US, Qatar open Middle East's first joint air defense post

 The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on Monday that it opened the first bilateral Combined Command Post for air defense in the Middle East with Qatar.

The post, located within the Al Udeid Air Base southwest of Doha, was opened earlier in the day by CENTCOM Commander, Admiral Brad Cooper, and Qatari Chief of Staff, Lieutenant-General Jassim al-Mannai. "The new Combined Command Post for air defense will enhance regional security cooperation today and in months and years to come," Cooper commented, as shared by CENTCOM on X.

The announcement came a few months after US President Donald Trump visited Qatar and the American troops at the Al Udeid Air Base. In June, Iran attacked the base in response to the US airstrikes on its nuclear facilities.
