— ❗️🇰🇷 BREAKING: The President of South Korea, Yoon Suk Yeol, has declared martial law, putting himself and the military in charge

Both the ruling party and the opposition have condemned the declaration, and have vowed to block it in parliament.

The President says martial law is necessary in order to combat anti-state actors within South Korea, and to defend against the increasing threat from North Korea.

— 🇮🇷 NOTE: If Iran does intend to send troops to Syria, it will probably deploy the 65th Airborne Special Forces Brigade (NOHED) – the 'tip of the spear' of the Iranian Armed Forces in extraterritorial missions

The NOHED brigade is considered to be one of Iran's most elite regular army units, consisting of approximately 5,000 soldiers, and was previously deployed to Syria in 2016, where it fought against Al-Nusrah (now HTS) terrorists.
