❗️🇺🇸 - The Trump administration renews the fight against birthright citizenship with two new executive orders.

The two executive orders on Thursday aimed at limiting the number of people who are eligible for birthright citizenship and cracking down on “birth tourism,” in which women give birth in the United States to get automatic citizenship for their newborns.

The measure came after the Supreme Court struck down Mr. Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship for children born of illegal immigrants in a 6-3 decision.

⚡️🇮🇶 – The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced it postponed "the response that was scheduled for today", likely referring to retaliation strikes against U.S. and Saudi assets in the region.

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
(And do not weaken, nor be sorrowful, and you are the ones to triumph, if you are believers.)

In response to the call of the martyr, the mujahid (Abu Hassan Al-Amari), and in appreciation of the honorable stances taken by some righteous political leaders, it has been decided to postpone the response that was scheduled for today, the 23rd of the month of Safar.

We reaffirm that the pure blood of the martyrs will never be a commodity in the market of political calculations. We call upon those who sit in their chairs, violating blood and sovereignty, to reconsider their actions and return to the right path.

Let the American enemy and its allies in the region know that the blood of our martyrs and wounded is the fuel of our steadfastness. Sovereignty will not be restored through timid statements, but through the hands of the loyal who do not compromise on the sanctity of the land or the honor of the martyrs.

🇸🇦❗️ – Saudi Arabia had only 400 PAC-3 'Patriot' missiles left over after less than two months of war against Iran, down 86% from the 2,800 it had before, according to Reuters.

▶️ The reserves may have been depleted even further since then, due to limited exchanges with Iran-backed militias in Yemen and Iraq.
