The United States Department of Defense has made history by appointing a Muslim US Airman to lead its Iron Dome–style missile defense initiative, known as the Golden Dome Project.
According to defense sources, the officer has been designated as Director of Staff, where he will oversee strategy, policy, and coordination with defense agencies, research institutions, and industry partners.
The appointment is being seen as a significant step, not only for America’s national security but also for diversity and representation within its armed forces.
Officials say the Golden Dome Project is designed to strengthen US defenses against evolving missile and rocket threats, marking a major advancement in modern warfare preparedness.
