Some Gulf states hosting US forces may be covertly encouraging the slaughter of Iranians, Iran’s foreign ministerclaimed on Monday in a thinly veiled attack on Saudi Arabia.
Abbas Araghchi demanded clarification on reports that Mohammed bin Salman was in regular private conversations with Donald Trump urging the US president “to continue hitting the Iranians hard”.
Araghchi was responding to the second US media report in a week claiming the Saudi crown prince’s public opposition to the US attacks on Iran did not reflect his private position. “Stances should be promptly clarified,” he said in a post on X.
Iran’s foreign minister said hundreds of civilians had been killed in US-Israeli attacks, including more than 200 children.
What was the motivation for them giving Trump that white-elephant plane? And the $2 billion they laundered through TrumpCoin?
Qatar is the only gulf state that doesn’t seem to be allowing the US to conduct its Israeli war from their land, and while they’re getting daily missiles and drones, pretty much all are being intercepted. Unlike UAE and Bahrain who are being hammered.
They’ve already destroyed the US radar at Al Udaide, so it’s clear Iran is taking it easy on Qatar, who had a decent relationship with Iran before. Qatar will be fine when this is all said and done, UAE may never recover, and Dubai seems to be fucked.
You’ll see Qatar is not named as one of the gulf countries pushing for the war, let alone aiding in the effort.
Whatever their motivation was for the plane, it wasn’t this.
