The United States expanded its military presence under the pretext of fighting terrorism after the tragedy of September 11, 2001. This was announced on September 11 by Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

"The United States took advantage of this international solidarity, the adopted resolution that approved their military operation and the creation of an international coalition, not so much to fight terrorism, but simply to implement its geopolitical plans, expand its presence and influence," the diplomat said on the Foreign Ministry's website.
