โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท โ€“ An article by the TIME magazine has revealed new details of the Trump administration, including the fact that Grok, X's AI chatbot, is partially responsible for convincing the President that kidnapping his Venezuelan counterpart, Nicolรกs Maduro, would cement his legacy.

The TIME article also revealed that Trump wasn't directly informed of the U.S. munitions stockpiles issues by senior officials, but instead learned about it from a New York Times article and confronted Pete Hegseth, who convinced the President it was all "fake news".

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโŒ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท - 2 U.S. Officials to Axios have stated that additional Patriot Air Defense Batteries have been deployed to Saudi Arabia and Qatar to protect oil and gas facilities in both countries. This is to reportedly reassure both nations ahead of potential renewed U.S. strikes on Iran. CENTCOM reportedly refused to comment on this information.

๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿ‡ชโŒ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆ โ€“ Footage has emerged of alleged Houthi strikes in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for the second consecutive day, and likely as retaliation for yesterday's Saudi bombing of Sana'a.

At least one large plume of smoke was spotted over the city, but the Houthis have claimed no attack so far.

๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿ‡ชโŒ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆ โ€“ NASA's FIRMS confirms at least three fire hotspots in Riyadh were spotted by satellite sensors around four hours ago.

The fires, with a relatively low Fire Radiative Power (FRP) but high brightness suggests a very small, intense fire that is not spreading.

The fire can be geolocated to the al-Faisaliyah area of Riyadh, where there are large industrial parking lots for machinery, which could explain the concentrated but intense fire.

๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿ‡ชโŒ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆโ“ โ€“ It should be highlighted there is still no hard evidence that the fires are related to a Houthi strike, and could be related to a separate incident.

However, the fact that there are multiple, separate hotspots, could suggest some sort of coordinated hostile action.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿ‡ช โ€“ The Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said Iran has suggested 'engaging' Ansarullah (the Houthis) politically following strikes against Saudi Arabia, an idea that will be discussed during emergency talks in Riyadh next week, Reuters reports.

Dar said Iran has distanced itself from its Yemeni and Iraqi proxies, and that top decision makers like Pezeshkian and Araqchi "want the matter concluded."

Iran has made no solid commitment to engage the Houthis diplomatically, and Dar said it's so far only "brainstorming between two foreign ministers", suggesting Araqchi is deeply involved in the negotiations.

๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿ‡ชโŒ๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿ‡ช โ€“ Saudi Arabia and the Yemeni PLC are preparing a large-scale offensive against Ansarullah, which could include a push for the Red Sea coast or a broader, multi-front offensive.

The operation is likely to kick off "in the coming weeks", and will involve Saudi air support but not forces on the ground. Sources said the operation could begin as late as after the U.S. midterm elections.

The U.S. is expected to keep providing intelligence for offensive and defensive operations, while European partners have ramped up defensive support for Riyadh.

The PLC is expected to moblizie up to 100,000 troops for the offensive, and Riyadh has reportedly concluded it cannot enter new negotiations with the Houthis while they control de Bab al-Mandab Strait.

Pakistan has sent around 40,000 troops to Saudi Arabia, some of them after the renewal of tensions between Riyadh and Sana'a, and Pakistani material support, including multiple types of military equipment, reached the PLC in at least four cargo planes.

๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿ‡ชโšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆ- Over the last 24 hours, the front has become extremely fluid with fighting becoming especially intense around the town of Bani Umar as Ansarullah continues to attempt to cut key supply routes near the Al Samsara junction.

โžก๏ธ Despite numerous claims that Ansarullah entered As Safiyah and cut off the important Al Turbah road, newly released footage emerged of a reporter interviewing PLC forces in the center of the As Safiyah junction.

โžก๏ธ On the other hand further south Ansarullah forces were geolocated in the village of Ad Darahim northeast of Bani Umar, there are also reports of Ansarullah capturing Al Qasfah at Tawil and surrounding areas, although they remain unconfirmed and premature.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ โ€“ The Omani pilot that tried to hijack a Flydubai aircraft earlier this week is cooperating with local authorities, and has been officially identified as 29-year-old Hamam al-Hammami.

Al-Hammami's plan was to crash the plane in Israeli territory, according to the investigation's results so far, and had already been flagged for radical views and grounded by Omani authorities. It remains unclear if Flydubai was aware of the risks when he was hired and assigned to the route to Israel.

London is also investigating a link between the men and a "third party", alleged to be Iran.
