@MarioNawfal Umm, I’ve been in Dubai and we’ve been getting attacked for weeks. Also shipments in the strait have been getting attacked.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 The latest statement from Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian shows how far away both sides are from agreeing a peace deal: "No one has the right to deprive us of our nuclear rights, and what we demand is to be treated on the basis of equity among all peoples. Our fundamental stance is based on preserving peace, stability, and security in the region. We are not seeking to expand the circle of war, nor have we initiated any wars or conflicts. We do not intend to attack any country and we are exercising our legal and legitimate right to self-defense. The enemy failed to achieve its goals, violated international laws, and attacked infrastructure, schools, and hospitals." Source: Al Jazeera

@MarioNawfal Stunning country with so much potential.

🇱🇧Lebanon pulls off something no other country really does. Morning swim in the Mediterranean. One hour in the car. Standing in alpine snow by afternoon. Ancient Phoenician cities, Roman ruins, cedar forests older than most civilizations, and mountain peaks. all packed into a strip of land the size of Connecticut. Most people travel across entire continents chasing that kind of contrast. Lebanese people do it before lunch. Source: PlanetVista 4k

@MarioNawfal Gaslighting 101

🇮🇷 Iranian President Pezeshkian: "We are not seeking unrest. We do not act against international law. You should accept those same international laws. They want to eliminate anything that leads to growth and awareness."

@MarioNawfal The world economy has been along for the ride ever since ships were being shot at in the strait almost two months ago. You seem to forget who actually closed the strait. I’m in Dubai, and it’s impacted us heavily. It’s interesting that you’re complaining about a solution.

🇺🇸 Stephen Miller on the Strait of Hormuz blockade: "The U.S. has the capacity to continue this indefinitely." Big claim… considering the global economy would be along for the ride.

@MarioNawfal I’ve been in Dubai since the war began. Shipments have been halted since day one to Jabal Ali. I’m trying to wrap my head around how you ignore who’s been shutting the strait all these weeks, and yet all of a sudden seem to have an issue with IRGC ports being blocked.

@Rainmaker1973 It’s kinda mean

@MarioNawfal So can ships pass through Hurmoz or not?

🇺🇸🇮🇷 CENTCOM says Iranian ports are basically locked down. 10,000+ troops, warships, aircraft involved, and in the first 24 hours not a single ship got through, 6 were turned back. Applies to everyone, not just Iran. Ships going to other countries can still pass through, as long as they’re not heading to Iranian ports. Source: @CENTCOM

@MarioNawfal This is a misleading post. There’s a long backlog on orders from the US, and Ukraine has years of experience with cheap anti-drone tech. South Korean equipment is cheaper and available now. These are practical needs, not some geopolitical play.

🇸🇦🇶🇦 6 weeks is all it took for Trump's Gulf allies to turn away from the U.S and look to other countries to help restock their defenses against Iran. Saudi, Qatar, and the UAE are turning to South Korean missile-defense systems and Ukrainian interceptor drones. Riyadh and Qatar have also signed defense-cooperation deals with Ukraine. Source: WSJ

@sciencegirl Why didn’t you write where this city is and what it’s called?

A whole city built on a mountain ridge

@MarioNawfal Why does anyone care? She seems to be enjoying herself.

Most embarrassing moment in TV history? Not sure what people are so upset about tbh... x.com/MattWallace888…

@MarioNawfal The US agreed to a fragile ceasefire with a sectarian government currently dominated by decentralized ideologues. I hope the ceasefire lasts and ultimately results in a long lasting peaceful outcome for all people in the region.

BREAKING: A very important Saudi pipeline was struck by a drone attack while the UAE and Kuwait were attacked as well Someone is trying to sabotage the ceasefire Could be factions within Iran or Israel, who fkn knows anymore!

@MarioNawfal @WhiteHouse

@JohnOzOzOzOiOiO @MarioNawfal I doubt it. Their fighters have only been intercepting drones. And UAE has been on the defensive all this time. Could be debris or just an excuse to justify aggressions.

@aidanmarus @MarioNawfal Apparently UAE had sent their bombers into Iran. Hence the retaliation. Lots of fog of war at the moment how things are shaping out.

🚨BREAKING: 🇮🇷 A senior Iranian official says Hormuz could reopen as early as tomorrow or Friday if a ceasefire framework is reached ahead of Pakistan talks. The catch: any reopening would be limited and all vessels would still need to coordinate with the Iranian military. Source: @DeItaone

🚨BREAKING: 🇮🇷🇦🇪 Iran has struck the oil terminal in Fujairah, saying it's retaliation for strikes on the Lavan oil refinery and Siri Island. Fujairah is on the UAE's eastern coast and one of the world's largest oil storage hubs. Something is not adding up! Source: Counter Intelligence Global TG
