From the Rabbi of the Arabian Peninsula

Blessed Friday and Happy Sabbath.

*  Major preparations: Iran is planning to assassinate a Gulf ruler, and the Gulf countries that Iran now hates the most are the UAE and Bahrain. We pray to the Great Name to protect everyone who seeks good and to destroy everyone who seeks evil. But I say to the security services of those two countries: Pay attention, be careful, keep your eyes open, and we in Israel are always ready to help.

* The devastating Gulf war has not yet come. The Americans will strike Iran with a very painful blow, and Iran will respond by setting the Gulf and Jordan ablaze. We pray to the Great Name to protect the innocent and the poor among the peoples of all countries.

*  This time, Iran will strike even Saudi Arabia. Iran will pass through Qatar, and Iran is in control. It will target civilian areas in Jordan. Iran will burn everything, both green and dry, across the Gulf, and the Americans will respond with a bomb that may be like a miniature nuclear weapon or a very advanced bomb.

*  The UAE has obtained a new weapon from the Americans, and it will use it against Iran. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed knows exactly what I am talking about. The UAE has sent a message to Iran: If you want to destroy us, we can destroy you as well.

*  The United States is dissatisfied with Saudi Arabia because of its neutral position toward Iran. America expected a strong Saudi role against the Iranians, but President Trump was surprised that a number of Gulf countries stand with Iran and on Iran’s side.

*  Kuwait has stood on Iran’s side because Kuwait follows Saudi Arabia, while Qatar is with Iran, and of course many others are as well. This is something America has not remained silent about.

*  I know that Saudi Arabia does not yield to blackmail, and we do not blackmail anyone. Frankly, we do not need peace with anyone. We lived for 80 years without normalization and peace, and we can continue for 1,000,000 years without it. But I believe this option is the best for us, and equally the best for the Saudis.

*  The health of the King of Jordan has deteriorated significantly and is worse than ever before.
