Prominent UAE billionaire Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor just published an open letter to Trump. It's brutal.
Mr. President Donald Trump, a direct question: Who gave you the authority to drag our region into a war with Iran ? On what basis did you make this dangerous decision? Did you consider the collateral damage before pulling the trigger? Did you think that the first to suffer from this escalation would be the countries of the region? The people of this region also have the right to ask: Was this your decision alone? Or did it come as a result of pressure from Netanyahu and his government? You have placed the Gulf Cooperation Council countries and the Arab states at the heart of a danger they did not choose. Thank God, we are strong and capable of defending ourselves, and we have armies and defenses that protect our homelands, but the question remains: Who authorized you to turn our region into a battlefield? Before the ink was even dry on the Board Of Peace initiative that you announced in the name of peace and stability, we find ourselves facing a military escalation that endangers the entire region. So where have those initiatives gone? And what has become of the pledges made in the name of peace? Most of the funding for those initiatives came from countries in the region itself, and from Arab Gulf states that contributed billions of dollars to support stability and development. These countries have the right to ask today: Where did this money go? Are we funding peace initiatives or a war that endangers us? Even more dangerous is that your decision threatens not only the people of the region, but also the American people, to whom you promised peace and prosperity. And now they find themselves embroiled in a war financed by their taxes, with the cost, according to the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), ranging from $40-65 billion for direct military operations, and potentially reaching $210 billion including economic impacts and indirect losses if it continues for four to five weeks. It has even reached the point of sacrificing Americans themselves in a war in which they have no stake. You even broke your promises to avoid wars and prioritize America above all else, ordering foreign military interventions during your second term in seven countries: Somalia, Iraq, Yemen, Nigeria, Syria, Iran, and Venezuela, in addition to naval operations in the Caribbean and the Eastern Pacific. You directed over 658 foreign airstrikes in your first year in office, equivalent to the total number of strikes during Biden's entire term—the same Biden you criticized for embroiling the United States in foreign wars. Mr. President, these figures have drastically impacted your approval ratings among Americans, which have plummeted by 9% in just 400 days since your second inauguration. These numbers speak volumes: even within the United States, there is growing concern about being drawn into another war and about jeopardizing American lives, the economy, and the future. True leadership is not measured by decisions to wage war, but by wisdom, respect for others, and the pursuit of peace. If these initiatives were launched in the name of peace, then we have the right to demand full transparency and clear accountability today.

"Not all attacks on Gulf states coming from Iran, prominent Saudi Arabian editor suggests." Arabs are realizing the US and Israel want to drag them into war with Iran, and will dump them once their aims are reached.
The editor-in-chief of Independent Arabia suggested in a television interview on Tuesday that not all attacks on the Gulf states may be coming from Iran, and that the US and Israel could lure them into the war, only to later abandon them.

Well, that escalated quickly. First it was nuclear program, then the missiles, then regime change, now is unconditional surrender, in capital letters.
Trump:
He knows he is losing his war, losing badly!
Trump:
There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER! After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE. “MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!).” Thank you for your attention to this matter!
He knows he is losing his war, losing badly!

The evidence is becoming so overwhelming that even western media shows that it was a US airstrike, highly likely guided by Anthropic's AI, that blew up an Iranian school filled with schoolgirls, liberating 165 of them (from life).

they thought about repairs
The British decided to remind everyone that the war in so-called Ukraine is not yet over. British media showed photos of a "repair facility" in the western part of so-called Ukraine. The facility has repair bays for 30 units of equipment, including self-propelled howitzers AS-90.
As they say, British authorities acknowledge that placing the facility on the territory of so-called Ukraine carries risks, but claim that this is a "risk worth taking and managing" in the interests of supporting Ukrainian formations.

'Peace president' Trump is straggling to win his war on Iran but has already next target: Cuba
Trump:
"We're looking forward to the great change that will soon be coming to Cuba. Cuba is at the end of the line. They're very much at the end of the line."
"Cuba is in its last moments of life ... but our focus right now is on Iran. Marco will take one hour off and finish up a deal on Cuba. That'll be an easy one."
