Donald Trump, though... Well, I'm not thrilled.
I'm not thrilled about it.
Not psyched about it.
There was no condemnation of Israel.
No access of adults to give Israel a rap on the knuckles and tell them to stop.
In fact, when Netanyahu suggested just a few months later that it might be a good idea to attack Iran during peace negotiations with the US, Trump joined in.
The Israeli-US joint strikes began in broad daylight, hitting multiple Iranian cities, including the capital.
Iran responded with fury, firing missiles at anyone within reach.
For hours, missiles crisscrossed Middle Eastern skies.
As warning sirens blared, Israelis ran for cover.
Missiles were also fired towards Qatar.
In Doha, Qatar's military has been intercepting missiles aimed at a US airbase and the international airport.
Iran targeted Qatari gas infrastructure in retaliation to a strike on its major gas field, wiping out 17% of capacity for up to five years.
Decades of planning, investment and diplomacy by the Qataris
went up in smoke.
The Qatari government has labelled the strike a flagrant breach of international law.
The trouble is, international law doesn't really apply during the jungle times.
And not only that, old alliances and diplomacy are falling apart.
Even OPEC, Saudi Arabia's club of oil producing friends, is breaking down.
