Leak reveals ‘touchy’ issues for UAE’s presidency of UN climate summit

Russia once again proved it's not friend of anyone but Russia.

The populist and desperate foreign minister of Russia signed a joint statement calling Persian Gulf for Arabian Gulf and the ownership of the 3 disputed islands to #UAE instead of #Iran.

This should be a wake up call foe those who think in case of a military conflict between Iran and US, #Russia will come to the help of Iran.

Delusional people who think the empty words of Russian ambassador in #Tehran "guarantee" that Russian stance is firmly in favor of Iran, is nothing but hot air to please the stupid #mullahs of Iran.

Just a historical document to remind those countries south of #PersianGulf that the name was there centuries before their countries were created by the #British colonial power.

Name of Persian Gulf in the passport of Sheikh Zayed, the founder of UAE in 1951.

Saudi Minister: There will be a direct railway connection between Tehran, Riyadh, Mecca and Medina

This is the first time I have read this and wondering if the old dream of making a tunnel under the straight of Hormoz (about 8-10km long) and a bridge connecting Bandar Abbas to Hormoz Island? Is a mega billion dollars project, but if it is planned correctly, can create huge benefits for all the countries in the region and cut the carbon footprint of those countries.

Using a dual line high speed train route would create an easy access for countries in Arabian peninsula and west Asia and even Russia and China..

I for one would love to see this project become reality because it will be a bridge/tunnel of peace between the nations and helps tourism and commerce in the countries on both sides of the Oman sea and Persian Gulf.

“[ #China] welcomes the formation of a joint maritime alliance with the presence of #Iran, #SaudiArabia, the #UAE, and others,” said Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin on Monday.

#US #Navy spokesman Tim Hawkins said the agreement is "illogical and defies reason."

Iran, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Oman are planning to create a united navy to safeguard the transportation of goods and oil through the strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf.

According to Qatari internet web site Aljadid, the intiative was suggested by the Chinese government and diplomats from the 4 nations have already started the negotiations.

This is a biggest news since the normalization of the diplomatic ties between Iran and the countries south of Persian Gulf and a giant step to remove the US and UK navies from the strategic region.

ایران، عربستان، امارات و عمان نیروی دریاییِ مشترک تشکیل می‌دهند

🔻پایگاه اینترنتی خبری الجدید قطر نوشته: رایزنی‌های این کشورها با هماهنگیِ چین و با هدف تضمین امنیتِ دریانوردی در خلیج فارس آغاز شده است.

In major strategic move, UAE says it has withdrawn from USA led Persian Gulf maritime coalition.

☆ The announcement has come amid tensions between #UAE and #US about UAE's growing military ties with #China.

☆ US has constantly been "warning" the Emirati government of Chinese military presence in UAE that could 'hinder ties' between US & UAE.

☆ President #Biden invited UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed a year ago, but Bin Zayed has still not visited US due to the political tensions between the two countries.

☆ Instead, UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed chose to visit #Russia in October last year.

☆ The visit was considered a move by UAE to seek new allies in the region & get itself out of the American 'camp'.

UAE says it has stopped taking part in U.S.-led Gulf maritime coalition

The United Arab Emirates said on Wednesday it was no longer taking part in operations by a U.S.-led task force protecting Gulf shipping, which has been subjected to renewed tanker seizures by Iranian naval forces in recent weeks.

Oh dear, the news was correct: Emirates haa cancelled it's naval cooperation with United States in the Persian Gulf

This happened shortly after what I shared earlier today.

Amazing that this has been unknown for almost 2 months.

#UAE #US #PersianGulf #BreakingNews #Navy

#Major (unconfirmed) #Breaking #News : Abu Dhabi, one of the Emirates in #UAE haa removed their military cooperation with United States Navy!

The news haa been shared on multiple channels in Farsi and Arabic and Faris but so far I have not been able to find anything in English, French or other European languages.

The News comes as a shock, but maybe related to the disagreement and "shock" revealed in this article just a few weeks ago.

Mohammed Bin Zayed shocked after US billed UAE for military assistance, says report
UAE says it found incident, which happened in 2022 after a drone attack, deeply offensive

I will see if can find more details and verified sources about the news.

#Sudan : The #UAE hired #Wagner in #Libya and now they are moving them to support #Hemeti via their other mercenary #Khalifa Haftar in Sudan.

🔴 Haftar who was born in #Egypt and is an American citizen is linked to #Sisi and Egypt because of his role in Eastern Libya as warlord. Burhan is using Egyptian pilots and is linked to Sisi.

🔴 Sudan like Libya, #CAR, #DRC etc is a fractured state many blame on colonial engineering. But the new order wants these African powerhouses to be fractous. Getting their moneysworth with small mercenary, proxy or military interference.

@RYP__: The UAE hired Wagner in Libya and now they are moving them to support Hemeti via their other mercenary Khalifa Haftar in Sudan. Go get some popcorn. theafricareport.com/306184/egypts-… The tricky part. Haftar...…

The Sudanese Air Force is continuing to conduct #Airstrikes against the Positions of the Rapid Support Force (RSF) that are in or near Khartoum International Airport in the Sudanese Capital; these Airstrikes come as it was said the U.S/Coalition Evacuation Operation was going to begin soon and that it would be utilizing this Airport.

It was assumed that the evacuation of employees of the diplomatic missions of the United States , Great Britain , #France and China from Sudan would pass through the #Khartoum airport. However, the United States embassy said that it was unsafe to conduct a coordinated evacuation at the moment due to the ongoing fighting and the active work of air defense and aviation.

The evacuation of citizens and embassies of $Jordan , #Libya , #Saudi
Arabia and the #UAE passes through Port Sudan , which is already beginning to receive warships from other countries. According to the Saudi Foreign Ministry, more than 150 people have already been successfully evacuated, including citizens of Saudi Arabia, #Kuwait, #Qatar, UAE, #Egypt, #Tunisia, #Pakistan, #India, #Bulgaria, #Bangladesh, the #Philippines, #Canada and #BurkinaFaso.

The Chinese state calls the Saudi embassy to discuss the possibility of saving Chinese citizens in Sudan through Saudi army ships.

Within weeks #China has brokered a #peace deal between #Iran and #SaudiArabia, paved for an end to the war on #Yemen, led Saudi Arabia, #Turkey, the #UAE and #Syria to reestablish ties with each other.

I will be really pissed if they don't give Nobel peace prize to Chinese foreign minister.

Mohammad Al-Bahiti, a member of the political bureau of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, said in an interview on Saturday morning that the #UAE has begun withdrawing troops from #Yemen.

This is happening! Just unbelievable.

Such a beautiful thing to witness.

Israel's move toward full fascism!

On his social medias, the Advisor to The Far-Right/Kahanist Israeli Interior Minister Ben Gvir, Mr. Yishai Fleisher, made an interesting statement over the ongoing judicial reform in Israel

According to him, the Judicial Reform pushed by the Rightist Coalition in Israel is nothing more, but "the erosion of the old State structures" in favor a process that will eventually lead to a "freedom-protecting and God-fearing Davidic Monarchy"

In other words, what he means is that the Judicial Reform is nothing more than the beginning of a transition from the Secular Israeli State, made in 1948 by Ben Gurion, to an Apocalyptic Restoration of Israel's "Ancien Regime", the Monarchy from biblical times, that according to him would be like United Arab Emirates (UAE) Monarchy

Interesting to note that Mr. Fleisher implies that such a monarchy would be led by "Mashiach"/"Moshiach", the Jewish Messiah that Jews around the world have been waiting for centuries to lead the Eretz Yisrael during the end of the world, and that many Christian and Muslim branches consider to be the "Anti -Christ"/"Al-Masih ad-Dajjal"

In another shocking development, Basir Assad, dictator of Syria arrived in Abu Dhabi to meet with the dictators of United Arab Emirate.

The arch enemies of yesterday, seems to be shaking hands and the leaders of those countries receive military escort on arrival, the red carpet and warm welcome into the new "Arab brotherhood".

It seems like the Chinese position in negotiating peace between Iran and Saudi Arabia had some side effects as well, including the acceptance of Syria into the Arab league, group they were kicked out of over a decades ago.

Despite the nauseating image of these monsters meeting each other, it may have positive impact on the war thorn region facing the growing danger of ISIS and the radical fraction of AlQaeda (the old AlQaeda, just like the Taliban seems to be more friendly with the west and tolerant toward their former enemies).

Will this last? Can this finally end the 20 years of bloodbath ignited by the American war on terror and the criminal invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan as well as daily bombings of countries in west Asia and north Africa by US and it's NATO "peace loving" aggressors.

Will the 2023 be the year of peace in the region? i for one am too afraid of feeling hopeful, but I honestly hope my fear s are wrong and we see a slow end of the "New World Order" that Bush and his criminal neo-con gang created.

Haaretz: Israeli ex-PM Naftali Bennett called the resumption of ties between Iran and Saudi Arabia a "grave and dangerous development for Israel and a significant diplomatic victory for Iran"

One interesting note is the fact Shamkhani, who was in the hiding for a long time took the center role in the negotiations and was with the team that traveled to China for the signing the deal.

#Iran and #SaudiArabia have agreed to re-establish diplomatic relations within two months, Iranian state media reported on Friday.

Following talks in #Beijing, the foreign ministers of the two countries are set to meet again in the near future, and the countries will re-open their embassies, the report said.

Ali Shamkhani, the secretary of the Iran's Supreme National Security Council, thanked China for mediating between the parties. The Saudi Foreign Ministry has confirmed the deal in a joint statement with Iran and China.

It is also interesting that the #Biden (the man who is not #Trump) role in the process and his push to counter this agreement with melding between the fascist coalition government of #Netanyahu and the KSA.

In a Wall Street Journal report published Thursday, sources said that the Biden administration is heavily involved in back-channel talks between the two states. Both U.S. President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are seeking to reach a deal with the Saudis as an apparent counter to Iran as it ratchets up its own nuclear program, and continues providing military aid to the Russians during its war with #Ukraine.

When Netanyahu won Israel's November election, he began to publicly push for formal ties with Saudi Arabia, in an effort to build upon the success of the so-called Abraham Accords that were brokered two years ago under his previous government with the United Arab Emirates and #Bahrain.
