Wakiilka Mareykanka ee NATO: Dib-u-eegista ciidamada Yurub waxay ku xiran tahay 'Mareykanka hore'
Wakiilka Mareykanka ee NATO, Matthew Whitaker, wuxuu sheegay in dib-u-eegista ciidamada Mareykanka ee ku sugan Yurub ay ku socoto, kadib khilaafkii ka dhashay in dalal ka mid ah NATO ay diideen in ciidamada Mareykanka ay isticmaalaan dhulka milatari ee ay leeyihiin mashaariicda Iran.
Sababta dib-u-eegista iyo qaabka ay u socoto
Wasiirka Difaaca Mareykanka, Pete Hegseth, wuxuu ku dhawaaqay dib-u-eegista ciidamada (force posture review) munaasabad ay ku yeesheen wasiirrada difaaca NATO ee magaalada Brussels, kadib markii dowlado Yurub ah ay xadidayeen ama diideen in Mareykanku isticmaalo dhulka iyo fariisimaha milatari ee ay leeyihiin.
Wakiilka Whitaker wuxuu sheegay in dib-u-eegista ay ka hadlayso meelaha ciidamada Mareykanka ku sugan yihiin, iyo inay helaan fariisimaha iyo dhulka milatari ee saaxiibadooda. Wuxuu intaas ku daray in tallaabadu ay ku xiran tahay qaabka 'Mareykanka hore' (America First) ee maamulka Trump, kaas oo tilmaamay in la eego faa'iidooyinka Mareykanka iyo dadkiisa iyo lacagaha dadweynaha.
Dalalka Yurub ee ka soo horjeestay ama xadiday
Dalalka Spain, Italy, Faransiis iyo UK waxay si toos ah uga soo horjeesteen ama xadidayeen in Mareykanku isticmaalo dhulka milatari ee ay leeyihiin mashaariicda Iran. Spain waxay qaadday xadiddada ugu adag, iyadoo diiday in ciidamada Mareykanku isticmaalaan dhulka iyo fariisimaha milatari ee ay leeyihiin.
Italy waxay xadidayso isticmaalka, halka Faransiisku uu ogolaaday in diyaaradaha iyo taageerada shaqada la isticmaalo, balse diiday in diyaaradaha dagaalka ay ka raacaan dhulkiisa. UK-na waxay markii hore ogolaatay in ciidamada Mareykanku isticmaalaan meelaha Royal Air Force ee ay leeyihiin, kadibna waxay sii daynayso inay ka qayb qaataan dagaalka Iran.
Wararka la xiriira tirada ciidamada iyo NATO 3.0
Wararka la xiriira dib-u-eegista waxay sheegeen in ilaa 40,000 ciidan laga soo saari karo dhulka NATO, balse Whitaker wuxuu sheegay in wararkaas ay yihiin kuwo aan saxnaayn, isagoo sheegay in qorshaha dib-u-eegista aan la dhameystirin. Wuxuu intaas ku daray in qof walba uu isku dayayo inuu dadka ku qasbo inay ka warqabaan qorshayaasha aan la dhameystirin.
Su'aal la xiriiray oo la soo saaray ayaa lagu weydiiyay dowladaha NATO inay ka jawaabaan mashaariicda Iran, isla markaana ay ka hadlaan NATO 3.0, kaas oo ah qorshe ay Mareykanku taageerayaan oo ku saabsan in saaxiibadooda Yurub ay qaadaan mas'uuliyadda difaaca Yurub.
US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker confirmed that Washington is conducting a comprehensive review of its force posture across European territory, a process triggered by access disputes with several allies during the US-Israel conflict with Iran known as Operation Epic Fury.
Origins of the Force Posture Review
The review was formally announced by US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth at a NATO defence ministers meeting in Brussels this June, following a series of disagreements over military access during the Iran operation. Hegseth described the decisions of countries that declined to participate as 'shameful' and warned that such refusals placed American troops at risk.
Spain adopted the firmest stance by denying US access to its airspace and military bases entirely, while Italy imposed restrictions and France limited fighter jet refuelling from its installations. The UK initially permitted use of Royal Air Force sites for defensive purposes before later expanding access to support strikes on Iranian targets.
Scope and 'America First' Framework
Whitaker explained that the review examines where US forces are stationed and the extent of Washington's access to allied airspace and military infrastructure, guided by the Trump administration's 'America First' approach. He stated that the policy means evaluating what is in the interest of the United States and its taxpayers.
Some leaked reports suggested up to 40,000 troops could be withdrawn from NATO territory, but Whitaker dismissed these figures as incorrect, noting that the plan has not even been finalised by the Secretary of War's policy shop and that such leaks are attempts to confuse the public.
NATO 3.0 and Future Alliance Relations
A leaked questionnaire circulated among NATO members during the summer asked governments to detail their responses to the Iran conflict, including whether they granted access to their airspace and military bases during the initial phase of the operation. The questionnaire also probed members' positions on 'NATO 3.0', a US-backed shift placing central responsibility for Europe's conventional defence on European allies.
Whitaker told Euronews that the US will have to 're-evaluate' its relations with allies that deny American troops access to bases or airspace in future operations. He emphasised that Washington is continuing conversations with countries that restricted access to ensure such issues do not recur.
