2020-01-08 11:19:03The Arab world has become a playing field for peripheral non-Arab states, reflecting a new regional "politics of axes," but growing domestic discontent with this foul situation may lead to change. Mine for @TheNationalUAE: thenational.ae/opinion/commen…

2020-01-09 00:31:08This is in line with what the IRGC's commander of ops said last night: They hit Al Asad because they saw it as a "weapons depot" and they wanted to damage it to prevent future US action from there. twitter.com/gbrumfiel/stat…

2020-01-09 01:07:48NEW: Satellite photos shared with NPR show the damage from the Iranian missile strike at Ain al-Assad Air Base. An analyst says the buildings hit "seem to be used for storing aircraft" and "maybe they intended to strike sites with equipment over people." trib.al/icVjoHM
2020-01-09 00:46:50(QUESTIONS) If there *are* more attacks, via proxies or otherwise, how does Trump react? Will he establish a backchannel to Iran so direct contact can occur in a moment of sudden escalation? Is Trump listening to his advisers, and does he have *enough* who are experienced enough?
2020-01-09 01:01:15(QUESTIONS2) Does Trump foolishly draw red lines today that will invariably be crossed by Iranian proxies at a minimum? Does Trump clearly open an avenue for long-term negotiations, using Iran pulling out of the nuclear deal as a starting point? Does he repeat any war crime talk?

2020-01-09 06:10:22ポンペオ国務長官、国務省職員にMEKを含むイラン反体制派と許可なく接触しないよう通達を出したとのこと。MEKはジュリアーニやボルトンに食い込んでいる組織だが、ポンペオはイラン政府との関係を悪化させないような措置をとるよう指示しているということか。これは興味深い。 twitter.com/nwadhams/statu…

2020-01-08 02:07:13SL Ayatollah Khamenei is signalling two agendas: 1) Immediate revenge for Soleimani's killing 2) Longer-term goal to supplant US in the Arab world - Expect IRGC-allied militias to step-up asymmetric warfare against U.S. military targets twitter.com/PatrickOsgood/…
