🇾🇪🇸🇦🇮🇷 - Note, Riyadh strongly protested Tehran's violation of its blockade of all Ansarullah airports two weeks ago. Saudi Arabia responded to the violation with heavy aerial movement across Ansarullah's airspace. Iran has repeatedly claimed it will continue to operate flights to and from Sana'a ever since.

🇾🇪🇸🇦🇮🇷⚡- Saudi-backed Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council has confirmed the Saudi airstrikes were in response to the Iranian violation of the blockade of Ansarullah airports. The PLC warns further retaliation if Iran continues to violate Yemeni airspace.

🇾🇪🇸🇦🇮🇷 - Note, the plane returning the Ansarullah delegation from Ali Khamenei's funeral, IRM1199, is descending into Sana'a, Ansarullah-controlled Yemen.

🇾🇪🇸🇦🇮🇷⚡- Ansarullah have also confirmed the attacks on Sana'a International Airport and have vowed retaliation.

⚡️🇾🇪🇮🇷 Yemen’s defence minister has said that diplomatic efforts to persuade Iran and the Houthi militias to stop violating Yemeni airspace have failed. “Patience has run out,” he said.

The minister accused Iran of using Iranian aircraft to breach Yemeni airspace, describing the act as a challenge to international legitimacy.

He warned that the armed forces will respond with all available means to any hostile aviation that violates Yemeni sovereignty, and that Iran bears full legal and moral responsibility.

It landed in Hodeidah instead.

—❗️🇮🇷 Iran’s Khatam Al-Anbiyaa Central Command:

– The repeated adventurism and hostile actions of the U.S. in interfering in the Strait of Hormuz have seriously jeopardized regional security, trade, and maritime traffic.

– The cooperation of some regional countries has severely increased the risk of war spreading throughout the region.

– In accordance with previous warnings, we will not allow the United States to interfere in the management of the Strait of Hormuz in any way, shape, or form.

– Leaders of regional countries are warned that any cooperation with the United States and the provision of logistical support to its aggressive military constitutes an act of war against Iran's sovereignty and national security. Should war spread in the region, the flames of war will engulf all countries in the region.

– The responsibility for all insecurity and the expansion of war in the region lies solely with the United States and the countries that cooperate with the military of that criminal country.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 President Trump on Truth Social:

‘The Hormuz Strait is OPEN, and will remain OPEN, with or without Iran. We are reinstating the THE IRANIAN BLOCKADE, so named because it is only stopping Iran’s ships or customers from entering or leaving. All other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait.

The U.S.A. will be, from this point forward, known as “THE GUARDIAN OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT,” but as such, and as a matter of FAIRNESS, will be reimbursed, at the rate of 20% on all cargo shipped, for any and all costs necessary to do the job of providing safety and security to this very volatile section of the World. The process and formation will begin immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!’

👮‍♂️ 🇬🇧 ✡️ An extra 500 police officers are to be deployed in dedicated units to protect Jewish communities across England and Wales following a wave of anti-Semitic attacks.

Ministers have agreed to devote more than £250m to boosting security in Jewish neighbourhoods and around schools, synagogues and community centres

Measures will include a new specialist team of 300 Metropolitan Police officers dedicated to protecting Jewish communities in London, following incidents including the stabbing of two Jewish men in Golders Green in April and a series of firebomb and arson attacks on synagogues.

The money will also enable the continuation of Project Servator, which deploys specialist and plain-clothes officers who are trained to identify suspicious behaviour and prevent serious crime.
