Here are five indicators of military preparation to watch for. These show whether the U.S. military believes it is going to war because they are based on the kind of preparations the United States has made before previous conflicts in the region. (Note: It’s always possible that the Iranians would launch a surprise attack for which the U.S. was not prepared so conflict could arise even without these indicators).

Increased activity at the U.S. air bases in Qatar and Diego Garcia

Reinforced security at U.S. bases in the Middle East.

Iranian complaints about reconnaissance overflights.

Evacuation of U.S. civilians and military dependents from Bahrain.

Increased U.S. naval activity

So far, despite all the sharp rhetoric, there have been no reports that any of these indicators actually occurring, so Americans can probably relax. However, these indicators are worth keeping an eye on if tensions should escalate, particularly as they begin to bite, and Iran faces internal instability.
