๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ช| The UAE says 3 drones โ€œfrom the westโ€ entered its territory and one drone struck the electrical generator outside the inner perimeter of the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant, in the Al Dhafra Region.

West region can mean Saudi Arabia, Iraq, or Yemen.

Could also mean Israel perhaps.

My Speculation

I think this might be relavent to the UAE attack as well as the discovery of two Israeli bases within Iraq.

My current theory is that Israel and the US are attempting to goad Saudi Arabia and the UAE into reigniting conflict with Iran. I think they're performing false flags with the idea that they can blame those attacks on Iraqi resistance groups.

They may also be using it so that Israel had some bullshit pretext it can use for Hasbara to day that Iran's allies don't respect the ceasefire so everything they're doing in Lebanon is actually fine.

Basically, I don't think the attack on the UAE is from Yemen like some believe, and that it's actually an attack from Israeli assets in Iraq.

Hadn't actually made this link with the Iraqi bases in my mind at all but this makes sense. Probably a nice little spot to set up in and conduct your false flags from.

My guess is saudi. I think they have the most to gain from an end to the fighting while the uae seems to be the most willing to restart the conflict in Iran. This could be their way of explaining that if uae start things they will not just be fighting Iran.
