🇺🇸 NEW: The F-15E Weapons System Officer that conducted an interview with CBS 60 minutes has been identified as Colonel Jonathan Bott, known by the callsign ‘Vapor’

American media decided to give him the fake callsign ‘Bravo’ but stupidly forgot to cover his face, which made his identity easy to trace.

🇮🇷/🇺🇸/🇷🇺/🇺🇦 NEW: Contrary to President Trump’s claims to the media, it is not Ukrainian strikes against Russian energy facilities that have increased diesel fuel prices

In reality, diesel prices in the U.S. started skyrocketing after the illegal American-Israeli war of aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

🇾🇪 Muhammad Al-Bukhaiti, a member of Ansarallah’s political bureau:

‘The South [of Yemen] has its own people, and they are most deserving to govern it. Saudi Arabia should remove its hand from them.’

This confirms that Ansarallah is not looking to capture Aden by force, but rather to establish good ties with an independent southern Yemeni state.

🇳🇱 NEW: In the Netherlands, widespread acts of sabotage took place against the railway network today, according to national broadcaster NOS

At more than 30 locations throughout the country, materials like metal pipes and tubes were placed on the railway tracks.

Some media point towards possible Russian sabotage. However, it is more likely the acts of sabotage were committed by farmers protesting against the government.

🇳🇱 NOTE: Farmers also placed burning piles of horse shit and stacks of hay along major highways

This coincided with the railway sabotage actions, making it more likely they were done by farmers.

❗️🇾🇪 NEW: There is a sudden wave of reports that Ansarallah have placed mines in the Bab Al-Mandab waterway

It should be noted that this news is completely false. It was was first claimed at the UN Security Council by the ‘legitimate’ Saudi-backed Yemeni government about an hour ago, in an effort to increase international support for fighting against the Houthis.

Ansarallah have explicitly stated multiple times in recent days that maritime traffic in Bab Al-Mandab and the Red Sea will continue as normal, with the exception of Saudi shipping.
