The USA and Qatar have opened a joint air defense command center at the largest base in the region.

The USA and Qatar have opened a new Joint Air Defense Command Post at Al-Udeid base. This event marks an important step in strengthening military cooperation between the two countries.

A New Level of Cooperation

The opening ceremony was led by Admiral Brad Cooper and Lieutenant General Jassim Al-Mannai. Their presence underscores the significance of this event for both sides.

Admiral Cooper noted that military relations with Qatar have reached a new level. The new command post will become a key element in ensuring the security of the region.

The decision to establish the post was made after the shelling of the Al-Udeid base in June. These events were a response to US strikes on Iranian targets, which increased the need to strengthen defense cooperation.

Guarantees and Diplomacy

President Donald Trump previously signed an order guaranteeing the protection of Qatar. This agreement became the first of its kind between the USA and an Arab state.

The Role of Qatar in the Region

Qatar actively acts as a mediator in resolving the conflict between Israel and Hamas. This underscores its significance in regional politics.

Qatar’s Foreign Ministry representative, Majed Al-Ansari, expressed confidence in the partnership with the USA, noting a shared belief in the security of the region.

These steps indicate a strategic approach by the USA and Qatar to strengthen stability in the Middle East. The interaction between the two countries continues to develop, creating new opportunities for cooperation.
