Saddam discusses Iran with cabinet/1988

Houthi-led Yemeni Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

The Foreign Ministry of the Sana'a government stated that the statement by the Saudi Arabian Foreign Ministry makes it clear that the Saudi regime treats Yemen as if it were under its control.

If the regime were truly honest about this matter, it would declare that it has completely withdrawn from Yemen, as Yemen is an independent and sovereign country.

However, the Saudi regime treats it with arrogance and condescension, allowing ports in the country to receive ships carrying food and medicine only as a favor.

CNN: The Israelis believe Iran has transferred not only thousands of centrifuges to the Har Demun facility, but also a portion of its enriched uranium stockpile.

@Mena_Live

Various U.S. media outlets report that the primary reason the U.S. Military is not targeting major Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) ballistic missile and drone production and storage facilities is a shortage of air defense systems and logistical movement challenges, given Iran's demonstrated capability to strike air defense systems across the Middle East.

Houthi Yemeni Ministry of Defense:

"Six ships have been intercepted in the past 24 hours after the Yemeni armed forces issued warnings and imposed a maritime blockade on the Saudi enemy, as part of the 'blockade with a blockade' equation."

IRGC Central Command:

We announce that if the invading and terrorist army of that country attacks any nuclear facility, we will consider it an escalation of the conflict in the region, and all American interests, as well as the interests of its allies and supporters, will become targets of a powerful response from the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The Syrian Ministry of Finance announces it will soon issue its first sovereign sukuk, an Islamic financial certificate similar to a bond that raises money from investors, to cover its $1.8 billion budget deficit.

The goal is to fund government spending without printing money, which could increase inflation.

Kan Hebrew:

Tonight, we are reporting that Israel has been informed by the United States of its intention to escalate attacks in Iran and to carry out, in the coming days, for the first time in the current escalation, attacks within Iran using heavy bombers.

The security coordination between Israel and the United States is also intended to allow Israel to prepare for the possibility that the Iranians will decide to retaliate against the escalation from Iran by launching attacks towards Israel. Such a move would lead to a resumption of Israeli attacks in Iran.

Reuters: The United States is investigating whether Russia provided Iran with information about CIA command centers in the Middle East - after Iran attacked them.
