🇱🇧Lebanese television channel Al-Mayadeen reported that the US had notified the Kurdistan Region authorities of the need to participate in the war against Iran, otherwise the current Kurdish autonomy structure in northern Iraq would be dismantled.

In response to this demand, Iran warned the Kurdistan Region authorities that any actions or actions against the country would entail serious consequences, and that they should also consider the consequences of supporting Iranian Kurdish factions. Tehran also warned that any attack on Iranian territory in the Kurdistan Region would be met with a direct response, which could even include a ground operation.

—❗️🇸🇦/🇮🇶 BREAKING: Saudi Arabia’s MoD confirms that the Islamic Resistance in Iraq targeted the Abqaiq Refinery in Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest oil processing & crude stabilization plant

—❗️🇸🇦/🇾🇪 EXCLUSIVE: Images show a fire burning at fuel depots in Jazan, Saudi Arabia

Middle East Spectator has located the fire to Aramco fuel tanks at King Fahd Road, coordinates 16.8740846, 42.5615230 in the city of Jazan.

The footage was recorded right in front of the Autozone Jizan, coordinates 16.8841879, 42.5803417 on the map.

This is not the refinery that was targeted 48 hours ago. Therefore, this is likely a separate location that was targeted, and Saudi Arabia imposed censorship on this incident.

—❗️🇸🇦/🇾🇪 NEW: Satellite imagery released today confirms the impact at Aramco storage tanks in Jizan

It happened 2 days ago, when Yemeni drones also targeted the actual Aramco refinery north of Jizan, located much further away.

This impact had been heavily censored until now.
