US's withdrawal from INF Treaty and nuclear crisis with Russia

Russia cannot replace the United States in the Middle East, US Secretary of Defence James Mattis

Manama: The US Secretary of Defence James Mattis warned Russia that although Russia was trying to increase its influence in the Middle East, it cannot replace the United States in the region. The US Secretary of Defence also stated that the Khashoggi killing is a potential threat to the stability of the Middle East. The United States warning is significant given the increasing Russian interference in the region on the issues of the Syrian conflict and crude oil.

The US Secretary of State warned the Middle Eastern nations that ‘The United States’ commitment to the region is long-term and transparent. The increasing Russian influence can never replace it. Opportunist Russia is helping Syrian President Assad while ignoring his criminal acts. It only goes to prove that Russia does not have any respect for moral values and also lacks integrity.’
