⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷 – A few hours ago, Trump recognized he has still not won the war in Iran, claimed oil prices "will drop precipitously", and said it will "all happen quickly".

#BREAKING
⚡️🇮🇱🇵🇸🇦🇪 – Emirati President Mohammed bin Zayed (MBZ) warned Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu of Hamas' plans to attack Israel over a week and a half before the October 7 attack, Haaretz has revealed.

MBZ held a phone call with Netanyahu warning him that the late Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was planning to escalate, fearing a war with destabilizing consequences for the entire region could ensue. Three sources confirmed the details of the call.

While MBZ urged de-escalation in the West Bank and economic reforms for Gaza, Netanyahu said Israel was "prepared for any scenario" and assessed Hamas planned to operate mainly in the West Bank.

Surprisingly, no heads of defense were briefed on the warning: Neither the head of the Shin Bet, of Mossad, or the IDF Chief of Staff were informed of the call.

🇾🇪❌🇸🇦🚨 - Alerts issued in Najran, Saudi Arabia.

@GeoPWatch

🇾🇪❌🇸🇦 – As of less than an hour ago, the fire north of Ahba continues to rage. It appears to be somewhat under control, as the Fire Radiative Power (FRP) was sharply decreased from its high of over 1,000 FRP.

The fire has been active for around 18 hours now.

⚡️🇮🇷🇮🇷❌🇺🇸 – The IRGC has published a first look at the captured U.S. UUV, identified as Anduril's advanced 'Dive LD'.

The drone appears to be in perfect condition, probably allowing Iranian scientists to reverse-engineer some of the technologies on board.

@GeoPWatch

⚡️🇮🇷🇮🇷❌🇺🇸 – According to Anduril's own website, the Large Diameter Autonomous Undersea Vehicle (LD-AUV) is capable of performing IPOE, ISR, Mine Warfare and Precision Placement missions, which could give the IRGC a more solid control of the Strait of Hormuz.

It can also be used for pipeline and cable inspection, mineral detection, and environmental monitoring.

It's also posible that, eventually, a reverse-engineered version of the LD-AUV could make its way to the Houthis, giving the Iranian proxy control over the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

@GeoPWatch

⚡️🇮🇷🇮🇷❌🇺🇸 – The 'DIVE LD' has a claimed endurance of up to 10 days at sea, and at a maximum depth of 6,000 meters.

The IRGC would most likely find this drone useful for surveillance and patrols on the SoH, but also for sabotaging undersea cables. It's reportedly unable to deploy mines, but can contribute to mine-clearing operations.

🇮🇷❌🇺🇸 – Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammed Ghalibaf on the captured U.S. UUV:

Well, it seems the most modern U.S. intelligent UUV just had a 'Knock' on its door... from the IRGC Navy!

📝 It should be noted that the 'Dive-LD', although very advanced, is not the best UUV in the U.S. arsenal, with others such as the 'Remus 3000' or the 'Orca' XLUUV also contending for that honor.

@GeoPWatch

🇺🇸❌🇮🇷 – Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters claim the U.S. threatened to target another three Iranian oil tankers, and warned they'd retaliate strongly against U.S. bases and interests in the region.

@GeoPWatch

🇺🇸❌🇮🇷🚢 – Reports of an explosion off Kharg Island appear to be related to a U.S. strike on an Iranian tanker.

@GeoPWatch

🇺🇸❌🇮🇷🚢 – Not one, but two Iranian tankers appear to have been hit off Kharg Island, and a third one was struck in Jask, in line with the American threat.

An Iranian retaliation is to be expected in the next hours.
