War on Terror
I still remember the first time the world felt like it was burning around me. I was twelve, sitting in my parents’ living room, watching planes hit towers on TV. Smoke filled the screen, but the fear seeped into our home. My dad sat frozen, my mom gripped her tea so tightly I thought it might shatter. I couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe, couldn’t sleep. I kept imagining what it would be like if it happened somewhere near me. Somewhere I could see it, feel it.

Kharg Island Bombed: Trump.
Trump's postings on his social media network, Truth Social, can be flamboyant, over-the-top, dramatic, theatrical, and, dare I say, economical with the truth, making things seem bigger or better than they actually are. Not surprising from a man who thinks all eyes should be on him.

WHY ARAB STATES BEING TARGETED?
It is absolutely clear that they will go after every country that threatens Israel or is considered an existential or security threat to it. The agenda of Washington, D.C. is very clear: they will target every country that threatens Israel, and either destroy it through carpet bombing or erase it, just as they did with Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
