The Arab States and the US-Israeli War on Iran

The war therefore creates an opportunity for the Gulf Arab states to reconsider their overwhelming security dependence on the United States

Iran has placed the IRGC, police and armed forces on the highest level of alert.

Looks like something might be kicking off.

Notably, Rezaei said Iran remains committed to its late leader's fatwa against nukes and has not changed its nuclear doctrine, but "we do not know what will happen in the future." He said Tehran has "not yet" decided to withdraw from NPT, but this depends on US behavior.

Q: At what point does Congress step in and address the Iran war?

MIKE JOHNSON: It's not a war. They're trying to resolve an operation -- Operation Epic Fury, which was an epic success. I don't think we need liberal Marxist Democrats telling the commander in chief what to do w/the military right now
