reason for Bloomberg to described it a 'quasi-naval blockade'. It turns out that the $110 billion Saudi arms deal is actually 'fake news' Bruce Riedel, a senior fellow and director of the Brookings Intelligence Project, writes that everyone with whom he has spoken in the defense industry and on Capitol Hill says that the supposed $110 billion deal is actually "a bunch of letters of interest or intent, but not contracts." In fact, a lot of these proposals, which the Pentagon calls "intended sales," are just arms that defense contractors speculate that the Saudis might want at some point. Many were even proposed during the Obama era. For example, the Pentagon proposed to sell the Saudis four frigates for $11.25 billion in 2015, but since then, no contracts have been signed. Same thing with the THAAD systems. The Saudis have wanted missile defense systems for awhile, and Obama even approved such a sale in 2015, but nothing has been signed. Riedel suggests that the Saudis probably can't even afford such a huge deal at this point, since they are struggling with low oil prices and trying to pay for the war in Yemen.

Russian hackers are believed to have breached Qatar's state news agency in order to plant a fabricated news story that may have influenced the diplomatic crisis in the Middle East, CNN reported on Tuesday. US authorities said Russia's goal may have been to sow discord between the US and its allies in the region. On May 23, the Qatar News Agency published a story that they alleged was falsely attributed to the country's emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani. The story quoted him questioning the fate of Donald Trump's presidency and the US' hostility toward Iran, Qatar's ally and adversary to other nations in the Gulf, such as Saudi Arabia. The story in question quoted the emir as saying "There is no wisdom in harboring hostility towards Iran." Qatar said that report and the quote attributed to the emir were false.
