however lately egyptian–american relations have become a little tense. this is due to a great extent to the egyptian unwillingness to send troops to afghanistan and iraq in peace stabilization missions. egypt strongly backed the u.s. in its war against international terrorism after the september 11th attacks of 2001 but refused to send troops to afghanistan during the war and after it. egypt also opposed u.s. military intervention of march 2003 in iraq through their membership in the african union and the arab league, continued to oppose u.s. occupation of the country after the war and further refused to comply with u.s. requests to send troops to the country even under a un umbrella.
