Iranian supported Houthi rebels who attacked Saudi oil refineries is yet another example of how Iran is wreaking havoc in the Middle East. The Iranian regime is not interested in peace - they’re pursuing nuclear weapons and regional dominance.

foxnews.com/world/drone-at…
It is now time for the U.S. to put on the table an attack on Iranian oil refineries if they continue their provocations or increase nuclear enrichment.
Iran will not stop their misbehavior until the consequences become more real, like attacking their refineries, which will break the regime’s back.

I hope President Trump is right in his belief that Turkeys invasion of Syria is of no concern to us, abandoning the Kurds won’t come back to haunt us, ISIS won’t reemerge, and Iran will not fill the vacuum created by this decision.
However, I firmly believe that if President Trump continues to make such statements this will be a disaster worse than President Obama’s decision to leave Iraq.
I worry we will not have allies in the future against radical Islam, ISIS will reemerge, & Iran’s rise in Syria will become a nightmare for Israel.

I fear this is a complete and utter national security disaster in the making and I hope President Trump will adjust his thinking.

I was part of a phone call yesterday between President Erdogan and President Trump where President Trump received a commitment from the President of Turkey to stay away from the Kobani area to prevent further escalation in Syria.
If Turkey continues to move and take Kurdish areas around Kobani, I will take this as a breach of President Erdogan’s promise and a major escalation.
I am certain Congress and the Administration will hold Erdogan personally responsible for any atrocities committed in and around Kobani.

My advice to Turkey is stop before you completely destroy the relationship between the United States and Turkey.

To those who believe radical Islam is not a threat to our homeland after 9/11 and the rise of ISIS: you are sadly mistaken and ignoring all military advice.
Our southern border should be our LAST line of defense against radical Islam.

Our FIRST line of defense is the U.S. military working with partners in radical Islam’s backyard keeping them over there so they can’t hurt us here at home or hurt our allies like Israel.
This is the exact thinking of the previous Administration — leave them alone and let others do our work. It led to the rise of ISIS!

Didn’t work then. Won’t work now.

22. United States decided to label #IRGC terrorists. But who are the real terrorists? Who created, trained, armed & financed the worst terrorist groups in the world?

I'll post updates on the pending US-Saudi-Israeli strike against Iranian targets in this thread.
Yemeni Armed Forces Spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Sari has issued a warning to foreigners & company employees to leave certain areas in anticipation of potential strikes.
In other words, Donald Trump is waiting for the Khashoggi-murdering, Yemeni baby-genociding Crown Prince MBS (who is also the Saudi Defense Minister) to tell the American Commander in Chief what to do? Trump knows all this is BS. But if fits perfectly into Israel's Iran plans.

 @brhodes, the architect of the #Iran “echo chamber,” is working overtime to parrot Tehran’s talking points about Yemen.
Let’s take a look at Tehran’s role in Yemen and how they support the Houthis.
Of course, neither Rhodes nor MSM will ever highlight these facts.
2)
 Iran’s regime denies any role in the recent attack.
3)
 For those interested about details on the recent attack targeting two important Saudi oil facilities, this thread sheds some light.

#BREAKING
Baghdad, Iraq - Reports indicate sectarian militias (possibly linked to #Iran's regime) stormed the Bahrain Embassy.

Very similar to the Tehran incident back in 2016 when IRGC Basij paramilitary members stormed the Saudi Embassy and security forces took no action.
#UPDATE
Baghdad, Iraq - Some reports indicate various protesters storming the Bahrain Embassy were armed.
Iraqi protester seen chanting slogans condemning Bahrain for hosting the recent Palestine workshop.

#UPDATE
More signs of #Iran's involvement in wreaking havoc across the Middle East.

 Let’s talk about a recent WaPo piece written by #Iran apologist/lobbyist @AliVaez teaming up with a former Iranian FM Ardeshir Zahedi.

Question: Why don’t they ask Iran’s mullahs to run a “stable” & “normal" country?
2)
 Firstly, why do I describe @AliVaez as an #Iran apologist/lobbyist?

He has close links to the regime, especially Rafsanjani (now dead), the mastermind behind the campaign claiming Iran’s regime having a “moderate” faction.
3)
 This is the authors’ main concern:

U.S. President Donald Trump’s maximum pressure policy breaking the mullahs’ bones in Iran.

#Iran-backed #Houthi attacks on x2 @Saudi_Aramco oil tankers in the Bab el-Mendeb is a really big deal.

All Aramco oil shipments have been temporarily suspended

arabnews.com/node/1345626/s…
@Saudi_Aramco Notably, yesterday’s #Houthi attacks on oil tankers come a week after the #Houthis claimed to have attacked a @Saudi_Aramco oil refinery in #Riyadh with a drone.

reuters.com/article/us-yem…
@Saudi_Aramco #pts: #Iran makes no secret of its threats to attack #Saudi oil & shipping, just as it's repeatedly threatened to attack US assets in the region, as Qassem Someimani did earlier:

- “We're ready to confront you; You'll start the war but we'll end it."
