Their war... and its missiles over our heads

The conflict may be between you, but the sky is ours, the airports are ours, the waters are ours, and the people who sleep under missile trajectories are our own.

In Washington, targets are designated; in Tehran, retaliation platforms are prepared. Yet the bill always seeks a Gulf address.

The dispute with the United States does not grant Tehran the right to punish Arabs, nor does it turn Gulf cities into mailboxes through which it dispatches its military messages.

If the United States strikes inside Iran, and Iran then launches its missiles over our heads, this is not a response to the United States, but an evasion of confrontation by targeting neighbors.

The Gulf does not seek war, but it will not allow anyone to impose it upon them. If retaliation becomes necessary to protect the land and sovereignty, it will be decisive and powerful, forcing the aggressor to recalculate before even raising a missile.
