— 🇮🇷/🇦🇪 NEW: Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian met with UAE Crown Prince, Khaled bin Mohammad bin Zayed, at the sidelines of the BRICS summit

(It’s not actually ‘Crown Prince’ but he’s the son of MBZ and will succeed him as President)

— 🇾🇪/🇸🇦 NEW: After last night’s clashes on the outskirts of Marib, the lines of control remain unchanged

The city is very heavily defended, especially from the west and south, and would require a wide-scale offensive to capture.

It seems that yesterday’s operations were limited in nature and Ansarallah is currently more focused on Taizz.

— People don’t realize this but the Houthis permanently shut down Israel’s only Red Sea port

The Port of Eilat NO LONGER EXISTS because of Yemen. It has ceased operations permanently.

The Wikipedia article even uses the word ‘was’ when referring to it.

— 🇸🇦/🇾🇪 Marib situation update:

In the past 24 hours, Ansarallah (Houthi) forces have positioned themselves on the southern and western highlands surrounding Marib, making limited progress but taking up strategic positions.

Overall, the frontline situation has not changed much, but Ansarallah is bringing additional equipment and forces into the area to prepare for a possible offensive in the near future.

At the same time, morale among Saudi-backed PLC fighters stationed in the city is low, and there are rumors that local tribal leaders are already negotiating with Ansarallah.

Dear Scottish and Irish people,

If you need any help, we have a very good Foreign Minister that knows all about memorandums!

We would be more than happy for you to borrow him, and take as long as you need with the drafting process.

Important update in a few minutes.

—❗️🇸🇦/🇾🇪 NEW: Ansarallah (the Houthis) have made a breakthrough south west of Taizz

They have entered the Bani Umar valley, and captured Al-Ahraz and Al-Ajram villages.

If the push continues, the Houthis will reach the critical Al-Safiya intersection, cutting off the last remaining road to Taizz city.

‘Reinforcements must be urgently sent to Al-Ajram, because their numbers are very few and they cannot move with vehicles due to the rugged terrain; their movement is only on motorcycles and on foot’.
