Translated from Persian
According to Qatari and Hebrew sources, Qatari diplomats were supposed to stay in Iran for 78 hours for mediation, but they received orders to leave Tehran and fly toward Turkey.
They turned off the transmitter and left Iranian airspace.

Desertions will become the norm and the regime will soon topple


That is what Netanyahu said two months ago when he was trying to sell this war of choice to Trump. Marco Rubio summed it up best when he called this idea “farcical”.

JUST IN—Videos from Iranshahr and across Sistan & Baluchistan show massive fuel lines as residents wait in extreme heat just to refuel. Locals say reduced fuel quotas no longer cover basic travel, while black market gasoline prices have surged to 100,000 toman per liter, deepening the crisis in one of Iran’s poorest regions.


100,000 Toman equates to $1.29 per liter or about $4.90 per gallon. That is actually lower than what I thought their current black market fuel prices would be amidst the conflict.

The Gulf States want Iran’s regime gone — but they do not want to fight Iran themselves.

Countries like the UAE and Kuwait are quietly relying on the U.S. and Israel to finish the job, fearing Iran could target Gulf oil infrastructure and destabilize the region if pressure eases too soon.

Many Arab governments privately support tougher action against Iran but are afraid to say it publicly, unwilling to face a “wounded animal” across the Gulf alone.

Could mean nothing, but the IAF has been flying sorties into Syria lately in support of the local Druze communities amidst their conflict with the Syrian government.

They will join right before the Iranian regime topples.

During the initial bombing campaign, Saudi kept saying they were about to join in... and it never happened.
