They made a deal. They broke it probably 10 times.

After diplomatic contacts between Saudi and U.S. officials, MBS spoke with Trump on Friday and requested backing for military action against the Houthis, which Trump granted.

The confrontation began after a Mahan Air aircraft landed in Sana'a and transported a Houthi delegation to the funeral of former Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei — the first such Iranian flights to the city in more than a decade.

Saudi Arabia subsequently blocked further flights, with a U.S. official describing Mahan Air as "the IRGC airline."

When another Iranian aircraft approached Sana'a on Monday, Saudi forces struck the airport, forcing the plane to divert to Al Hudaydah. A U.S. official claimed it was carrying weapons, missile parts, and military experts for the Houthis.

The Houthis later retaliated with missiles and drones targeting Saudi Arabia.

Trump posted that he'll unblock the Strait of Hormuz, but for each ship he unblocks, each ship he frees, the owner of the oil has to pay 20%.

That used to be called piracy, didn't it? That used to be called piracy. So, a major power like the United States, which I think fought against piracy for a long time, cannot now become a pirate.

It wasn't Brazil that started the war with Iran, was it? Did Brazil fire any shoots or kill anyone? No, Trump is the one who started.

We cannot accept the United States provoking a war by claiming Iran wanted to build a nuclear weapon. What I can say is: that's a lie.

Just as they invented the claim that Saddam Hussein had chemical weapons and went to destroy Iraq. That was in 2004. Where are the chemical weapons? It's been 22 years.

Now, Iran had no nuclear weapons, no capability to build them, and no intention either. And then Trump started the war.
