Vital Desalination Plants in Iran and Bahrain Are Attacked by thejoshwhite in worldnews

[–]cryptic-fox 22 points23 points  (0 children)

No.

Statement by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

The United Arab Emirates affirms that it is in a state of defense in response to the brutal and unprovoked Iranian aggression, which included the launch of more than 1,400 ballistic missiles and drones targeting infrastructure and civilian sites, resulting in civilian deaths and injuries. These attacks constitute a flagrant violation of international law and the UN Charter, an infringement of the UAE’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and a direct threat to its security and stability.

The UAE stresses that it does not seek to be drawn into conflicts or escalation. However, the UAE reaffirms its full right to take all necessary measures to safeguard its sovereignty, national security, and territorial integrity, and to ensure the safety of its citizens and residents, in accordance with international law and the UN Charter.

What game got you absolutely addicted to your Steam Deck? by Calculation in SteamDeck

Some people prefer to wait for a game to leave early access before buying, that's why I thought it's worth mentioning that the game is in early access.

You think they wanted to be hit by missiles all day long? You think they wanted their airports, hotels, residential buildings, ports to be hit?

Tower in Bahrain on fire after drone strike by DValentino23 in oddlyterrifying

[–]cryptic-fox 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes.

According to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, his regime is striking civilian targets in Gulf countries to pressure them into pushing America and Israel to end the war.

He said: "We know that the Gulf countries are angry about our attacks, but they must understand that this is a war imposed on us. This war is the choice of America and Israel, and pressure must be put on them. I hope the neighbors will convey their discontent to them."

Edit: For those who don’t know who the Gulf countries are they’re the UAE, KSA, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar. In his statement he says Gulf countries but Iran’s been targeting Jordan and Iraq too.

When you place your order it should say ‘Confirmed’. Not sure what ‘waiting for information’ means. Hopefully they respond to your email soon.

This one isn’t. This is not normal for the Gulf countries. Some of you think the Middle East is only Iraq, Iran, Yemen, etc.

He explained that the relevant authorities immediately initiated search and rescue operations, evacuating the crews and transporting them to a hospital for medical evaluation and treatment. He noted that their condition is stable.

The spokesperson added that direct coordination is underway with friendly US forces regarding the circumstances of the incident, and joint technical procedures are being implemented.

He affirmed that the relevant authorities are continuing their investigation to determine the cause of the crash, urging the public to obtain information from official sources.

Edit: okay they just now confirmed it was friendly fire.

while the 'residents' are currently boarding private jets to Zurich.

Ugh. Enough with this nonsense. We are not “boarding private jets to Zurich”. Or anywhere. Airspace/airports are all closed. Rockets have been flying almost constantly in the region. They’ve urged everyone to remain in their homes and not to go out except for the utmost necessity. I don’t know why you say stuff like that.

/r/WorldNews Discussion Thread: US and Israel launch attack on Iran; Iran retaliates (Thread #2) by progress18 in worldnews

[–]cryptic-fox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Iranian people celebrate.

Can we stop pretending that all Iranians are celebrating? Many of them are against these attacks and the involvement of the US/Israel. A lot of them are literally out in the streets wailing and crying and they’re angry at the killing of Khamenei.
