Two

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท โ€“ The Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi, said the U.S. should return to its commitments and abide by the Memorandum of Understanding, as cited by Mehr News.

The Iranian news outlet quoted the Foreign Minister:
We stressed that the Iranian nation will continue to stand for its rights, and this was emphasised in all the meetings.

The United States must return to its commitments and abide by the provisions of the memorandum of understanding. After that, we can move out of this situation, because all countries are concerned that the war should end as soon as possible.

We explained that the solution is completely clear and specific: America must return to its commitments and to the very agreement its president signed. In that case, everything can be put on the right track.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ด โ€“ Kan News reports the Somalilander President, Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi, is expected to visit the United States in an effort to gain U.S. recognition for Somaliland.

He will visit both D.C. and New York to meet with members of Congress and, perhaps, even President Trump.

The report also says Israel "may" be trying to help Somaliland in its quest, but this could prove difficult since most regional powers, including Turkey, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, side with Somalia. Only Israel and the UAE have sided with Somaliland, and only the former has officially recognized it.

The agreement for NABEP to operate the fields will also give the US government sweeping control over the company. The U.S. government will have holding rights to a 35% stake in the company and veto power at the board. Washington will also have "preferential access" โ to 20% of the companyโ€™s production at cost and first refusal right for the remaining 80% of the output.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโšก๏ธ โ€” During a White House meeting last week, Secretary of the U.S. Army Dan Driscoll spoke directly to President Trump about his concerns of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's firing of several senior U.S. Army officials, four sources familiar with the discussion informed The Atlantic.

Driscoll told Trump that the U.S. Army could not adapt due to the departure of several of its leading officials, and Trump was surprised when Driscoll informed him how many senior officials had been fired and expressed similar concerns about the numerous departures of U.S. Army senior officials.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธโŒ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ - At near 10:20 AM local time in Gaza, an IDF-backed Anti-Hamas Palestinian syndicate force infiltrated northern Gaza's west Gaza city near the American Hospital on motorcycles and a convoy of vans in an attempt to neutralize or capture a member of Gaza's Internal Security Service.

The infiltrating members, at least 10, dismounted their vehicles and opened fire on site, who were then engaged by Palestinian security forces in the area, resulting in causalities amongst the syndicate. The IDF then interfered and struck the area with artillery and surrounding vehicles with at least 16 drone strikes, aiding the syndicate in evacuating the KIA and withdrawing. The IDF support fire resulted in the deaths of 3 Palestinians, of whom 2 are children and a woman, alongside 8 injuries.

Ismail AlThawabta Director-General of Gaza's Government Media Office has confirmed that the infiltrating syndicate suffered deaths as a result of the engagement. Reports suggest the intended target survived the assassination/kidnapping attempt.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ’ฃ โ€“ The Iranian launchers struck yesterday in Larak Island were equipped with rare mine-deploying rockets, according to The War Zone, a capability that could give Iran the ability of more easily shutting down the Strait at the worst possible time.

It is not known whether U.S. CENTCOM had already seen Iran use this capability, or just how much Iranian forces have adopted it, but it is known that the missile systems are likely a variant of the Fajr-5 equipped with a mine warhead.

The Center for International and Maritime Security put it best in a report made last year:
While the Fajr-5โ€™s estimated payload capacity is light compared to U.S. or Chinese naval mines, the mines the rockets could deliver are still heavier than diver-delivered limpet mines and could conceivably disable a ship if struck by enough mines from the field.

Most importantly, this field could be delivered rapidly and with little warning. Even though the explosive capacity of this mine individually is small, the psychological impact from inflicting minor damage on a small number of merchants could still be enough to force shipping companies to avoid the area.
