Egypt's new 'Octagon' defense headquarters, inaugurated on Saturday, has been described as the world's largest military command center, nearly eight times larger than the US Pentagon. The complex, located near Cairo, consists of eight outer octagonal buildings, each representing a branch of the Egyptian armed forces, along with two central structures. The design mirrors the Pentagon's shape but with eight sides instead of five. As The Zioneer reported on Saturday, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi attended the inauguration ceremony in full military uniform. The scale of the facility underscores Egypt's efforts to project military strength and modernize its defense infrastructure.
