Ahlam lashes out at Al Jazeera over a post on Iranian army

ALBAWABA - Emirati singer Ahlam Alshamsi was angry at Al Jazeera over its lack of coverage of the news regarding the Iranian attacks on the Gulf countries.

A post was shared by the Qatari news outlet about the Iranian Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) angered Ahlam, who accused Al Jazeera of only focusing on Iran-related news and ignoring the Gulf countries.

In a post on Instagram, Al Jazeera shared a breaking news reading, "Iranian Revolutionary Guard: Starting from April 1st at 8:00 p.m., we'll begin targeting American Technology companies for every assassination in Iran."

On the post, Ahlam commented several times with the same words, "Why are there no pictures of Gulf leaders on your pages or in their statements? Why are there no pictures of the attacks against us? Of course, I mean the Gulf countries: UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman. Why are there no pictures of anything related to the Gulf? All your pages are about the Revolutionary Guard. I hope for an answer????????"

Since the start of the war in the region, the Emirati singer shared several Instagram posts showing support for the Gulf countries after Iranian attacks. She said in one, "Our destiny is one, and our enemy is one... O God, unite us in goodness and love, and protect our Gulf, Jordan, Lebanon, and Iraq from all evil, O Lord."

Israel and the United States started a preemptive attack against Iran on Feb. 28, Saturday morning. In response, the Iranian army announced launching Operation True Promise 4 targeting Tel Aviv and American assets in the Middle East, including U.S. bases in the Gulf countries.

The UAE Ministry of Defense said on March 31 that since the start of the war, a total of 188 people have been injured, with injuries ranging from minor to severe.
