‘We have posession, we completely control the Strait of Hormuz. Except for some minor nuisances.

You know, they shoot a drone every once in a while. Not everybody is going to go through, but they come through.

Over the last few weeks, we’ve had a lot of oil coming in. It’s not going to be perfect, but it’s a lot of oil coming in. Actually, people are amazed.’

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 BREAKING: President Trump announces the start of ‘economic warfare’ against Iran

@Middle_East_Spectator

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 President Trump on Truth Social:

‘No one has given the Islamic Republic of Iran a greater opportunity to make a Deal than me. TRAGICALLY, for them, they have failed to take it. Therefore, today, I am announcing the MOST CRUSHING ECONOMIC OPERATION EVER TAKEN AGAINST ANY COUNTRY! This will be Economic Warfare and Isolation on an unprecedented scale.

Their navy is gone, their air force is destroyed, their military factories are now rubble, their currency is worthless, and their country is hanging by a thread.

Today, I am also announcing that ANY country that allows its financial institutions, businesses, airports, or government entities to provide any type of lifeline to Iran will itself face TREMENDOUS Economic Consequences. Oil smuggling, swap lines, cash transfers, exchange houses, ship registries, front companies — It all needs to stop NOW. You know who you are. This will be an ECONOMIC D-DAY, and we need all of our Allies to stand with the United States of America to isolate, and defeat, the Iran threat.

These maniacs are on the ropes, and these HISTORIC MEASURES will cripple them and their ability to project terror worldwide. IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!’

Congratulations dear friend, writing three books (even if they are short) is truly an achievement, something you rightfully deserve to be proud of.

Books are something lasting, they are under-appreciated by society. Books will always remain, people may still read these in 100-200 years. God bless you and increase your success.

— 🇸🇦/🇾🇪 WATCH: Yemen’s Armed Forces have released a 10-minute compilation of targeting Saudi-backed troops, vehicles, and tanks in Marib and along the Western coast

All of these operations were carried out by munitions dropped from quadcopter drones. The Yemenis are surprisingly very accurate.

The Yemenis have clearly received training of some kind; accurate hits from such altitudes are not easy.
