The United States has announced an agreement allowing Qatar to build an air force facility at Mountain Home Air Base in Idaho, which will house Qatari F-15 fighter jets and pilots. The move, unveiled by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth alongside Qatari Defense Minister Sheikh Saoud bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani, is intended to strengthen military cooperation and joint training between the two countries. The announcement follows recent diplomatic developments, including US support for Qatar after Israeli air strikes in Doha and Qatar's role in mediating a truce between Israel and Hamas. The decision has sparked debate on social media, with some critics expressing concerns about foreign military presence on US soil, though officials emphasized that the facility will remain under US control.
