Ep. 2425 - Let Trump COOK

What was said

"The Saudi attacks marked the first time the kingdom is known to have directly carried out military action on Iranian soil. The attacks were launched by the Saudi Air Force. They were said to have been carried out in late March. And again, UAE allegedly did the same."

According to Reuters reporting cited by Shapiro, Saudi Arabia and the UAE conducted direct military strikes on Iranian territory for the first time, with Saudi Air Force attacks occurring in late March 2025. The UAE strikes were coordinated with Israel, representing unprecedented Gulf state military cooperation against Iran. This revelation contradicts narratives that the Iran conflict serves only Israeli interests.
