— 🇸🇦/🇾🇪 NEW: The ARAMCO refinery at Jizan, Saudi Arabia, is still burning more than 48 hours after it was struck by Yemeni missiles
The fires are so extensive that the entire facility may be out of operation for several years. The smoke trail can be seen from space.

Usually I don’t post about the clown emperor’s mad ramblings, but this felt somewhat more important than usual.
🇹🇷 Turkey suffered a hat trick of humiliation today.
- Strait of Hormuz: Turkish oil tanker damaged
A Turkish-operated oil tanker was damaged after striking what Iranian media described as a sea mine in the Strait of Hormuz. Reports indicate the vessel deviated from the transit route designated by Iranian authorities before the incident. An explosion and fire occurred, but the crew survived.
- Yemen: Bayraktar Akıncı shot down
Ansarallah shot down a Turkish-made Bayraktar Akıncı drone that they said was being operated by Saudi Arabia over Al Jawf Province. Yemeni military spokesman Yahya Saree stated the drone was conducting reconnaissance missions when it was intercepted.
- Black Sea: Turkish-owned cargo ship sunk
A Turkish-owned bulk carrier, Golden Leo, sailing under the Guinea-Bissau flag, was struck while departing Odesa. Ukrainian authorities say the ship was hit by Russian missiles, causing it to sink and resulting in multiple fatalities among the crew. Russia has not publicly acknowledged responsibility.
Ottoman century of humiliation is extended indefinitely, and that’s all folks.

🇺🇦Ukrainian military media:
If Iran launches a military response against Ukraine, the Ukrainian army will carry out long-range drone strikes on Iranian cities.

The Syrian People’s Assembly opened its second session of the current legislative term under Parliament President Abdul Hamid al-Awwak to discuss a draft of the assembly’s internal regulations.
The agenda includes reviewing absences, previous session records, and reports from the assembly’s office and a temporary committee preparing the draft rules. According to a Levant24 correspondent, the session is expected to last three days.
Interesting stats brought from ABC Australia.
Especially for the interceptors.
Remember this war was never a sprint (NATO approach). It is a death march.
The american empire will follow the rest of previous empires who died in the region.
Welcome to the graveyard of superpowers

Netanyahu, Katz vow to ‘broaden’ campaign of violence in occupied West Bank
A number of Palestinians were killed by settlers in the West Bank in recent days, as troops escalated arrest raids and violent incursions into villages
🇮🇱/🇸🇦/🇺🇸🔻 Netanyahu says:
“Saudi Arabia will receive a civilian nuclear program in exchange for normalizing relations with Israel.”

VIDEO | US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz acknowledged that US military stockpiles have been depleted, citing years of aid to Ukraine and sustained operations against Yemen’s Ansarallah under the Biden administration, but did not mention Israel, and denied that shortages forced Washington to pause its strikes on Iran.
Pressed on whether stockpiles had in fact been exhausted, Waltz insisted the US military has everything it needs to continue military operations, while calling for those responsible for leaking internal discussions to be jailed.
‘Golan Heights is Syrian territory, Israel must stop violations’: UN chief
In recent comments, Syrian interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa said he is working toward a security agreement with Israel that would not compromise Syria’s claim to the occupied Golan Heights, while ruling out any military intervention in Lebanon

It seems Jolani needs to pretend to care about the Golan Heights.
❗️A short while ago, three explosions caused by Israeli military demolitions were reported between the southern Lebanese towns of Kounine and Ainata, while Israeli artillery shelling also targeted the town of Shamaa.
🇬🇧According to the Financial Times, the prominent marine insurer Lloyd’s of London has informed its brokers that it will stop providing war-risk insurance for Saudi-linked cargoes following Ansarallah strikes on two Saudi oil tankers.
Some other insurance companies are considering cancelling existing insurance contracts. These restrictions apply to any vessel with a “link to Saudi Arabia,” including foreign ships that have previously called at Saudi ports.

⭕️ After roads were blocked with stones to hinder the movement of Israeli occupation forces, the Israeli military distributed warning leaflets to residents of the Yarmouk Basin in Syria’s Deraa province, ordering them to “immediately stop carrying out systematic acts of obstruction” against its forces, including blocking roads, and warning that it “will continue to act using all means available to defend the State of Israel and its residents.”
