War Against Iran: Trump Urgently Re-Arms Qatar, Israel, Kuwait, and the Emirates

The U.S. State Department approved military sales exceeding $8.6 billion to Qatar, Israel, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates, citing a national emergency. Qatar is the main beneficiary with a $4.01 billion contract for Patriot missile defense systems. This decision has been criticized by Representative Gregory Meeks, who condemned the bypassing of Congress. A fragile ceasefire has been in effect for three weeks without a formal agreement.
