Morning Wire
U.S. Decapitates Iran & D.C.’s ‘Epic Fury’ Divide | 3.2.26

So I think that's a very big reveal.

Iran provides a lot of oil and energy resources to China.

It provides drones to Russia for its war in Ukraine.

And if the government there changes, as it sure seems likely now, that's a significant blow to the bad guys.

It could in the long run.

Right now, Russia is relying on weapons from Iran and troops from North Korea for its war in Ukraine.

The Iranian inputs are now in question.

Now, historically, Russia has done quite well in wars of attrition, but right now on the battlefield, it doesn't look very good for Russia, and this certainly won't help.

Morning Wire
U.S. Decapitates Iran & D.C.’s ‘Epic Fury’ Divide | 3.2.26

Well, it's been very interesting.

Morning Wire

attacking Iran—

have basically said, we now support these attacks on Iran because, in part, Iran launched counterattacks against U.S.

So that has kind of, again, been a big reveal here that behind the scenes, it's very likely leaders from Saudi Arabia and these other countries were in fact encouraging the United States and then by extension Israel

to make this attack against Iran.

Iran is the enemy of pretty much everyone in that region, whether you're a Sunni Arab state or Israel or even Turkey, which has also voiced concerns about this attack.

Morning Wire
