Afghan Media House: the US has regained control of Bagram Air Base – the base is located in north of Kabul, in the eastern part of the country. According to the Afghan Khaama Press, this step was taken at the request of the Taliban government. According to the agency, several C-17 Globemaster military transport aircraft landed in Bagram last week, which are loaded with military equipment and high-ranking intelligence officials, including CIA Deputy Director Michael Ellis.
Although neither the US nor the Taliban have officially confirmed the return of the military, flight monitoring systems recorded several American C-17s landing at Bagram base last week.
According to some sources, Afghanistan, and in particular the Bagram base, still retains strategic importance for the US, particularly in respect of the geopolitical contexts of Iranian and Chinese militaries. An official announcement about the restoration of the control over Bagram may be made as early as this week.
