Following the announcement of a complete withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, the United States began to reduce the number of its troops and air defense units in the Middle East. According to the Times of India, the Wall Street Journal had revealed in a report that the United States was withdrawing its military and air defense units from the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, which has now been confirmed by the Pentagon.
According to the report, US President Joe Biden is trying to reduce tensions with Iran and reducing the number of US troops and military equipment in the Middle East is a link in the same chain. The Wall Street Journal reports that the United States is withdrawing its military and anti-missile batteries from Iraq, Kuwait, Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
In addition, the US anti-missile system (THAAD) installed in Saudi Arabia is being withdrawn from there. Confirming the news, Pentagon spokeswoman Commander Jessica McNulty said, "Some of these units are from other countries. I am being delivered and some are being brought back to the United States for maintenance. "
The United States is said to now consider China to be the biggest threat in the Asia-Pacific region, so it is now withdrawing troops and military equipment from Afghanistan and the Middle East to other countries from where it can reach Iran and Afghanistan. Instead, focus on China.
