Pentagon backs permanent US military base in Poland as Iran talks continue
The Pentagon has recommended approving a permanent US military base in Poland, while Washington continues diplomatic talks regarding Iran.
The Pentagon has recommended approving a permanent US military base in Poland, leaving the final decision to President Donald Trump, who is expected to announce his choice in early December. Polish Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz confirmed the positive assessment alongside progress on Warsaw's request to purchase American Tomahawk missiles.
Concurrently, diplomatic efforts concerning Iran continue in Washington. Following discussions with Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani, Trump stated that renewed military strikes against Tehran remain "extremely unlikely" while negotiations over nuclear issues and the Strait of Hormuz proceed, though no formal peace agreement has been reached. Meanwhile, global energy markets stabilized, with Brent crude trading near $98 per barrel.
