Bagram Airbase - Islamic World News

This article explores the U.S. military and security doctrine in West Asia, focusing on the strategic significance of bases like Bagram in Afghanistan. The United States aims to reduce its large-scale military presence and instead rely on air power and special operations forces to achieve its objectives, particularly near the borders of Iran, Russia, and China. Afghanistan, with the Bagram Air Base, offers a key position for rapid and sustained access to these frontier zones. The analysis also examines close U.S.–Israeli cooperation and the “flat terrain” strategy, which emphasizes air dominance and the elimination of defensive obstacles in the region. Ultimately, these strategies are designed to secure military superiority in West Asia and influence global economic and political corridors.
