Fascinating. "Sixty Russian agents identified: Prigozhin’s influence network taken over by the Foreign Intelligence Service" forbiddenstories.org/russian…

Israel is so scared of a negotiated US deal with Iran that it once again releases its dysinfluencer networks at the FDD to attack the mediator - this time they are lashing out at neutral Oman fdd.org/analysis/2026/02/05/…

This is a scenario that Trump may not have factored into his strategy or fully realized its importance. Those unaware of significance of Ayatollah Sistani's edict should study how it turned the tide against ISIS in 2014, when city after city was falling to the terrorist group.

A disaster for the US from a strategic communications point of view - having a Christian Zionist zealot in charge of the US embassy in Jerusalem is one thing, but giving him a platform to justify his extremist views undermines the administration's standing in the region

#Statement | The Foreign Ministry expresses its strongest condemnation and complete rejection of the statements made by the United States Ambassador to Israel, in which he recklessly suggested that Israel’s control over the entire Middle East would be acceptable.

Well being an agent of change doesnt require the mobilisation of cross-regional networks of violent non-state actors, or undermining territorial integrity and sovereignty of states albeit disfunctional ones

Small caveat is that the environment is far less permissive than in 1991/2003 with Gulf states not opening their bases and Jordan hesitant - also airspaces will be restricted for US and Israeli flights

This represents 40-50% of the deployable US air power in the world. Think air power on the order of the 1991 and 2003 Iraq war. And growing. Never has the US deployed this much force against a potential enemy and not launched strikes.

Ahmed Al-Tuwaijri: Abu Dhabi has acted as “Israel’s Trojan horse” in the region. Full episode ↓

🇺🇸🇦🇪| The @USTreasury has put the UAE in a very embarrassing position after placing the brother of the UAE backed RSF militia leader on the terror list and revealing that he holds an Emirati ID. The ironic part is that Abu Dhabi genuinely believes the world cannot prove its support for this genocidal militia. 🔗: ofac.treasury.gov/recent-act…

أندرياس_كريج: " أيا كان من تتحدث إليه في الوقت الحالي في جميع أنحاء الخليج، حتى البحرينيين، فإنهم يرون #الإماراتيين على أنهم الطرف الشاذ و #السعودية على أنها الطرف الذي يقف في الجانب الصحيح من التاريخ." .

“Whoever you are speaking to at the moment across the Gulf, even including Bahrainis, they see the Emiratis as the odd one out and Saudi Arabia as the one that is on the right side of history,” @andreas_krieg told Amwaj. amwaj.media/en/article/where…

"@andreas_krieg, a Middle East security expert from King’s College London, was less skeptical, and said that while the Board of Peace was a flawed project, it was also an "imperfect tool that can still be useful." nbcnews.com/world/gaza/board…

My piece in @ArabNews on The real story behind the #Saudi–#UAE rift arabnews.com/node/2633812

U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded that 15,000 to 20,000 people, including Islamic State affiliates are now at large in #Syria, after an exodus from a camp that held jihadists’ families By @jmalsin & @dnvolz "Sharaa ignored U.S. warnings not to proceed with his offensive, a lightning takeover that brought about the end of a Kurdish-controlled autonomous zone that posed a challenge to his efforts to consolidate control over the country. The Pentagon’s intelligence arm found that Sharaa’s government has demonstrated the willingness to work with the U.S. to fight terrorist groups but that the Damascus’s efforts are “limited by a lack of trained, qualified personnel, and the nascent state of security institutions,” wsj.com/world/middle-east/u-… via @WSJ

1) SCOOP: Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman sent a "lengthy" letter to UAE national security advisor Tahnoon bin Zayed complaining about the emirates' activities in Sudan and Yemen, multiple US and western officials told me . 🧵

BREAKING: US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee tells Tucker Carlson that Israel has the Biblical right to take over all of the Middle East. “It would be fine if they took it all.”

The most dangerous miscalculation now would be assuming Iran thinks like we do. To Tehran, absorbing the blows and remaining standing — is a win. Israel braces and window for a possible strike begins in 36 hours, say Israeli sources. My latest: nadaveyal.com/p/what-iran-mi…
