#US, #UAE, and #Egypt to work together on the #Rafah operation

According to The Wall Street Journal, an evacuation programme for Rafah will be carried out in cooperation between the US, Egypt, and the UAE.

ISN'T THIS JUST LOVELY?

all the Red lines, "unacceptable action", "threat of war" and all other BS were for the show and give Israel more time to plan and advance their plans.

#GenocideJoe really showing how much power he has over #Netanyahu and his genocidal regime.

There are some chatters on IRGC close telegram channels that Monday was the day israel was almost ready to attackbiran.

They called it off in the last minute.

Therey believe that Israel will tryi to attack Iran from multiple ventries one being Azerbaijan and the other is Abu Dhabi.

Both of those will result in a regional war because IRGC will not hesitate to retaliate against any of the countries openly supporting Israeli attacks against Iran.

Let's hope that we don't see this happen.

The Israel-UAE land corridor depends on naval traffic sailing through the Persian Gulf

Israel has been using this route, which runs from the UAE through Saudi Arabia and Jordan to Israel, as a way to circumvent the Red Sea blockade in its trade with the Asian continent.

If Iran systematically cuts off Israeli-linked shipping originating in Emirati ports, Israel will effectively be shut off from any trade with Asia and would have to import everything through its Mediterranean Sea ports of Haifa & Ashdod.

If Iran or Hezbollah then decides to strike these two ports, Israel will be completely cut off from the global trade network. This would have massive repercussions on its economy, which is heavily dependent on foreign trade.

There are reports of Israel installing or n done system in Abu Dhabi in UAE, the reports come with Safelite images that I have to verify. The telegram channel is not very reliable and I hope this is yet another populist move by these admins to generate traffic to them.

I will not share the image because it has the watermark of the group and I do not want to give any credibility or generate traffic for them.

If that is true, it will create a violent reaction again UAE from Iran with catastrophic consequences for the region and the world economy.

Powerful explosions reported in Krayot area (near Haifa), northern Israel.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has asked China's foreign minister and other counterparts to use their influence to dissuade Iran from striking Israel, the State Department said Thursday.

Iran Foreign Minister rejects any attempts at mediation, says that countries 'should have condemned the Israeli aggression when they had the chance', and that a punishment is definitely necessary

The United States said on Thursday it had restricted its employees in Israel and their family members from personal travel outside the greater Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Be'er Sheva areas amid Iran's threats to retaliate against its regional adversary"

➡️ The Iranian state news agency IRNA wrote on Wednesday that “the time is ripe to punish Israel”. It claimed a final decision on how to respond to Israel had been made, adding a failure to respond would undermine Iran’s “deterrence.”

➡️ The Tasnim news agency, which is close to the Revolutionary Guards, also wrote that Iran’s “punishment” for Israel was inevitable and would be “heavy”.

➡️ But it said how and when Iran would act was confidential and that reports suggesting that Tehran would respond over the next few days or was planning a missile and drone strike were only speculation.

➡️ Iran’s foreign minister Hossein Amirabdollahian held phone conversations with foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Iraq, United Arab Emirates and Qatar on Wednesday night, with the ministry saying the consequences of Israel’s attack on the Iranian consulate were among the topics discussed. He also spoke to his Turkish counterpart on Thursday.

➡️ Israeli security analysts have said an Iranian attack could range from a strike via one of Iran’s proxies, such as Hizbollah, to a direct attack on Israel from Iran itself, which could risk an escalation of the regional conflict.

Abu Ali Al-Askari, spokesman of the Iraqi #Kataeb #Hezbollah brigade:

'We in the Islamic Resistance of Iraq are ready to equip 12.000 Islamic Resistance fighters in #Jordan with light and medium weapons, anti-tank launchers, missiles, millions of bullets, and tons of explosives, in order to cut off the land routes leading to #Israel.'

Jordan is already at the edge of an explosion because of their support of Israeli Genocide and helping KSA & UAE to provide 100s of truck loads of food and Asian imports to bypass Yemeni blockade.

The recent Israeli attack against Iranian consulate in Damascus will give an excuse for the Iraqi resistance to stepup their involvement in the conflict with devastating effects for Jordan.

Looks like this is a great work-around for Israel's refusal to renew visas for relief workers.

Bombing Muslims for Peace

A few quotes:

(...) Right now, of course, the world is witnessing yet another U.S. bombing campaign, the latest in a series that seems all too predictable (and futile), meant to teach the restless rebels of Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and possibly even Iran a lesson when it comes to messing with the United States of America. (...)

Israel is systematically destroying Gaza, rendering it essentially uninhabitable for those Palestinians who survive the ongoing rampage. In fact, early in its war of annihilation, Israeli leaders cited the Allied destruction of the German city of Dresden in 1945 in support of their own atrocious air and ground campaign against the Palestinians.

Looking at this dispassionately as a military historian, the Dresden reference makes a certain twisted sense. In World War II, the Americans and their British allies in their “combined bomber offensive” destroyed German cities indiscriminately, seeing all Germans as essentially Nazis, complicit in the crimes of their government, and so legitimate targets. Something similar is true of the right-wing Israeli government today. It sees all Palestinians as essentially members of Hamas and thus complicit in last year’s brutal October 7th attacks on Israel, making them legitimate targets of war, Israeli- (and American-) style. Just like the United States, Israel claims to be “defending democracy” whatever it does. Little wonder, then, that Washington has been so willing to send bombs and bullets to its protégé as it seeks “peace” through massive firepower and genocidal destruction. (...)

Putting [the issue of genocide] aside, it’s undeniable that Israel has been using indiscriminate bombing attacks and a devastating invasion in a near-total war against Palestinians living on that 25-mile-long strip of land, an approach that calls to mind the harrowing catchphrase “Exterminate all the brutes!” from Joseph Conrad’s novel Heart of Darkness. (...)

Try to imagine such events from the perspective of a historian writing in the year 2200. Might that future scribe not refer to repeated U.S. invasions of, incursions into, and bombing campaigns across the Middle East as a bloody crusade, launched under the (false) banner of democracy with righteous vengeance, if not godly purpose, in mind? Might that historian not suggest that such a “crusade” was ultimately more about power and profit, domination and control than (as advertised) “freedom”? And might that historian not be impressed (if not depressed) by the remarkable way the U.S. brought seemingly unending chaos and death to the region over such a broad span of time?

Consider these facts. More than 22 years after the 9/11 attacks, the U.S. still has at least 30,000 troops scattered across the Middle East. At least one Navy carrier strike group, and often two, dominate the regional waters, while striking numbers of military bases (“Little Americas”) are still sprinkled across countries ranging from Kuwait to Bahrain, from Qatar to the United Arab Emirates and beyond. So many years later, about 900 U.S. troops still illegally occupy part of Syria (not coincidentally, where that country produces most of its oil) and 2,500 more remain in Iraq, even though the government there would like them to depart.

#Oman is the only country in the region that has closed its airspace to American and British planes bombing Yemen

Currently, Oman has closed its airspace to aircraft from the countries of the anti-Houthi coalition, which also includes the #UnitedStates, #Britain, #Australia, the #Netherlands and a number of other countries.

What is interesting is that Oman has long-standing military-political relations with Britain and the United States, but nevertheless did not support the operation, unlike Bahrain, which made its military bases and airfields available to the troops of the anti-Houthi coalition .

#Canada #Geemany
PS. Disgusting #Qatar, #Bahrain, #UAE and #SaudiArabia have all supporting the atrocities against #Yemen.

Outrageous but true : Israeli official: The transportation project, launched without publicity amid U.S.-brokered Saudi-Israel normalization talks, has picked up steam due to Ansarullah attacks in the Red Sea.

A land corridor for the delivery of cargo from the Persian Gulf States to Israel through Saudi Arabia and Jordan and back is up and running, with operations increasing during the Israel-Hamas war as alternate sea routes have come under attack.

They not only doing nothing to help Palestinians, they now helping Israel to bypass Yemeni de-facto blockade.

This account supposedly by a woman living in UAE is the source of so much missinformation and lies on TikTok and Instagram.

Many of her posts are now deleted by they go viral on social media and people don't seem to care to question how a citizen of UAE dictatorship can getaway with posting so many anti Israeli posts while people end up in black sites for much less.

Her most viral post has been about the number of Israeli casualties being over 2100 and over 11000 injured. TikTok is full of posts with screen shot of her tweet that is now deleted.

IDF supporters also use her posts to discredit Palestinians and claim that everything they post is fake and made up.

One field, Adnoc #LNG, flared gas on more than 99% of the days monitored by satellite from 2018 to 2022, according to data produced for the Guardian by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (Crea). One expert said this was not routine flaring “by any normal definition”.

The analysis assessed flaring in 32 oil and gas fields in the UAE, 20 of which are run by Adnoc. It shows four fields flared on at least 97% of the days for which data was available, which was most days as measurements were interrupted by cloud cover on only one day in five."
