Officials say Iran’s retaliatory attacks in the Middle East over strikes from Israel and the U.S. have left some of America’s partners in the Gulf frustrated over a lack of notice or adequate defense.

The Trump administration is confronting mounting discontent from allies in the Persian Gulf who have complained they were not given adequate time to prepare for the torrent of Iranian drones and missiles bombarding their countries in retaliation for strikes launched by the U.S. and Israel.

Officials from two Gulf countries said their governments were disappointed in the way the U.S. has handled the war, particularly the initial attack on Iran last Saturday. They said their countries were not given advance notice of the U.S.-Israeli attack and complained the U.S. had ignored their warnings that the war would have devastating consequences for the entire region.

    The Epstein-Trump criminal syndicate was an Israeli-American intelligence operation. That’s the ONLY scenario where all of this makes sense. That’s the only scenario where all of this, including the American Nazi parties rise to power, lead by the Epstein class, was allowed to happen.

    There is no chance in hell these “intelligence” agencies weren’t complicit in the worlds most high-profile corporate oligarchs, billionaires, and royalty frequenting a pedo-brothel for more than 2 decades. We already know they had mountains of evidence for most of that time. They’re the only ones who have visibility of, and could cease all law enforcement investigations of, all perpetrators across the developed world. Epstein used unencrypted gmail comms to discuss their crimes because they knew they were protected by the overarching surveillance apparatus.
