US grants $320 million in military aid to Africa's top army

Original: Africa’s most powerful military gets $320 million in US military aid after ‘helpful role’ in Iran war

Egypt, widely regarded as Africa's most powerful military, is set to receive $320 million in US military aid. Washington credited Cairo's 'helpful role' during the recent conflict involving Iran, suggesting the assistance is a reward for its conduct in the war. The move is drawing attention to US-Egypt defence ties and American strategy in the region.

Why now: News that US military aid was explicitly linked to Egypt's role in the Iran conflict is new and geopolitically significant.
