How the call settles
US military bases in Gulf states remain in place; no agreement to withdraw them is reached
Our reasoning
YES on the research record because No US base withdrawal from Gulf states was agreed. The June 17, 2026 MOU commits only to lowering US force levels back to pre-war levels 30 days after a final deal; in the interim the US went the other way, deploying a third carrier strike group and about 10,000 additional troops in April 2026 — the largest regional buildup since 2003.. Applied stored rule: US military bases in Gulf states remain in place; no agreement to withdraw them is reached.
Outcome evidence
No US base withdrawal from Gulf states was agreed. The June 17, 2026 MOU commits only to lowering US force levels back to pre-war levels 30 days after a final deal; in the interim the US went the other way, deploying a third carrier strike group and about 10,000 additional troops in April 2026 — the largest regional buildup since 2003.
