—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇱/🇮🇷 BREAKING: President Trump has met with Prime Minister Netanyahu

Reporter: 'Will you allow Israel to strike Iran if it continues its ballistic missile program and nuclear program?'

President Trump: 'If they continue with ballistic missiles? Yes. Nuclear? Fast.'

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇱 President Trump: 'We have zero disagreements with Israel, in fact I don't think we've ever had any real disagreements'

@Middle_East_Spectator

I don't think Israel will strike Iran when they're so openly talking about it in the media. That would make no sense, operationally.

An attack will come when the media narrative says the opposite; when everyone thinks there has been de-escalation, there will be escalation. Just like last time.

@Middle_East_Spectator

—❗️🇸🇦/🇦🇪/🇾🇪 Saudi Foreign Ministry:

'The steps taken by the United Arab Emirates are inconsistent with the foundations on which the coalition to support the legitimate government in Yemen was based.

The UAE must respond to Yemen's request for the withdrawal of Emirati military forces from the Republic of Yemen within 24 hours.

We hope that the UAE will take the expected steps to preserve the bilateral relations between Riyadh and Abu Dhabi.'

@Middle_East_Spectator

Never expected I would see a shit-throwing contest between Saudi and the UAE.

The Middle East is a strange place.
