As of July 27, 2026, there is no verifiable evidence from official US government sources, Moroccan government statements, or reputable news outlets confirming plans to establish US military bases in Morocco. The claim appears to be unsubstantiated.
US-Morocco military cooperation includes joint exercises, such as the annual African Lion drills, and security assistance programs. However, no official announcements regarding permanent US bases have been made.
Morocco hosts a US military presence at Naval Support Activity (NSA) Souda Bay in Crete, Greece, and has allowed US access to Moroccan airfields for transit and refueling, but this does not constitute a base. The US Africa Command (AFRICOM) has not disclosed any plans for new bases in North Africa.
Readers should treat such claims with caution and rely on official channels for accurate information.
