Confirmed Israel attacked Iran

💠Israeli Defense Minister, Israel Katz, announced that the Israeli government has carried out a preemptive strike against Iran "to eliminate threats against the State of Israel."

Katz declared a special state of emergency across the country and warned that missile and drone attacks against Israel and its civilian population are expected soon.

Instructions from the Home Front Command must be followed, and people should remain in protected locations.

❗️The Arab Persian Gulf countries are on the brink of a famine—thanks to the USA

The UAE, Bahrain, and Qatar import 90% of their food.

Saudi Arabia 70-80%.

These are the consequences for hosting US bases in their countries.

The sooner the better for Iran.

Shame on them. By the way, I'm in New Zealand and they're saying in the news that we can't export chilled meat to these countries for quite some time haha!

edit: sadly trade may resume but hopefully not for several days
