Khalaf Ahmad Habtoor To Trump: Who Gave You Authority To Drag Our Region To War? by God1000(op): 11:06am On Mar 07
Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor, a prominent UAE businessman, has demanded that Donald Trump explain why the United States chose to pursue war with Iran and whether the US President considered the potential risks to Gulf nations before launching the war jointly with Israel.

In an open letter to Trump on X, Habtoor attacked Trump’s decision to go to war with Iran, asking the US leader: "Who gave you the authority to drag our region into a war with #Iran? And on what basis did you make this dangerous decision?

Did you calculate the collateral damage before pulling the trigger? And did you consider that the first to suffer from this escalation will be the countries of the region itself!

The peoples of this region have the right to ask as well: Was this your decision alone? Or did it come as a result of pressures from #Netanyahu and his government?"

The Emirati founder and chairman of the Al Habtoor Group that deals with hospitality, automotive, car leasing, real estate, education, and publishing sectors accused Trump of placing the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries "at the heart of a danger they did not choose."

"You (Trump) have placed the countries of the #GulfCooperationCouncil and the Arab countries at the heart of a danger they did not choose. Thank God, we are strong and capable of defending ourselves, and we have armies and defences that protect our homelands, but the question remains: Who gave you permission to turn our region into a battlefield?" Habtoor asked Trump

I think the gulf states are gradually waking up, they should stop being US puppets

America is only interested in their oil, nothing more, they can't even protect their military bases not to talk of them

Donald trump is a lunatic, the best way to handle such people is through the show of strength, never bow to them

The truth remains that until the elites tell themselves the truth, this war isn’t ending soon…Iran needs to accept peace if not the war will start looking like Ukraine war…. The funny thing is that Iran will continue taking the hit… no shot has been fired towards US soil yet while Iran is gradually looking like Ukraine…


Who pass you pass you… just accept peace and move on…. It’s a lesson to those that see Russia and china as allies
Re: Khalaf Ahmad Habtoor To Trump: Who Gave You Authority To Drag Our Region To War? by Pierocash(m):
I think the reason America always like to go to war is simply because they don't fight the wars directly from their own soil. They use other countries as battle grounds to fight while those countries suffer collateral damages , meanwhile the main architect of the war has no single infrastructural damage in their own country.

I think if any country can develop a missile that could reach American soil directly, I believe the arrogance of US will drop. Very selfish country

Billionaires hate wars. That's why Elon Musk was always pushing Ukraine to capitulate to Russia. They want to be alive to enjoy their billions and accumulate more.

That's why they fight everyone.

The same people that love guns and say everyone has a right to defend themselves, suddenly think it's wrong of others to have the same kind of weapons they have.

Mr Billionaire, abeg where were you when the UAE sponsored RSF to commit genocide against the indigenous black nubian population in Sudan? That's why I can't be bothered with the selective outrage the Arabs show towards the Israel - Palestine situation.

Most of these Arabs think the life of an average black African has no value.

Me too I keep wondering who gave Boko Haram authority to plunge Nigeria into their unending war. They claim to be of a specific faith.

This is the reason why you should not allow USA have a military base in your country. They will feel entitled to use it during any war, automatic putting that host country in the war.

One thing I’ll like to say is that people supporting US/Isrrhell on this war need their brain to be checked.

Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor is a name that doesn't ring a bell. They even packaged him as 'businessman'. What's a mere businessman to a president? Lol! Terrorists are desperately looking for closure. grin

Mr Billionaire does not care as long as he keeps making his own money peacefully in his own country Boko Haram can keep spreading the faith with good financial backing.

So you're expecting them to fire towards US? God forbid evil and that will be foolish of them.

Bro, not only him. There are Nigerians who are more concerned with the lives of Arabs but would turn a blind eye to the Arab backed genocide against black Africans in Sudan.


See what the wonderful, kins hearted Arabs are doing to Africans in the middle east, when you talk dem go say "Racism has no place in Islam, it is one Ummah"... yimu

Trump is saving the future of the Middle East from terrorist.

educatedfool:

Hope u know Iraq under saddam hussein invaded Kuwait for its oil? it was the US that came to rescue Kuwait they would have been a conquered nation.

it is the US stopping Iran from invading or attacking many Middle East nations.

Only China, North Korea and Russian can do that. Reason why the lunatic doesn't want to go into war with them directly.

People don't know what this war is about

It's not about supporting the supposed bully cos you are weak and want everyone to surrender like you

Iran and USA can keep striking from now till next year, so long as Iran does not surrender to them as trump wants them USA is finished

Its the same thing happening in Russia vs Ukraine, mighty Russia still bullying a Ukraine that is standing up to them equal
