Joe Biden's insistence on maintaining a US military presence in West Asia

The White House announced on Tuesday that US President Joe Biden has written a letter to the country's Congress informing it that US forces will continue to remain in the West Asian region (Middle East) for fear of Iran's response to the provocations of the Zionist regime.

Speaking about Tehran's missile response to Israel's attacks, President Joe Biden said in the letter that the United States has changed the country's military structure in the region with the aim of strengthening the defense of the American forces and the illegal regime of Israel.

President Joe Biden's insistence on the continued military presence of the United States in the West Asian region is being fulfilled under the pretext of protecting what is claimed to be protecting Washington's interests in this sensitive region, which includes the Persian Gulf as a geographically strategic area. It seems that one of the important goals that the United States has set for itself in the region is to defend and protect Israel as its main strategic partner.

After World War II, the Israeli regime has received the largest amount of foreign aid from the United States. A report by the US Congressional Research Center shows that the White House has given the administration 300 billion dollars since 1948 until the beginning of the year 2023, an amount of money that has not even been allocated for its own states. The point to be considered here is that supporting the tyrannical regime of Israel is a law that must be followed by all American governments, and which those governments are obliged to implement in order to make the regime always win and be ahead of all the countries in the military region.

Following the war in Gaza, President Biden's government has sent many military tools of all kinds to Israel, weapons that continue to be used by the administration to carry out genocide against Palestinians where it has so far killed more than 42,000 Palestinians and injured about a hundred thousand others. In addition to the annual aid of 3.8 billion dollars to the brutal Israeli regime, Washington has also approved a 14 billion dollar aid fund for the oppressive regime that commits all kinds of brutal crimes against the Palestinians and Lebanon. According to a new study, the United States has provided $19.9 billion in military aid to Israel since the start of the Gaza war. This report, written before the start of Israel's second attack against the Hizbullah movement in Lebanon, is one of the first reports of the estimated costs of the United States to support Israel in its attacks in Gaza and Lebanon.

After the opening of a new Israeli battlefield in Lebanon and Iran's missile response in Operation True Promise-2 in response to the regime's violation of Iran's authority and the regime's terrorism, especially the killing of Ismail Haniyeh, General of the Political Office of Hamas in Tehran, Sayyid Hassan Nasrullah, Secretary General of Hizbullah of Lebanon and Shahid General Abbas Nilfuroushan, the chief adviser of Iran's military affairs in Lebanon, currently President Biden's government is supposedly trying to strengthen the power of the administration by to keep its soldiers in the area and send Israel a new THAAD air defense system thinking that this will be able to guarantee the hostile regime its security. However, the experience of Iran's True Promise-2 operation has proven that the air defense systems of the Zionist regime, especially Arrow, which is similar to THAAD, is not capable of dealing with Iran's modern ballistic missiles, especially the hypersonic one. "Fattah" where according to the available evidence they have given the terrorist regime heavy military blows.

Another issue that President Joe Biden has used as an excuse to continue strengthening the US military presence in West Asia is the issue of protecting its citizens and assets against the attacks of the Islamic Republic of Iran and groups linked to it. The question is, what are the interests that the United States has identified in the region, which basically violates international law? A clear example of this is the invasion and illegal presence of its forces in several regions of Syria, which began under the pretext of fighting Daesh terrorists during the administration of Barack Obama and continued in the administration of Donald Trump and now in the administration of Joe Biden. In addition, the strengthening of the US military presence in the region over the past year has been done with the aim of protecting Israel and giving it the pride to continue its aggression and crimes against humanity, including genocide against the people of the Gaza Strip and Lebanon and even continuing to increase attacks against Syria and finally starting to threaten to attack the Islamic Republic of Iran.
