🇮🇷 ⚡️ — Iran Military Reported Sea-Mine Deployment Capability with Fajr-5 Rockets

🔴 Iranian state media and military sources have highlighted the use of missile systems to target maritime areas like the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial global shipping route.

🔴 In January 2025, Iranian military television aired footage of the Fajr-5 MLRS firing in naval exercises, showcasing its adaptation for deploying sea mines over long distances.

🔴 This development demonstrates Iran's ability to quickly place mines in strategic chokepoints, enhancing its anti-access/area denial strategies against foreign naval forces and commercial shipping.

🇵🇸 🇮🇱 🇪🇺 🇪🇬 — REPORT: Gazans returning through the reopened Rafah crossing say members of the Abu Shabab militia (also known as the Popular Forces) conducted searches at an Israeli military checkpoint inside Gaza.

🔴 One woman said an Abu Shabab member searched women, introduced themselves, offered to help her travel to Europe if she cooperated, and alleged she and three others were beaten, strip-searched, handcuffed and verbally abused.

🔴 EU monitors at the crossing were accused of confiscating liquids, perfumes, make-up, phones, power banks and toys; EU Border Assistance Mission says its personnel only monitor Palestinian-run operations and do not confiscate items.

🔴 Fifty patients were due to return from Egypt but only 12 crossed after Israeli authorities called forward nine women and three children; COGAT did not respond to requests for confirmation.

🇮🇱 🇺🇸 ⚡️ — Alon Ben David, Maariv:

"In discussions with high-ranking Israeli officials, the Americans did not mention a goal of 'regime change,' but rather 'altering the behavior of the regime.' They had hoped that striking nuclear facilities during the war in June would instigate such a change, but their expectations were not met. Now, they are gearing up for much more extensive actions."
