๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡บโŒ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ- According to classified intelligence shared with Axios, Cuba has acquired more than 300 drones and has begun internally discussing plans to potentially use them against the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay, American naval vessels, and possibly Key West, Florida.

โžก๏ธ Since 2023, the variously capable drones have been purchased from Iran and Russia and are kept in key locations throughout the island. Cuban officials have asked Russia for more drones and military hardware in the last month.

โžก๏ธ U.S. officials also note the presence of Iranian military advisers in Havana, as well as Russian and Chinese signals intelligence facilities on the island.

โžก๏ธ Up to 5,000 Cuban soldiers are estimated to have fought for Russia in Ukraine, with Russia paying approximately $25,000 per soldier deployed. Some of those soldiers are believed to have briefed Cuban military leaders on the effectiveness of drone warfare.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ- Israeli Army Radio (Galei Zahal) reports that the IDF has given data to political leadership indicating a shortage of approximately 8,000 soldiers relative to its current needs.

โžก๏ธ Should a law extending mandatory service to three years fail to pass, that deficit would rise to around 12,000 soldiers and would increase significantly over time.

โžก๏ธ The military has warned that if immediate conscription reforms are not implemented, reserve forces could "collapse" and manpower shortages would worsen.

Forwarded from TankerTrackers.com Inc.,
In recent days, three cargo-empty, USโ€‘sanctioned tankers slipped through the US Navy blockade line and entered the perimeter.

- One did so with AIS briefly offline.
- Another flies the Russian flag.
- A third hugged the Omani coastline.

Together, they can lift 1.9 million barrels of Iranian oil. Such incidents only buy Tehran more time at the negotiating table while the world awaits additional energy and fertilizers from the region.

๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท โ€” Anwar Mohammed Gargash, senior diplomatic adviser to UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed on the drone strike targeting the Barakah nuclear power plant:
The terrorist targeting of the Barakah clean nuclear energy plant, whether carried out by the principal perpetrator or through one of its proxies, represents a dangerous escalation and a dark development that violates all international laws and norms, showing criminal disregard for the lives of civilians in the UAE and surrounding areas. This prohibited escalation once again confirms the nature of the challenges facing the region in confronting the forces of evil, chaos, and destruction.

No one will bend the arm of the UAE, nor will anyone succeed in undermining its vision, success, and inspiring message to the peoples of the region in security, stability, development, and prosperity.

The language "principle perpretrator or through one of its proxies" implies accusing Iran or the broader Axis of Resistance of being responsible for the drone strike, though the statement avoids a direct accusation.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโŒ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท- According to Axios, Donald Trump warned in a phone call that "the clock is ticking" for Iran, threatening that if a better deal is not forthcoming, Iran will be struck "much harder."

โžก๏ธTrump is expected to convene a Situation Room meeting with his senior national security team on Tuesday to discuss military action options, according to two US officials.

โžก๏ธ While Trump has expressed a preference for a negotiated end to the war, Iran's rejection of key demands and its refusal to make meaningful concessions on its nuclear program have put the military option firmly back on the table.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑโŒ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท- According to an Israeli source cited by Kan News, Israel and the US are on high alert for a possible resumption of strikes against Iran, with any renewed military action expected to be conducted jointly by both militaries.

โžก๏ธ Israel is particularly focused on targeting Iranian national energy infrastructure, with the belief that doing so would push Iran toward a softer negotiating position, though some experts doubt this would lead to meaningful concessions on Iran's core demands.

โžก๏ธ Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu spoke by phone for more than half an hour today, during which the possibility of resuming hostilities was discussed.

โžก๏ธ Israeli officials have made clear that any resumption of fighting ultimately depends on Trump's decision.
