I count four segments CDG-MCT-AMM-DOH-CDG
Ah, you're right on segments, not sure how I counted 5 earlier.

Under the Visa Waiver Program Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevention Act of 2015, travelers in the following categories must obtain a visa prior to traveling to the United States as they are no longer eligible to travel under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP):- Nationals of VWP countries who have traveled to or been present in Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, or Yemen on or after March 1, 2011 (with limited exceptions for travel for diplomatic or military purposes in the service of a VWP country).
- Nationals of VWP countries who have traveled to or been present in Cuba on or after January 12, 2021 (with limited exceptions for travel for diplomatic or military purposes in the service of a VWP country).
- Nationals of VWP countries who are also nationals of Cuba, Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, or Syria. [/QUOTE]
Ok, what I saw then was just rescinding the ban on citizens of those countries then it seems, I thought it was an executive order to remove the entire thing. Agree, that would be a major PITA to deal with getting the visa.
Cuba though should not be a problem since they don't stamp for that exact reason, but maybe best to avoid flying there from a Five Eyes country.
