US Air Force maintain its presence in the Middle East after the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. This was announced by Lieutenant General Gregory Guillot in an interview with the AP.
Guillot believes it is important for the United States to maintain its position in the Middle East due to competition with China and Russia. In addition, US-Iranian relations now remain strained, so it makes no sense for Washington to leave the region.
Qatar is home to El Udeid Air Force Base, which belongs to the US Air Force. They used it for operations in Afghanistan, Iran and Syria.
