The article says Libya remains divided.

According to the article, Syria’s transitional government extended control under President Ahmed al-Sharaa after Bashar al-Assad’s ouster in December 2024, with more than 300,000 people killed and about half the population displaced.

During the interview, Graham urged the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia to strike Iran, saying, "Yeah. I want them to get into the fight."

He also suggested the White House may next target Cuba, saying, "The liberation of Cuba is upon us."

The article also says Iran launched significant missile and drone attacks on Gulf countries in retaliation, targeting US bases and critical infrastructure.
