🇸🇦🇾🇪 The Houthis struck another large storage tank at Saudi Aramco’s Jazan Bulk Plant in southern KSA between August 12 and 15. The tank appears to be surrounded by burn marks and has a puncture, likely caused by a direct impact from a one-way attack (OWA) drone.

🇸🇦🇾🇪 At least nine oil storage tanks and one Horton sphere tank have been taken out, either destroyed or damaged, in Houthi attacks on the Jazan Oil Refinery. If the attacks continue at this pace, the facility could lose its entire storage capacity, forcing a complete shutdown.

🇪🇬🇮🇷🇺🇸 The U.S. Treasury plans to restrict the UAE branch of Banque Misr, a state-owned Egyptian bank, and cut off its access to the U.S. financial system for doing business with Tehran. Treasury identified Banque Misr UAE as a key channel for Iran’s access to U.S. dollars, estimating that it processed roughly $1.8 billion for 103 suspected Iranian shadow-banking companies between January 2024 and June 2026.

RT by @EGYOSINT: Importantly, the U.S. proposal applies only to Banque Misr’s UAE branch. The bank’s branches and operations in Egypt and all other countries are explicitly excluded.
