President Biden’s visit to the Middle East is coming in the next week and will center on plans for a region-wide air defense system targeting Iran. The plan will be dominated by the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia.
Iran isn’t happy with this, warning that the addition of foreign forces into the region but will add to tensions and create a regional rift. The plan is being spun to target Iranian drones.
The whole joint Israel-Arab program backed by the US is part of the broader anti-Iran NATO the US is trying to get thrown together, and Biden is using this visit to try to boost the plan.
This alliance would indeed raise tension with Iran, which is exactly the point of the plan. The US is under pressure from these nations to “do more” against Iran, and envisions that being easier if they got them into an alliance and just had to subsidize the alliance directly instead of worrying about half a dozen nations at once.
Now that the Ukraine venture is coming to nuts the Zionists are pushing for another front to show for a win
Also actually targeting Russia’s influence in the region, solved with more carefully planned and organized explosive war from Syria through Iran. As usual it will be anyone allied to the US that will do the real suffering, along with our intended victims. Going there will only add to our long list of intractable problems of course.
Yes, signing up equals committed to being FUBAR.
“”plan will be dominated by the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia.””
remember when arabs and israelis were mortal enemies
What a messy soup…
Kuwait, Oman and Iraq will not join…!
I am a little vague about what Iran is doing wrong exactly. They backed a group that killed a bunch of Marines in 1985 past that it gets a little hazy. They provided assistance to us post 9-11 against the Taliban a mixed bag.
Cozying up with an apartheid regime and a brutal dictatorship?
How is air defense a threat?
Try putting it in Jordan and Lebanon, and then see Israel explain that same sort of “threat” to air space over Israel.
It is more of danger than threat… Iran is indirectly referring to the Iran Air passenger jet which was shut down by US over Persian Gulf…! The US explanation was it was mistaken with a fighter jet…!
…as opposed to IRGC shooting down Ukraine Flight 752 killing
176 people
Yes, as opposed to Ukraine shooting down the Malaysian Flight MH17 airliner killing 298 people…!
