Arab Gulf states are facing waves of missile and drone attacks from Iran.
“It comes after the U.S. and Israel launched deadly attacks across Iran that killed”
its supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Hamanay and top military and political leaders, and PRS Ayah Batraway has detailed from Dubai. Iran insists it's not targeting countries in the region, but that it's defending against U.S. strikes by targeting U.S. troops at bases in the Gulf. The U.S. military says three U.S. ground troops were killed in five seriously wounded
as part of a support group in Kuwait. But attacks have gone beyond just military bases in the Gulf. Commercial ports in Dubai and Oman have been targeted. As have airports in Kuwait and the UAE's cities of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, shutting down air
space and leaving thousands of tourists stranded.
High-rise towers and fancy hotels have also been struck by drones or fallen debris from missile interceptions in Bahrain and Dubai, including on its luxury palm island.
“As of now, Gulf Arab states have not responded militarily to Iran's attacks.”

And PRS Franco or Donyez has the latest. President Trump said his administration has strong objectives, but he did not specify what
those are. In a six minute video, he posted online, Trump spoke of the contributions of the U.S. service members, who he called true patriot who made the ultimate sacrifice. We pray for the full recovery of the wounded and send our immense love and eternal gratitude to the families of the fallen and sadly, there will likely be more.
For it ends, that's the way it is likely to be more, but we'll do everything possible. Trump said he fulfilled his promise to the Iranian people and that they need to "take back your country." He said the rest will be up to them, but the U.S will be there to help. Franco or Donyez and PR News.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is condemning yesterday's killing of Iran's supreme leader
in air strikes, and PRS Charles Mainz tells us that Putin's first comments on the attack
came in the form of a condolence letter. In a telegram published of the Kremlin website, Putin called the U.S. and Israel's targeting of Hamanai, a cynical violation of human morality and international law. Putin said Hamanai would be remembered as a skillful leader who helped bring Russian Iranian relations to new levels of cooperation.
“Ron was key to helping Russia develop its domestic drone program after its full-scale invasion”
of Ukraine, and last year the two sides signed a strategic cooperation agreement. Yet Moscow's offered little beyond verbal criticism of U.S. Israeli actions thus far a tacit admission, and let's say, of the limits of Russian military resources, more than four years into its war in Ukraine.
