The U.S. must equip & empower its regional partners & allies to confront Iran, use its diplomatic & economic levers to put pressure on the Iranian regime, &—if necessary—develop & maintain capabilities to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities.

China sees Oman as a strategic node for its maritime belt and road because the country links the Arabian Gulf to the Indian Ocean and acts as a bypass point for China to avoid the critical chokepoint of the Strait of Hormuz. https://t.co/VwHfxCPKVz https://t.co/0PsXKRkfpa

NEW REPORT: To prevent surrender of the Arabian Gulf to China, the U.S. must articulate to allies of the region why it’s dangerous to work with China, & provide alternative investments & technologies that align with development priorities of these allies. https://t.co/lqSrjkNZoH

The stakes are high for the United States. Decades of influence in the MENA region allowed the United States to project power globally, but now China is making inroads in the region at a rapid rate. This should set off alarm bells in Washington. https://t.co/rlmIATn50a

Jordan has previously downed drones from Syria carrying narcotics but has rarely identified seized drugs as crystal meth https://t.co/UcwXL5YNwd

By promoting trade and investment, diversifying its economy, and encouraging investment-driven entrepreneurship and innovation, Jordan can create a more sustainable and prosperous future for its people.

Jeddah Port authorities seize 12.7 million #captagon pills and arrested 2 Egyptians, 2 Yemenis, & 1 Syrian.

Some major de ja vu from April 2021 when Zakat customs seized pills hidden in pomegranate skins--it's like smugglers are playing with us.

Margaret Thatcher passed away on this day ten years ago.

She was a warrior for freedom and liberty, a truly great leader of courage and conviction.

The Iron Lady is hugely missed by the free world.

A very big day in countering the #captagon trade in the Mediterranean-Gulf zone:

The US & UK have imposed coordinated sanctions on Syrian and Lebanese individuals implicated in captagon, having relied on the trade to undercut the effects of sanctions.

Officials say Chinese-made cranes at U.S. ports, including at several ports used by the military, could pose a security risk https://t.co/9Z7sO8YoIp

[Joel Rayburn @joel_rayburn]

The world should absorb the fact that:
- Assad can never win. He will never regain his strength.
- Syria will never be stable under his rule.
- The Syrian people will never stop opposing him.
Time to implement policies recognizing this. Anything else is unrealistic.
