Fronting

There stood a city, fronting far away / the mouths of Tiber and Italia's shore, / a Tyrian settlement of olden day, / rich in all wealth, and trained to war's rough lore, / Carthage the name, by Juno loved before / all places, even Samos.

They by the path their forward steps pursued, / and climbed a hill, whose fronting summit frowned / steep o'er the town.

Iran is proudly fronting its new weapons.

Stop fronting, you have no idea what's going on.
