BAGRAM AIR BASE, Afghanistan, I checked google earth, its just north of Kabul


NE Afghanistan. Proly not a player. Quatar is just west of the Straights of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf, perfect for land based aircraft to operate in the Guld region.

Anyway from the base its about 500-600 miles west to the Iranian border, Iran is about 1200 miles across (IIRC) & Frankly the US has its hands full in Afghanistan, with very limited assets there, it maybe able to play a minor supportive role, but I doubt it.
