Marco Rubio said it best:
Every problem in the region
goes back to Iranian Regime
Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis
Assad , they’re all !!
No stability in the Middle East
until we cut off the head of the snake!
“El Aeropuerto de Maiquetía tiene afectaciones que deben ser evaluadas por expertos. Los vuelos han sido desviados y hay aerolíneas informando que sus vuelos van a ser trasladados al aeropuerto de Valencia” me informa Vicky Herrera, presidenta de Asociación de Agencias de Viajes y Turismo, en #ShirleyRadio.
SECRETARY RUBIO: "You can't have the end of hostilities and conflicts in the region as long as Iranian proxies are launching missiles and drones from Iraq, and are participating in terrorism like Hamas did and Hezbollah did."
"The United States will be hitting Iran (Whose Navy, Air Force, Radar, Anti Aircraft, and all other forms of Defense, together with most of its offensive capability, are GONE!), VERY HARD TONIGHT..." - President Donald J. Trump
BREAKING: Trump says 'not open' to offering concessions to Iran in interview with US newspaper the New York Post

Trump’s military options against Iran just leaked! 🔥
A leaked New York Times document reveals the Pentagon’s plans presented to Trump:
1️⃣ Ground raid on Isfahan — Elite US forces seize the nuclear site and secure highly enriched uranium.
2️⃣ Massive airstrikes — Devastating attacks on Revolutionary Guard bases and missile sites.
3️⃣ Naval & economic blockade — Take control of Kharg Island and reopen the Strait of Hormuz by force.
All options are now sitting on Trump’s desk.
I have every confidence that President Trump fully understands the situation with Iran and will not continue to tolerate a refusal to negotiate in good faith along with Iran’s defiant aggression in the Strait of Hormuz and throughout the region.
It is abundantly clear to me that Iran has been very weakened militarily and economically. But at the same time, they have become more emboldened and aggressive.
A short but forceful response now would reset the conflict in all the right ways.
When it comes to Iran, it is imperative that we negotiate from a position of strength and dominance. We must finish what we started. I fear continuing negotiations without a forceful response prolongs the conflict, gives our allies doubt and will further embolden the Iranian terrorist regime.
The ceasefire isn’t “breaking down"
It’s doing exactly what zero-sum conflicts do:
revealing the next phase of war
What happens in the next 72 hours won’t be random.
It will follow a pattern
Here’s the framework almost no one is using
يستأنف أبناؤنا وبناتنا الطلبة اليوم الدراسة الحضورية في كافة جامعاتنا ومدارسنا.. بعد أن أثبتت منظومتنا التعليمية قدرتها الاستثنائية على استمراريتها الكاملة في ظل الظروف التي مرّت بها المنطقة.
رسالتي إلى الطلبة والطالبات : نحن دولة لا تقف عند التحديات.. نحن دولة لا تقف عن التعلم والتعليم .. نحن دولة لا تقف مسيرتها ولا تتعطل تنميتها ..
نحن دولة تراهن عليكم وتصنع مستقبلها بكم ومعكم ومن أجلكم .

The Early Warning System is a vital preventive tool designed to promptly alert the public and strengthen national preparedness in times of emergency.
For your safety, always rely on official instructions and adhere to the guidance issued by relevant authorities.
You really learn a lot about the capabilities and will of your allies in difficult times like these. To those who suggest that confronting the Iranian regime and denying them a nuclear weapon which they were on the verge of acquiring is not their conflict - you’ve missed a lot since 1979.
In the nick of time, through Operation Midnight Hammer, President Trump stopped Iran from having enough weapons grade uranium to make at least 10 nuclear bombs. Iran was weeks away from achieving this, not years away.
Like many of our Arab allies, the UAE’s star shines brightly in several ways. The UAE understands why the U.S. is fighting to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, even though America gets only 1% of its oil through the straits. Their willingness to entertain the idea of being involved in an international coalition to protect the Strait is much appreciated. The brunt of the Iranian attack during this war has been on the UAE because they host American military bases and thousands of U.S. military personnel, providing nothing but the best treatment to our people.
When it comes time to making sure that those in the crosshairs of Iran have what they need to defend themselves, I believe the UAE should be at the top of the list.
Give the UAE what they need to defend their skies and our military personnel.

These unprovoked attacks, which have persisted for more than two weeks, have been met with strong international condemnation through United Nations Security Council Resolution 2817, co-sponsored by 136 UN Member States. The resolution demands that Iran immediately and unconditionally cease these attacks against the Gulf states and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and affirms that it is fully liable for all damages and losses incurred by the affected countries.”
