The US and Iran are back at it, and the neighbors are in the crossfire

Original version ·

Because apparently, stability was just a suggestion this week.

So, the US military decided to wake up early on Thursday to launch more airstrikes against Iran. Naturally, Tehran didn't just sit there. Instead of going tit-for-tat with Washington directly, they decided to start lobbing threats and targeting Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar.

It’s a classic move: keep the big boss busy while taking your frustrations out on the neighbors. This whole mess has effectively torched the interim deal that was supposed to keep things from spiraling into a total war. Watching this unfold is like seeing someone try to put out a bonfire with a bucket of gasoline.

Diplomacy is officially taking a backseat to whoever can throw the biggest tantrum in the region.
