🇾🇪⚡- "In its continued aggression and siege against our dear Yemeni people for nearly 12 years, we have observed large Saudi military buildups in their final stages, aimed at escalating the aggression against the liberated provinces [Ansarullah-controlled Yemen] and the Yemeni people.

Our armed forces conducted a large-scale and precise military operation targeting Saudi enemy troop concentrations in the areas of al-Ruwaik, al-Abr, al-Thaniyah, and other camps belonging to the so-called First and Third Emergency Divisions, using a large number of ballistic missiles and drones.

We assure our dear Yemeni people in all governorates that the [Ansarullah] Armed Forces are fully prepared to confront any escalation.

We call upon all our people to remain vigilant and confront any Saudi aggression, and to strike Saudi troop concentrations wherever they may be.

We will continue the "siege for siege" equation until the siege on our country is lifted," - Yahya Saree, Ansarullah's spokesman.

🇮🇷🇴🇲⚡- Iran and Oman are reportedly discussing a proposal to gradually replace the current northbound and southbound shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz with a single central navigation corridor.

Under the plan, during the transitional phase vessels would initially continue entering through the northern lane near Iran and exiting through the southern lane near Oman.

Post transitional phase, all maritime traffic would be routed through the central corridor, with Iran overseeing inbound traffic and Iran and Oman jointly managing outbound traffic. Transit fees would be based on services provided, including insurance, bunkering, and environmental support, rather than a percentage of cargo value. This is in contradiction to an earlier Reuters report that stated a fixed 3-7% tariff on cargo value.

- All Israeli vessels, including civilian ships, will not be allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
- Any ship involved in hostile actions against the Axis of Resistance will be prevented from transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
- States or entities deemed responsible for harming Iran would be denied passage until compensation is paid.
- Violators could face heavy penalties, including fines of up to 20% of cargo value.
- Iran's military must expand its role in navigation control, traffic monitoring, and maritime security in the Persian Gulf.

🇵🇸🇲🇦🇮🇱⚡- "The Gaza Board of Peace has signed the first contract for a project to establish a major military site that will accommodate 150 people and house Moroccan soldiers.

The contract, which has not yet been finalized, was awarded to "Arkel International," a company from the state of Louisiana in the United States that has previously carried out work for the U.S. government in countries such as Iraq.

The planned base will currently cover an area of only 100 meters by 120 meters and will be used to house a contingent of Moroccan soldiers who will rotate in from a base within Israel.

The base will be located within the "Yellow Line" controlled by our forces, approximately one and a half kilometers from Israel, and will be equipped with a "rapid evacuation route" in case the small force is attacked," - Israeli Channel 14.

Note, Morocco will become the first Muslim and Arab nation to station troops at an Israeli military base on Israeli soil.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡- "The Fake News, as usual, is spreading false and completely unfounded rumors. I am extremely happy with the job that Pete Hegseth is doing. Everything has been extraordinary, including our attack on Venezuela, where the result was accomplished in less than one day, allowing us to bring one of the worst criminals anywhere in the World, Nicolas Maduro, to Justice! Likewise, Iran, where the country has been decimated for the purpose of NOT ALLOWING IT TO EVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON, is going very well! Pete is highly respected within the Military, and has made tremendous improvements, including getting rid of DEI, and increasing recruitment to historic levels. This rumor was started by The Washington ComPost, one of the worst Media Outlets in the business, despite our telling them their story is completely FALSE. In actuality, I really believe their fake “reporting” is treasonous!" - President Trump on Truth Social.

🇮🇱⚡- Senior Likud figures Yuli Edelstein and Gilad Erdan have announced their departure from the party, arguing that Likud "no longer represents its voters" and stating that they "will not participate in any narrow [minor] coalition government." Edelstein announces he will create a new right-wing party for the upcoming elections.

Note, Edelstein was one of the most prominent proponents of extending military conscription to the ultra-Orthodox community, a stance that fractured the then Likud-led coalition. The disputes drove a wedge between Netanyahu and several of his ultra-Orthodox allies, contributing to the collapse of the bloc, some of which, such as Avigdor Lieberman, have become staunch anti-Netanyahu figures, who has since labelled the Likud government "pro-Shia."

After causing the initial rift within the right-wing bloc, Edelstein jumps off the sinking Likud ship.
