Al-Shabaab, the Al-Qaeda affiliate, is now the official sponsor for referee Omar Arten.
Talk about confirming USA’s concerns in real time. Terrorists endorsing you is not a good look.

Outstanding @MPPregent nails in on @i24NEWS_EN - very clear analysis of how the pressure on the Iranian Republic needs to be maintained. Only force focuses the regimes attention. Very nice mention of the Peshmerga- keep up the great work, Michael

BREAKING: Israel has launched airstrikes targeting Tehran, Tabriz, and Isfahan. The strikes directly defy a public appeal from US President Donald Trump for restraint, following an earlier wave of Iranian missiles fired in retaliation for Israeli attacks on southern Beirut.

Not the one in Qatar - it's a liability.
We need to reevaluate the relationship with Qatar post Epic Fury.
The U.S. Needs Its Mideast Bases
If America won’t finish the job in Iran, leaving the Gulf Arab states would turn a failure into a rout.

Qatar has spent at least $400 billion in the U.S. since 2000 — roughly $1.2 million per Qatari citizen. @NatalieEcanow spent more than a year tracking Qatari spending in the U.S.

U.S. Syria Envoy to Syria Tom Barrack wasted a year of everyone’s time, promising the world a Syrian Israeli ski resort at the border between the two countries. Instead, we got Syria exporting Islamist terrorists to Africa’s Sahel, the upcoming battlefield for the brewing jihad terrorism.
Syrian Fighters Reportedly Deployed to Niger and Other African States Amid Alleged Foreign Transfers
Groups of Syrian fighters linked to Turkish-backed factions have been transferred from Syria to Niger, as well as to other African countries including Mali and Burkina Faso, for alleged security and military missions abroad.
According to the reports, the individuals are said to originate from areas including Aleppo, Idlib, Hama, and rural Damascus, and were reportedly trained before being deployed outside Syria.
