🇮🇱🇮🇷Israel deployed a battery of the Iron Dome air defense system to the UAE at the very beginning of the war with Iran, according to Axios.

This was the first time that this air defense system was sent to a country outside of Israel and the United States.

The fact of the deployment is also indirectly confirmed by several flights of Emirati military transport aircraft C-17A Globemaster III and Il-76, carried out at the end of February and the beginning of March to the Israeli air base Nevatim.

For our part, we note that this step could have been taken as part of behind-the-scenes agreements in exchange for a possible unpublicized participation of the UAE Air Force in strikes on Iran.

🇺🇸Ten minutes before the attack, the shooter, Cole Allen, sent out a manifesto in which he called Trump a "pedophile and ra*ist," according to the New York Post.

He sent a letter of more than 1,000 words to his relatives shortly before the attack. In the text, Allen stated that he considered it his "duty" to attack members of the administration.

"I no longer intend to let a pedophile, ra*ist, and traitor sully my hands with his crimes," the manifesto stated.

He also described the "rules of engagement," dividing people into "targets" and "non-targets," and claimed that he aimed to minimize casualties, although he admitted that he would do whatever it took to achieve his goals.

In addition, Allen criticized the security of the event, stating that he was able to bring in weapons with almost no interference.

In response, Trump criticized the 60 Minutes program, where a fragment of the manifesto was read. He stated that he had expected such a question and called the journalists "terrible people."

"I'm not a ra*ist. I haven't ra*ed anyone," Trump said.

When the host asked if he thought the manifesto was about him, Trump replied, "I'm not a pedophile. You're reading this nonsense from a sick person."

He also added that he had been "completely exonerated" and told the journalist, "You should be ashamed of yourself... You're a disgrace."
