U.S. President Donald Trump stunned supporters by declaring he’s glad he lost the 2020 election, calling it a “blessing in disguise.” Trump said missing those four years has led him to a moment of destiny — to preside over America's 250th anniversary, the World Cup, and the Olympics. At a recent rally, he remarked, “It’s amazing how things work out!” framing his political comeback as part of a bigger plan.

Iran Attack On Saudi Arabia Breaking: Saudis Deploy THAAD Amid World War 3 Fear | US News

Rising tensions in the Gulf have prompted Saudi Arabia to urgently deploy its US-made THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) air defense system amid fresh Iranian threats of missile attacks. Intelligence reports warn that Iran could target critical Saudi infrastructure and American military assets in the region. The deployment underscores deepening security cooperation between Washington and Riyadh, even as US officials privately admit concern about Iran’s expanding missile capabilities. #THAADMissileSystem #SaudiArabiaDefense #USTHAADSystem #THAADInSaudi #MissileDefenseSystem #THAADDeployment #AntiMissileSystem #IranMissileThreat #THAADVsIran #SaudiUSDefense #THAADMissileDefense #MissileDefenceShield #THAADInAction #GulfSecurity #USMissileSystem #MiddleEastTensions #THAADProtection #IranVsSaudi #THAADShield #MissileDefenseTechnology ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.194~GR.124~

Saudi Arabia Ditch Trump For Putin | MBS Wants Russia In Middle East Not USA | Here's Why!!! [Video]

Saudi Arabia Ditch Trump For Putin | MBS Wants Russia In Middle East Not USA | Here's Why!!!

In a striking display of diplomatic unity, Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan declared that Riyadh welcomes Russia’s role in Middle Eastern affairs during a high-profile press conference with Russian FM Sergey Lavrov in Moscow. The comment signals a major shift in Gulf geopolitics, showing Saudi Arabia's increasing tilt toward Moscow as regional dynamics evolve. Lavrov and Farhan met at the Russian MFA Reception House, emphasizing cooperation on regional security, energy, and investment. Farhan praised Russia’s involvement as “always welcome,” underlining a growing partnership despite global Western efforts to isolate Moscow. The press conference further confirms Russia's expanding clout in the Gulf as the Kremlin strengthens alliances outside the West. The talks come amid heightened tensions in the region, and suggest Saudi Arabia is now playing a more independent, multi-vector diplomatic game — balancing its ties between Washington, Moscow, and Beijing. #SaudiArabia #Russia #Lavrov #FaisalBinFarhan #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #Putin #RussiaSaudiTies #Diplomacy #Moscow #SaudiFM #RussiaNews #GulfPolitics #BRICS #SaudiRussiaRelations #MiddleEastPolicy #EnergyPolitics #GlobalSouth #ForeignAffairs #WorldNews ~HT.410~ED.420~
