It appears that Iran does not believe Trump’s repeated threats of resumed military action. And why would they? Strategically, we do not appear to be gaining ground.
Worked out well for them the first time also, should we be expecting a 20 deep IRGC leadership meeting next Saturday afternoon?

According to a release from the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Defense, the drone attack that damaged a generator on the perimeter of the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in the Al Dhafra region was the result of 3 drones, from a yet unspecified actor, that entered the country from the west. Per the release the incident is being investigated

The most interesting part is that the drones entered UAE from the West. The only country west of them is Saudi Arabia. Of course, that doesn't mean Iran couldn't have sent drones via a lengthy route and they probably did. Still intriguing though.

Could be the Houthis sending them from Yemen, which is southwest of UAE.

That's who I expect did it on Iran's orders.

Qatar condemned the drone attack on the United Arab Emirates that targeted the Barakah nuclear power plant, calling it a “blatant violation” of international law and a serious threat to regional security and stability.
The attack “crossed all red lines” by targeting vital facilities and civilian infrastructure, Qatar’s foreign ministry said in a statement.
Qatar expressed “full solidarity with the United Arab Emirates and its support for all measures it takes to preserve its sovereignty, security and the safety of its facilities,” the ministry added.

Exactly …. because that is what their western media sources are telling them. They believe time is on their side.
It isn’t….

Put some parameters around "soon".
Tomorrow? A week from now? A month from now?
What is your over / under expectation?

I'm beginning to not believe him, too.

Awesome. Someone with the balls to actually draw a line in the sand instead of posting ambiguous bullshite.
Now, when did or does your 36-hour clock begin ticking?
Also, what is your expectation of what will happen prior to the expiration of those 36 hours?

Iranian officials say Tehran is prepared to seize the coastlines of the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain if the United Arab Emirates attempts to seize Iranian-controlled islands in the Persian Gulf.

Yeah, that is laughable.
