For the last 18 months or so, Saudi Arabia and Iran have been engaging in a process of rapprochement. The two signed a Beijing-brokered roadmap to de-escalation in early 2023. The Kingdom reopened its embassy in #Tehran in autumn 2023. Since then, a series of symbolic steps, including state visits and the opening of consular services, have taken place. Not that you'd know from reading the prestige press in the UK and US. The #FT, #Bloomberg, the #WSJ, the #WaPo and the #NYT hardly report on this story. So, yesterday, Saudi Arabia and Iran conducted joint naval exercises in the Gulf of Oman. Given the situation in the Middle East, this would seem important. Who's reporting on it? Let's look at #Google News.

Saudi-owned TV channel working directly with the Israeli Occupation Forces

According to a report by Kan, the entity's national broadcaster, the Israeli army shares exclusive breaking news with the Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya channel in exchange for "favourable coverage" of the Zionist entity.

During the genocide in Gaza, the collaboration between the Israeli army and Al-Arabiya was particularly evident in the information presented, with captured Israelis referred to as "hostages" rather than "captives" and terms such as "occupation" and "Zionist entity" avoided when describing Israeli forces. It also refrained from calling those killed in Gaza as martyrs.

This language shift, influenced by Israeli military cooperation, is an attempt to shape a more favourable image of the Zionist entity to the Arabic-speaking audience.

#Israeli Jets Bomb Sites in #Yemen (removed the rest of the BS title of NYT).

The strike was in retaliation for a drone attack launched from Yemen a day earlier, which evaded Israel’s defenses and hit a building in Tel Aviv, killing one person.

I guess Yemen is now officially on the list of the countries Israel has bombed to defend it's ongoing genocide.

Who wants to bet #US, #UK #KSA and #UAE will follow?

Let's hope he has meeting with Reisi soon :Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman to visit Tehran!

  • Israel and the US, are deeply disappointed. They were hoping for a regional war.

  • China triggered a détente between Saudi Arabia and Iran, who at the same time also became members of BRICS.

  • Meanwhile, the US can't convince the Saudis to normalize relations with Israel.

I'm really shocked 😂

Guess who the general Arab public blaming for this? The media, Arab channels and Saudi backed satellite TV and sites are full of angry people attacking Iran for taking the world's attention away from Gaza.

The same people who are feeding israel, protecting israel and done nothing to help people in Gaza.

Well screw IRI, but at least they are standing up against the genocidal regime of Israel.

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.

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.

Saudi Arabia's export group, the Gulf Research Center, has just developed, together with a senior French official, an exit plan for the Gaza crisis, several sources said.

The confidential document published by the newspaper Le Monde mentions the exfiltration of the "military and security" leaders of Hamas to #Algeria.

The French newspaper is probably referring to Mohammed Deif, commander of the Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamist movement Hamas, and possibly also Yahya Sinwar, leader of #Hamas in #Gaza.

Supposedly, the choice of #Algiers is due to the good relations it maintains with #Iran and #Qatar and its "security capacity" to control the possible "activities" of these leaders.

#Saudi Sheikh Ibrahim al-Muhamid criticizes the Palestinian resistance groups: What is happening in #Gaza is jihad for the sake of Satan, and it's fitna, not legitimate fighting!

That is the best proof that #KSA and their bastard children, #Taliban. #AlQaeda and #ISIS are friends of #Israel and never fight against them.

Saudi authorities have executed three young men from the Shia-populated Qatif region over charges of involvement in sabotage activities, which critics say are part of a crackdown to silence political dissent.

The Saudi Ministry of Interior alleged in a statement on Monday that the death sentences were carried out against Hassan bin Issa Al Muhanna, Haider bin Hassan Muwais and Muhammad bin Ibrahim Muwais.

The ministry claimed that the Saudi nationals “had joined a foreign-based network in order to carry out acts of terror against the kingdom. They were found guilty of having received training in the use of firearms and making bombs, smuggling men wanted on security charges out of the country, bringing in ammunition and storing them for the purpose of disturbing internal security.”

This is the greatest news of our time!

Saudi delegate together with Omani team will arrive in Sana to discuss the final terms of a
- 1 year ceasefire starting immediately
- Work in cooperation with Omani delegates to set up the transition toward the permanent ceasefire and a peace deal by "Eid-Al-Fitr, the end of holy month of Ramadan later this month.
- Release of all POWs on both sides
- Immediate end of KSA/UAE imposed blockade, backed by the US and UK navies (no words from them to accept this yet).

This is one of the happiest days of my life, a hope for peace and an end to one of the bloodiest war in modern time, with millions of people suffering an artificial famine and health emergency in one of the poorest countries on earth. A country that not many people seems to care about is finally seeing the opening of a path to peace.

BBCs choice of the image for covering the later agreement between Iran and Saudi Arabia says a lot about their long and well tested propaganda behavior!

Every other media (including those in Israel) used the image of the Iran, KSA and China's foreign ministers holding hands or sitting behind a table, but BBC decided to chose the typical "angry Iranian" image on their tweet and web site instead!

More Kosher blood stained energy for Germany: UAE signs energy agreement with Germany's Scholz

It is nice that Germany is not giving money to Putin to kill "civilized Europeans" with. The #UAE and #KSA are killing people not worthy of Europeans empathy or respect.

Black and brown loves don't matter, not in Europe, not in US or anywhere else.

The duo of Israel and KSA are working on setting the whole region on fire.

Without #KSA's and #UAE's help Israel can not bomb #Iran using #F35s. With Iranian fighter jets located on #Hamedan and #Dezful, they will be able to intercept the Israeli fighter jets on their way out of Iran after the first bomb has exploded.

Even with the #stealth technology of F35s, it has to burn a massive amount of fuel to be able to leave Iranian airspace, which means in those minutes after the bombings, they will be highly vulnerable unless they can land/refuel over UAE or KSA's airspace, alternative landing there.

This mean both countries will be on the direct target list of Iran that will not hesitate to retaliate against the 2 countries and set the whole region on fire.

Iran's nuclear program is located on 17 different locations. Israel can not attack all of them, and an attack against the 2 main sites of #Natanz and #Fardow will just make #Khamenei to cancel his #Fatwa against #nuclear #bomb and resign from the #NPT and cut all ties with both the #UN and the #IAEA.

This is an absolute madness and an extremely dangerous and irresponsible act. Something that #Biden seems to have signed off and OKed with during his trip to the 2 countries. US bombing campaign in #Syria the other day, may be the starting step in the coming chain of action co-ordinated between US-Israel-KSA and UAE.

Lets hope they are not that stupid to actually do it.
