US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said that Gulf countries are “going on the offensive” as he argued that the US’s war on Iran is going in Washington’s favour.

“The only thing that is widening is our advantage. Not to mention our Gulf allies stepping up even more now, going on the offence,” Hegseth said at a press conference on Friday.

The US’s Gulf allies have not said they are joining the US war on Iran, and Hegseth’s remarks have already raised eyebrows.

If either party, Kegsbreath or GCC monarchs, believe they can fight this war without their nations disintegrating in 3 weeks flat then Brics might as well try to accelerate things of this is the caliber of their competition

I personally prefer Clang monarchs.
