@Mrgenzzzz @ShihabMd30295 আপনি আপনার গালাগালি মার্কা টুইটটি রিমুভ না করলে আমরা আপনাকে ব্যান করতে বাধ্য হব। অথবা আপনার যদি ইচ্ছে হয় আমাদের ব্যান করতে পারেন।

Iran is actively striking the US base at Al Dhafra, UAE. The strike commenced at 05:30 local time and continues, with US AD systems successfully intercepting multiple missiles/drones.Given the presence of Bangladeshi expatriate in the area,their safety remains a serious concern.

@Chutzpah_101 They never said it, we / our media said it

@Defres360 They said allowed right?

Steve & his team were likely engaged with an M982 Excalibur a U.S.-manufactured, GPS-guided 155mm extended-range artillery munition. This system delivers high-precision strikes, achieving accuracy within approximately 4 meters at ranges exceeding 40 kilometers.

@Mohsin_o2 HD footage from Bangladeshi guys. Subcontinental folks usually frenemies turn into besties covering Middle East war videos 🤣. Brothers from another mother, suddenly! x.com/i/status/20343…

Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, and Indians are ensuring the world gets HD coverage of the war.

@_A_khalifa And you’re basically on Iran’s missile subscription plan, delivered every other day! 😏

UAE air defense is straight-up elite & super unique! Not random systems it’s a smart layered beast: THAAD + Patriot For ballistic NASAMS For mid-range, Pantsir + SkyKnight + Cheongung (Korean killer) crush drones & close threats. Everything talks to each other perfectly with top radars. Skies locked down tight!

@saudrahman27 So who is your enemy?

Iran has reportedly struck Qatar’s Ras Laffan LNG hub, one of the world’s largest energy export centers. Ras Laffan accounts for roughly 77 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of LNG capacity, contributing nearly 20% of global LNG supply. Any disruption here doesn’t stay regional

@DrKFreeMan The Prime Minister is not corrupt. After the fall of long authoritarian rule, he was democratically elected. With threats from fugitive fascist allies, his security has been tightened.

@Defres360 Is the prime mister a rapist or corrupt? Why afraid for his life?

While most people sit down to a full iftar, members of the Prime Minister’s security units often break their fast with just a date. They remain fully focused on one mission and that is protecting the Prime Minister at all times.

@saudrahman27 When your land is used to strike and kill Iranians, Iran has every right to defend itself. But expecting the thick-headed Arabs to understand that might be asking too much.

The heinous Iranian aggression has crossed every single red line!!

@MofaQatar_EN The solution lies in your own hands. When your land is used to strike and kill Iranians, Iran has every right to defend itself. But expecting the thick-headed Arabs to understand that might be asking too much.

Statement | Qatar Condemns, Denounces Blatant Iranian Attack on Ras Laffan Industrial City Doha | March 18, 2026 The State of Qatar expresses its strong condemnation and denunciation of the blatant Iranian attack targeting Ras Laffan Industrial City, which caused fires resulting in significant damage to the facility. It describes the attack as a dangerous escalation, a flagrant violation of state sovereignty, and a direct threat to its national security and regional stability. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirms that despite Qatar's policy of distancing itself from this war since its outset and its commitment to avoiding any escalation, the Iranian side continues to target it and neighboring countries in an irresponsible approach that undermines regional security and threatens international peace. The ministry stresses that Qatar has repeatedly called for the need to refrain from targeting civilian and energy facilities, including within the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in order to preserve the resources of the region's peoples and safeguard international peace and security. However, the Iranian side continues its escalatory policies that are pushing the region toward the brink and drawing countries not party to this crisis into the conflict zone. The ministry affirms that this attack constitutes a violation of UN Security Council Resolution No. (2817), renewing its call on the Council to assume its responsibilities in maintaining international peace and security and to take the necessary measures to stop these serious violations and deter their perpetrators. The ministry also reiterates that the State of Qatar reserves its right to respond in accordance with Article (51) of the United Nations Charter and the right to self-defense as guaranteed by international law, stressing that it will not hesitate to take all necessary measures to protect its sovereignty, security, and the safety of its citizens and residents. #MOFAQatar
