—❗️🇸🇦/🇾🇪 UPDATE: The Saudi airstrikes targeted Saudi equipment and weapons storage facilities in Dhubab to prevent them from falling into Ansarallah’s hands

Wow, you don’t say?

— 🇮🇷/🇾🇪/🇸🇦 NEW: Ansarallah’s rapid advance along Yemen’s western coast was planned by IRGC Quds force officers and carried out at Iran’s advice, according to Reuters

Iran provided intelligence, equipment, and direct guidance for the Houthis, urging them to seize the key port of Mocha and promising additional funding and arms.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇧🇭 U.S. Navy Secretary Hung Cao in an interview:

‘The Iranians blew the hell out of Bahrain. There is no place for the U.S. Navy to dock. We have a task force looking at whether to abandon the facility [NSA Bahrain].’

A small situational update:

The status of Dhubab and Mayun Island are still contested.

Ansarallah are present, but they have not yet cleared out the enemy.

—❗️🇮🇷/🇺🇳 Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council:

‘The anti-Iran resolution adopted by the Board of Governors is illegal, technically unfounded, entirely political, and unacceptable, bearing the clear imprint of U.S. and Zionist pressure.

The IAEA’s politicized & disruptive actions will push countries toward withdrawing from the NPT.’

@Middle_East_Spectator

—❗️🇺🇸/🇸🇦/🇮🇷/🇾🇪 NEW: About 100–200 U.S. military advisers are now on the ground in Saudi Arabia providing real-time intelligence and targeting support against the Houthis, according to CNN

A joint forces command was set up in recent weeks after Iran ramped up support for Ansarallah, including deploying hundreds of IRGC officers to Yemen to coordinate the military campaign against Mocha.

The U.S. is sharing a Maven-like targeting tool and geospatial support but is not directly participating in strikes or refueling Saudi jets.

Eyes on Marib the next few days.

Local tribes have approached Ansarallah & expressed willingness to stage an offensive against the PLC.
