The United States has a wide range of allies in the Middle East. Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Türkiye (Turkey), and the United Arab Emirates are among the most important, with a wide range of strategic ties between the United States and those countries. Egypt, Bahrain, and Kuwait are also important military allies in the region, and Iraq’s armed forces are often supplemented or trained by U.S. forces. Jordan and Oman also have good relations with the United States and have military bases that host U.S. forces. After the fall of Bashar al-Assad in late 2024, the United States has also cultivated friendly ties with Syria.
