The Big Satan doesn't protect the region from the Small Satan
Following Doha attack, Larijani tells Arab states to form ‘joint operations committee’ to confront Israel
TEHRAN – The Israeli fighter jets that violated Saudi Arabia’s airspace on Tuesday and rained missiles on residential buildings in the Qatari capital of Doha was a reminder of how brazen the Israeli regime has got in the past two years. It also highlighted the fact that no country in the region can insulate itself from the regime's violence, even if, like Qatar, it hosts the largest regional American base, gifted the U.S. President a $400 million aircraft, and has poured billions of dollars into the U.S. economy over the years.

Israel, the United States, and the attack on Qatar
MADRID – The Israeli attack on members of the Hamas delegation in Qatar, gathered to discuss a ceasefire proposal, marks a political turning point that goes beyond the immediate framework of the war in Gaza. It was not a mere military act nor a routine operation: it was a calculated move with broader implications.
