Tajikistan Military Aid, Operation Flashpoint, Hydrocarbon Complex
President Obama requested increased military financing for Tajikistan as U.S. Transportation Command officials visited the country. This military interest coincides with Iranian plans to build an industrial city in Tajikistan. The video game "Operation Flashpoint: Red River" is cited as a tool for familiarizing the American public with military intervention in Tajikistan under the guise of fighting terrorism.
