DOHA – On Tuesday evening, as the world was watching the ‘deciding’ match of the 2022 World Cup in Doha between Iran and the United States, the Biden administration approved …
the sale of sophisticated anti-drone systems as part of a deal worth $1 billion to the tournament’s host country, namely Qatar. The U.S. Defense Department announced this, explaining that the deal is also expected to include 200 interceptors.
The sale, the Pentagon further added, “will support U.S. foreign policy and national security objectives by helping to improve the security of a friendly country that continues to be an important force for political stability and economic progress in the region.” Certainly, the sale will make Raytheon Technologies, SRC and Northrop Grumman war industries, which are doing billion-dollar business in tandem with escalating tensions in the Persian Gulf area and throughout the West Asian region, richer.
