(MENAFN- UkrinForm) According to Ukrinform, this was reported by The Peninsula.

“US Defense Secretary HE Pete Hegseth announced Friday that Qatar will be allowed to build an air force facility at Mountain Home Air Base in Idaho that will house F-15 fighter jets and pilots,” the report said.

The announcement came shortly after President Donald Trump signed an executive order pledging to defend Qatar from attacks following Israeli airstrikes targeting Hamas leaders in Doha.

"We're signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emiri Air Force facility at the Mountain Home Air Base in Idaho," Hegseth stated at the Pentagon in the presence of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of State for Defense Affairs HE Sheikh Saoud bin Abdulrahman bin Hassan bin Ali Al-Thani.
