    quote    In a moment when the region faces the treachery of the brutal Iranian aggression, I can only salute the resilience and steadfastness of our sister Kingdom of Bahrain, standing tall with an unbreakable will, under wise leadership and an aware people who stand as one to defend its sovereignty, security, and achievements. For nations are measured in times of adversity, and Bahrain will remain, as we have always known it, an impregnable fortress against every threat. A salute of appreciation and pride from the UAE, and we will defeat together the aggression of evil and darkness.

    quote    I commend @POTUS and the U.S. Military for successfully executing the daring search and rescue operation for the American F-15 pilot and crew member officer in Iran.
