Ali is right to question if America can afford to allow Iran & the Houthis to dominate two maritime choke points. But if the Houthis refrain from closing the strait and focus on Saudi instead, they’re likely to getaway with it. Houthi overreach is the best Saudi can hope for. 10.2K views · 39 likes · 11 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

@FirasMaksad UAE wouldn’t have suffered the attacks had Israel, which also dragged in the US, not attacked Iran. So Israel suddenly becomes Abu Dhabi’s hero? How dumb. These two were lovers since ever since they started a secret relationship in 2003. 288 views · 4 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

@FirasMaksad Israel defended an Arab country by launching an attack in its neighbour which it knew would blowback on its Arab ally. Some friend. The Emirates are too stupid to even recognise that fact. 792 views · 7 likes · 0 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

• The GCC is over as a political entity, polarized with #UAE on one end of the spectrum, #Oman on the other. • For the first time ever, #Israel defended an Arab country, while despite much promise, #Egypt’s vaunted Air Force remained absent. • This, and the aftermath of the htt
