Nobel Peace Prize winner Dmitry Muratov won't be branded a 'foreign agent' if he follows Russian law, President Putin tells me in Moscow today

“This is all-out warfare on countries that are technically neutral.” @_HadleyGamble calls the closing of the Strait of Hormuz an 'existential crisis' for the Gulf Arab states.

🤣🤣 One of the great responses to a reporter in history! JAPANESE REPORTER: Why didn't you tell Japan before the Iran war? PRESIDENT TRUMP: "Why didn't you tell ME about PEARL HARBOR?!" "You believe in surprise much more-so than US!"

Leaders emphasise the need for an immediate halt to Iran’s military escalation to support regional security

🇪🇬🇮🇷 Egypt starts energy rationing as costs surge This includes earlier shop closures, dimmed street lighting, and possible remote work. The world is feeling the pinch, especially those who never asked for this war

New wartime billboards around the UAE — where the vast majority of residents are not Emirati citizens.

Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud slams Iran: I do not understand how they claim to defend Islamic causes while attacking Islamic countries. They are not attacking just one nation—Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE, Oman, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Türkiye—all are Islamic countries, and all have been targeted. Even before this war, what was Iran’s contribution to the Islamic world? They supported the Houthi militia in Yemen. They supported militias in Iraq—and now they are attacking Iraqi territory. They have interfered in Lebanon through Hezbollah, not only hijacking political decision-making but also carrying out destabilizing actions across the region, including in Saudi Arabia. One of the clearest examples is Iran and Hezbollah’s role in Syria. So where is this so-called support for the Muslim world when such actions are taking place? How can they claim to support Islamic causes while backing regimes that oppress their own people, assassinating political figures in Lebanon, and empowering militias that hinder development in Iraq? I do not see any real support for Islamic causes. These are merely slogans used as cover. In reality, these tools are used to serve Iranian interests—not the principles they claim to defend.

JOE ROGAN TURNS ON TRUMP: "A lot of people feel betrayed. He ran on no more wars and these stupid, senseless wars. And then we have one that we can't even really clearly define why we did it."

Amid a growing energy crisis, European states must support the US and Israel in defeating Iran or accept the consequences of prolonged conflict.

BREAKING: Bingo - welcome to $100+ oil. Most thought impossible - predicted $100+ in June. Now, as most EU bureaucrats still don't grasp consequences, predict Russian 🇷🇺 energy vital for survival & strategic blunders of restricting it will be fully exposed. Diversify to survive

Ha! It’s true

@clashreport Have always thought the same. Reason given - they are afraid to close down and build because they might lose a season of tourists if there is a conflict.

Tucker Carlson: Israel is one of the ugliest countries in the world. They have built nothing of beauty since 1948.

I drove to Muscat and back in my own car last week. There is no debris on the road, the crossing was fast if timed right, and the main highlight was the Omani border guard seeing my Italian passport and expressing his extremely passionate feelings about… Juventus. Should have picked up some passengers at $10k a pop, in retrospect, given than I do drive a rugged 4x4.

Thank you.

Bravo @yarotrof

To those who are perpetuating false narratives against the United Arab Emirates and President Sheikh @MohamedBinZayed personally, you are full of it. I met with him today for an hour and a half. Not only is he alive, but he is also well and as sharp as I’ve ever seen him. To those powers that feel the need to attack MbZ and the UAE for doing the right thing - you do so at your own peril. Our meeting today was very enjoyable and informative. We discussed the historic moment that is facing the region. I told him how much I appreciated his courage and vision to create an Islamic country that can be integrated into the world in a win-win fashion, both for the people of the UAE and for those who visit and do business with the country. However, there are other voices in Islam that have the darkest vision of mankind. Those voices are distinctly in the minority, in my view. MbZ’s decision to embrace the Abraham Accords and to modernize his country while still maintaining the faith is the biggest change in the Middle East in my lifetime. What the United Arab Emirates have done to try to integrate the region with the whole world is one of the bravest and most consequential decisions any Middle Eastern leader has made. I was very candid with MbZ that he cannot do this by himself. Other people in the region have to buy-in to what’s happening with the UAE, not just be casual observers. To the region: Understand that history is about to be made. President Trump wants a region that looks more like the UAE and less like the Ayatollah. The region can only move forward if it follows the vision that embraces the light instead of going backwards into the darkness. The UAE’s vision for the Middle East and the 2030 vision previously expressed by the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia is something I would fully embrace because it would be great for South Carolina, and great for America. The forces that are merging here recently are trying to undercut the movement toward the light. They are going back to the old way of doing business, playing cheap politics. Your actions have not gone unnoticed by me or others. If this continues, it will do enormous damage to the best opportunity I've seen in hundreds of years to change the Middle East for the better. Finally, to those who believe that the region still flourishes if the ayatollah’s regime survives, I could not disagree more. If this religious Nazi regime in Iran still stands after all this bluster and the people are shut out and continue to be oppressed, it puts everything we’ve worked for at risk, including the Abraham Accords. Now, I am off to Saudi Arabia where I look forward to meeting with the Crown Prince who has shown a lot of courage and wisdom and has embraced, in the past, a vision that will forever change the Middle East for the better. Time will tell as to what happens.

'Real change doesn't come without some sacrifice. This region [Middle East] is going to change one way or the other,' Lindsey Graham tells Hadley Gamble in On The Record. The US senator is touring the Gulf as President Trump orders a substantial military build-up in the region. @_HadleyGamble
