Fox News anchor Bret Baier did a great interview with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lana Nusseibeh, where she made the case to do all that could be done to stop Iran.
"Iran's attack on Gulf allies of the United States and Jordan is an attack on the entire world and the world economy," she said. Trying to put a chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz is a threat to the world economy, Nusseibeh asserted.
"Effectively, Iran is trying to give the global economy a heart attack," she said. "We should not allow Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism, to set the global price for food and gas." That's why President Donald Trump was calling for a coalition. Not because we couldn't handle it, but because it's a world concern, and others have much greater interests in the Strait than does the U.S.

The report points out that most of the retaliatory strikes from Iran have been against the UAE, even more than against Israel.
The answer is because we are an idea that threatens Iran. Because we are open, we are progressive, we are tolerant, we're a vibrant economy said Nusseibeh.
Nusseibeh said Iran fired over 2,200 missiles and drones at the UAE, rather than negotiate over "well-understood concerns" about its nuclear program, over its ballistic missile program, and over its support for non-state terrorist actors.
Iran apparently thought this would split the UAE off and make them encourage the U.S. to stop. But the opposite is true, "This is a really ruthless regime, and President Trump is right to hold it to account today," she declared.
Iran has just ticked them off even more, just like with Saudi Arabia.
"The UAE has fought side by side with the United States in over six coalitions in our history. We have shared values, we have shared history with the United States. We have interoperability with the United States. They are a clear partner to us in regional security, and we intend to double down on that. Today we are looking at a threat to the international community at large that needs to be stopped in whatever way possible."
She said while they always favor a diplomatic option, Iran needed to understand that behaving as a rogue actor was not acceptable.
Iran isn't going to like this, and this blows up any narrative that the UAE would be breaking away from the U.S.

I'm no war or international relations expert but wouldn't the time to build a coalition be before we started bombing the shit out of Iran?
ReplyDeleteIt is kinda late now, isn't it?
Under ideal conditions, you build the coalition first, yes.
DeleteI'm no war or international relations expert either but I can answer that question.
Let me ask you this. Say that I have a 50 year history of planting bombs in your friends houses and killing them dead. Let's say now I'm telling you that I thought you were the devil and that when I finished building my bomb, I was going to blow your ass off the face of the Earth, and you had a spy in my secret bomb factory, who told you I got the final part in the mail yesterday ... would you spend time trying to find help or would you blow up my bomb factory first?
Oh, and we can still let all those people who use the Strait of Hormuz help with clearing it up since they use it more than we do.
And I think we've been getting more help from some of the Arab countries than the fake news is telling because that would not back up the story that they're telling about how all the Arab countries are hating us and hoping we lose.
I hope this helps.
Anon, you are commenting on the internet, you are a war and international relations expert, that is our job to Barker Lounger quarterback any situation that we haven't the education or security clearance to assess.
DeleteWhy did the bombings start so quickly? Iran, in negotiations, said they were days or weeks away from 6 functioning nuclear bombs, that they had the delivery devices and they'd hit Israel with one and the US with 5, and that within a month there would be 5 more bombs ready to hit Israel and the US.
DeleteYou know, bombs that Obama and Biden paid for.
When should the bombings have started? Before they nuke our asses, with surface strikes that are far more radioactive than airbursts? Or after they nuke our asses?
Israel took out Iran's air defense system. We took out the ability to move processed materials out of deep installations before they could be moved. We're now whacking any entrance/exit/air vent/utility corridor to all their processing facilities and assembly facilities. We're basically burying the people to die.
All because Obama and Biden gave them the money to develop and produce nuclear weapons.
Thanks, Beans. Exactly.
