—❗️🇸🇦/🇾🇪 NEW: A few hours ago, Saudi Arabia announced the suspension of educational activities in Abha, Khamis Mushait, and many other areas throughout the country
The stated reason is ‘due to a chance of rain’. Note that there is a zero (0%) chance of rain in Saudi Arabia over the next 24 hours, and the areas happen to correspond with those currently under missile attack.

🇮🇱⚡️ — Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu:
We will revoke the citizenship of those who defame IDF soldiers, and we will hit them financially.
The time has come to deal with this.

Oh boy the like 0.5% of Israelis who have a sliver of conscious better watch out.
—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Brig. Gen. Mohsen Rezaee:
‘Don’t get distracted by the U.S. president’s mixed signals—from “no negotiations” to “we’re ready to talk.”
The stakes around oil and the straits have changed. Damage control won’t stop what’s coming.
No talks until Iran’s conditions are met. Period!’

❗️Oil jumps above $108 as Yemen strikes Saudi airbase, Hormuz talks collapse
Brent crude climbed above $108 a barrel and WTI topped $103 after Gulf states postponed planned talks with Iran on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, while Yemeni forces launched a large-scale missile and drone attack on Saudi Arabia’s King Khalid Airbase in Khamis Mushait, saying it was retaliation for more than 300 Saudi airstrikes on Yemen over five days.
The market reaction was compounded by the continued shutdown of Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline, with Reuters reporting the outage could threaten up to 4% of global oil supply if prolonged and that Yanbu’s export stocks may last only five to seven days. The disruption, alongside Yemeni control of key positions around the Bab al-Mandab Strait, has heightened fears over the security of two of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints, driving fresh gains in oil prices and raising concerns over global fuel supplies.
We can go higher
— 🇮🇷/🇺🇸/🇷🇺/🇺🇦 NEW: Contrary to President Trump’s claims to the media, it is not Ukrainian strikes against Russian energy facilities that have increased diesel fuel prices
In reality, diesel prices in the U.S. started skyrocketing after the illegal American-Israeli war of aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

❗️US nurses demand hospitals cut ties with Palantir over role in Gaza genocide and ICE
Expand
National Nurses United, the largest union of registered nurses in the US, is demanding that hospitals cut ties with Palantir, citing the company’s role in immigrant surveillance and its alleged involvement in Israel’s genocide in Gaza, Truthout reported.
The union, which represents more than 225,000 nurses across all 50 states, announced a global week of action against Palantir beginning 28 September.
NNU is calling on hospitals and other public institutions to end contracts and partnerships with the company and divest from it, accusing Palantir of developing technology used for mass surveillance and targeting civilians in Gaza.
The campaign follows demonstrations in eight US cities on 27 August. Nurses have accused Palantir of helping ICE identify and detain immigrants while also providing technology used by Israel.
“Palantir’s AI is enabling atrocities and human rights abuses,” NNU nurse Elizabeth Lalasz said, accusing the company of providing technology for “Israel’s US-funded genocide in Gaza.”
🇷🇺🇨🇳🇮🇷🔫🇺🇳🎪Russia & China veto extension of UNSC Iran sanctions “Panel of Experts”
Russia and China vetoed a US-drafted UNSC resolution that would have extended the mandate of the Panel of Experts supporting the resolution 1737 Iran Sanctions Committee until September 2027.
Vote: 11 in favor (Epstinite Imperium + vassals), 2 against (Russia, China), 2 abstentions (Pakistan, reportedly Somalia).
Russian envoy Vasily Nebenzya called the draft “deeply flawed” with no legal basis, reiterating that Resolution 2231 expired October 18, 2025, and that the Iranian nuclear file is off the Council’s agenda.
Epsteinite regime UNSC members (US, UK, France) insist that the sanctions regime was legally restored via the E3 “snapback” in September 2025.
What does this mean: the Panel’s mandate expires Sept 26/27 — the Epsteinites have roughly ten days to find an alternative monitoring arrangement or lose “independent” oversight of Iran sanctions, leaving the IAEA as the sole body still reporting on the nuclear file.
🇮🇷Ghalibaf’s response:
“The unipolar order in which one side extracts concessions through force and coercion has ended. China and Russia’s vetoes rejected the political abuse of the Security Council and reaffirmed the rule of law. We must defend multilateralism; unilateralism serves no one’s interests.”
🐻The “Rules based order” is, at least symbolically, giving room to International law. The Imperium will not take this well, tantrums expected.

❗️AWS unable to restore Bahrain, UAE cloud facilities damaged in war on Iran
Expand
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is unable to restore access to its cloud-computing facility in Bahrain and one of three data-hosting zones in the United Arab Emirates after they were damaged during the US-Israeli war on Iran, according to a status update seen by Reuters on Tuesday.
AWS, Amazon’s cloud-computing division, said the damage in Bahrain affected multiple availability zones, which consist of clusters of one or more data centers within the same geographic region.
“The damage to our infrastructure spanned multiple Availability Zones and exceeded what our regional and multi-AZ services are designed to withstand,” an AWS status update seen by Reuters said. AWS added that it was helping customers in Bahrain resume operations through other regions.

Ahhh, so nothing burger it is. Guess the pressure valve theory was too optimistic. I wish I could say I was disappointed, but it was to be expected.
Of course it was gonna be a nothing burger but it isn’t even working as a pressure release.
I’ll expect some non-nothing burger from the Brits when the US Air Force is booted out of RAF air bases on their own soil. Anything short of that means the UK is still a vassal state of the US.
❗️The US Department of Defense Inspector General report reveals that hundreds of buildings and other structures at US military bases were destroyed by Iranian attacks including in Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain, and Iraq.
