๐ต๐ฐ๐น๐ทโ๏ธ๐ฎ๐ท The leading regional US Epsteinist pedophiles' lackeys, have restricted movements of Iranian goods and trade into Iran.
Pakistan and Turkey, butt-hurting from their cash cow, Saudi Arabia's abject defeat in Yemen, are asking Iran to "order Ansarallah" to cease its actions.
Iran maybe a leading Resistance player, but it can't "order" Ansarullah around, anymore than it can oblige the Iraqi or the Lebanese Resistance.
The Resistance only moves when there's consensus on shared interests.
Ansarullah will tell Iran to take a hike should Iran attempt to interfere in Yemeni affairs right now.
In any case millions of litres of cheap Iranian fuel is smuggled through the border into Pakistan every year, making the generals massive profits.
Guess who's going to fold first.

๐พ๐ชโ๏ธ๐บ๐ธ Satellite imagery shows extensive fire damage at pumping stations near Al Mesba'ah and Al Dhekra, along Saudi Arabia's East-West oil pipeline.
The Saudi oil exports are now practically slashed to around the 3 million bpd mark.
A disaster of the archaic kingdom's own making.

It will not matter at all now even if Iran's FM Araghchi wears a Borat-style "mankini" to go for talks in Switzerland.
Six million barrels more of oil per day have been taken off the market.
Brent crude will stay at around $105 until the damage assessment teams have returned their report.
Six separate key locations along the East-West pipeline were targeted.

๐ฎ๐ทโ๏ธ๐บ๐ธ Low-resolution Sentinel satellite imagery reveals possible impact sites at various locations within Jordanโs Muwaffaq Salti Air Base following Iranโs retaliatory missile strikes.
The marks are located in the vicinity of the runway, aircraft hangars, and newly constructed facilities.
We wonder what has happened to the Iranian high-res imagery?

According to Al-Monitor, the four-digit call sign of the C-17 aircraft heading to Riyadh may indicate the arrival of a high-ranking American official in Saudi Arabia.

๐พ๐ชโ๏ธ๐ธ๐ฆ Gunfire is being heard from the northern outskirts of the city of Marib.
Reports indicate that Saudi-backed forces are clearing out the treasury of the city's central Bank in preparation for an imminent military operation against the city by the Ansarullah government forces.
This move is unprecedented over the 11-year conflict and may herald the liberation of the city.
The Yemeni public is also dissenting against the PLC, in most areas under the Saudi proxy regime.

๐พ๐ชโ๏ธ๐ธ๐ฆ The most significant spoils captured by Yemeni forces on the West Coast include advanced surveillance systems and naval radars.
Among these systems is the French Thales CoastWatcher 100, capable of monitoring and analyzing vessel movements at ranges exceeding 150 nautical miles.
Other captured equipment includes Hensoldt Spexer/SharpEye radars -capable of detecting small maritime targets- the Israeli ELM-2226 ACSR coastal radar, as well as submerged sensors and long-range thermal cameras.

๐พ๐ชโ๏ธ๐ธ๐ฆ Unconfirmed reports state that the Ansarallah government forces have begun their assault to liberate Marib.
The problem with Marib is that it's situated on a flat plain. Any attacking force will be dangerously exposed.
Speed is the key to success.
But given the total state of chaos and disarray being reported among PLC ranks, Ansarallah might just pull it off this time.

๐ฎ๐ถโ๏ธ๐ธ๐ฆ The Iraqi Resistance is being blamed for the attack that has shut down Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline.
It's believed in some informed circles that the AbqaiqโKhurais missile and drone strikes in September 2019, were also carried out by the Iraqi Resistance.
However, if the Al-Zaidi administration believes that this will give it greater leverage in disarming the Resistance, it will be gravely mistaken.
It's the kind of mistake that might very well see the back of the Zaidi administration and the US financial grip on the country.

๐ฎ๐ถโ๏ธ๐ธ๐ฆ Intense clashes are underway across the entire Marib front in central Yemen, with Ansarullah forces maintaining a continuous offensive posture.
The Ansarullah government forces are attempting to push past the Al-Balaq heights โan area where the situation currently remains unclearโ and advance toward the Great Marib Dam.
Further south, Ansarullah forces are launching repeated assaults from the town of Yara against the PLCโs defensive lines at Balaq al-Gharbi, some claim in an effort to break through.
However, it's more likely that Ansarallah is conducting what's known in military jargon as a series of "aggressive probing actions", to locate the weaknesses in the enemy lines.
