@FabrizioRomano Easy to talk now, but Xavi rebuilt that squad during one of the toughest periods in Barca’s history.

@MarioNawfal Iran throws a big ceremony for the women’s team returning from Australia? Cute PR stunt while they hang teenage wrestlers for protesting. Regime’s good at photo ops, bad at human rights.
English
🇮🇷 Iran’s women’s national team returned from Australia and were welcomed with an official ceremony in Tehran.
A rare non-conflict moment making headlines.
Nice change of pace for once.

🇺🇸🇦🇪 Despite pressure, the UAE reaffirmed a $1.4T investment in the U.S. and plans to buy more air defense systems. Gulf ties with Washington don’t seem to be going anywhere.
English
@MarioNawfal 3. $23.5 billion arms bonanza to the Gulf right as Iran hits refineries? These monarchs are buying insurance against the mullahs while funding our economy. Win-win except for the libs crying “escalation.”
English
🚨🇺🇸 🇮🇷 The U.S. just flooded the Gulf with $23.5 billion in weapons in a single day.
The State Department approved $16.5 billion in military sales to the UAE, Kuwait, and Jordan.
Then another $7 billion in unannounced deals to the UAE alone, including $5.6 billion in Patriot missiles and Chinook helicopters.
The UAE is getting everything: AMRAAM air-to-air missiles, F-16 upgrades, THAAD-integrated radar, anti-drone systems, and now Patriots.
Kuwait gets missile defense radar.
Jordan gets aircraft repairs and parts.
The unannounced deals didn't require public disclosure because they expanded existing contracts.
Convenient timing when Congress is already fighting over arms sales to the region.
Three weeks ago these countries were absorbing Iranian missiles while calling Washington asking for help.

🇮🇷🇸🇪 Iran has executed Kourosh Keyvani, a Swedish citizen and anti-regime dissident. This adds to growing criticism over Tehran’s treatment of dual nationals and political opponents. Another message sent… loud and unmistakable. Rest in Peace. Source: @visegrad24

@MarioNawfal Executing a teenage wrestling champ for protesting? Iran’s regime is terrified of anyone who represents excellence. This isn’t justice—it’s a warning to every young Iranian dreaming big. Sickening.
English
🇮🇷 Iran publicly hanged 19-year-old champion wrestler Saleh Mohammadi after torturing him into a confession.
His crime: protesting.
Athletes represent everything a society should aspire to.
Executing them is the regime sending a bleak message.

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 The Iran war is already shaping 2028 Vance hasn't decided whether to run in 2028, telling close associates his fourth child coming this summer and family life take priority. But the people around him are already gaming out how this war defines the next Republican primary. If the conflict drags on for months, whoever seeks the GOP nomination will have to answer for it. Vance built his political identity on opposing forever wars. Now he's the vice president of an administration running one. Every week Operation Epic Fury continues, the distance between his brand and his record grows wider. Source: WaPo

@MarioNawfal PM gassing up Barron like that? Smart flatter the kid, get the dad to sign whatever. Japan knows how to play the long game. Trump fam running the show.
English
🇺🇸🇯🇵 Japan's PM just complimented Barron Trump calling him a "very tall, good-looking gentleman."
By the time she leaves, Trump will be giving Japan whatever they want😂
Mario Nawfal@MarioNawfal
🇺🇸🇯🇵 Japan's PM just called Trump her "best buddy". She criticized his war, warned about the economy, and still left with a new bestie. That's the most Japanese thing ever. Politely disagree then hug it out.

@MarioNawfal USS Boxer ARG deploying early to join Tripoli group. 4,400 Marines on top of the first wave. This is Trump saying “we own the Strait now.” China feels the squeeze already.
English
🚨🇺🇸 A second Marine amphibious group is now heading to the Middle East.
The USS Boxer, USS Comstock, and USS Portland carrying the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit just departed the west coast.
That's 4,400+ Marines on two amphibious groups converging on the Gulf simultaneously.

preparing options to defeat a US invasion” sounds hilarious on paper—like a mosquito planning to take down an elephant—but it’s real contingency planning born from Trump’s threats. Wackiest timeline for sure. What do you think—bluff or actual risk? 🇩🇰 vs 🇺🇸 would break the internet. 🚀

Denmark preparing military options to defeat a US invasion is the wackiest thing I've heard all week.

🇩🇰🇺🇸Denmark reportedly flew blood bags and explosives to Greenland in January, preparing to blow up runways and treat wounded soldiers in case the US invaded. French, German, Norwegian, and Swedish troops deployed alongside Danish forces. "We have not been in such a situation since April 1940." That's when the Nazis invaded... Source: The Guardian

@MarioNawfal Trump wants permanent leverage over China via Hormuz. Spot on. Why open it once when you can keep boots there forever and dictate global energy? Weakness is over.
English
🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 THE BATTLE FOR THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ
Alex Christoforou analyzes Trump’s obsession with controlling the world's most critical energy artery.
The goal isn't just to open the Strait, but to hold it as long-term leverage over global competitors like China.
With both sides so far apart, the risk of a "forever war" in the Middle East is growing.

The ultimate goal appears to be the total collapse of the Iranian regime. @AXChristoforou

@jacksonhinklle Oil tanker pays Iran $2M for “safe passage”? Straight-up extortion by terrorists while Biden/Obama crew let them get this strong. Weak leadership = piracy 2.0.

@MarioNawfal Huge crowds, major delays at DIA after power outage. This is what happens when you let woke policies run the country—can’t even keep lights on at the busiest airports. Embarrassing.

🇮🇱🇮🇷 Netanyahu asked if Israel misled America into this war: "I misled no one. I didn't have to convince President Trump. He understood it. He explained it to me." He says oil prices will drop when Hormuz reopens. The question is when. And whether Iran survives long enough to keep it closed. Trump needs a deal. Netanyahu wants the regime gone. Those aren't the same goal. Source: ABC

🚨🇮🇷 ISRAEL’S GOAL: REGIME CHANGE Alex Christoforou explains that the world's biggest gas field was struck by Israel as a clear signal of escalation. The strategy is focused on decapitation strikes against leadership to cause enough chaos for the government to collapse. Netanyahu is now signaling that an alternative to the Strait of Hormuz is essential for regional control. @AXChristoforou

@MarioNawfal Netanyahu: “It was Will Durant, not me” sure Jan. The quote slipped out ‘cause that’s how he sees the fight: ruthlessness wins, morals second. No surprise
English
🇮🇱 Netanyahu is doing damage control after saying "Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan" at a press conference, claiming strength and ruthlessness can overcome good.
He now says he was quoting historian Will Durant.
But the quote reveals exactly how he sees this war: morality is secondary to power.
And that mindset explains a lot about what’s happened over the last three weeks...
Mario Nawfal@MarioNawfal
🇮🇱 Netanyahu went full edgelord: "Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan. Because if you are strong enough, ruthless enough, powerful enough, evil will overcome good." Bro… that’s not a flex, that’s a facepalm on steroids. Israel’s already fighting the global optics war, and the PM decides to drop “might makes right, Jesus who?” in the middle of it. PR team must be screaming into pillows right now. Source: @disclosetv
