Technically the "Middle East" is Southwest Asia. The word "Orient" means EAST.

If an Asian country such as Japan was far from England, it was the FAR EAST. The Korean War was fought in the Far East (Far Orient), Eastern Asia; Korean Peninsula. The Vietnam War was fought in the Far East (Far Orient), Southeast Asia.

The Yom-Kipper War, Arabs vs Israel fought in the same areas noted above. Operation Desert Storm (January thru Febuary 1991) was conducted in Southwest Asia (Iraq). Or in the old British term, the "NEAR EAST or ASIA MINOR." Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003 to present) same as above. Afghanistan Operations would be closer to the MIDDLE EAST (Middle Orient).
