— NOTE: SEPAND is by far the most secretive agency in Iran, as it is not obligated to share any info with the parliament or government auditors

In 2024, the Iranian parliament accepted the following articles:

Article 1: 'SEPAND' is established as an advanced weapons research agency, permitted to develop advanced weapons to match the weaponry of the enemy.

Article 2: 'SEPAND' will be an independent weapons research entity as a branch of the Armed Forces, under the Ministry of Defense, and it is exempt from following regulations on transactions reporting, financial or other audits.

Taizz is on its last legs. I expect things to go fast from here. Probably some kind of negotiated handover.

Ansarallah are ripping through Jabal Sabr (mountainous area) without much PLC resistance, despite it being their last major fortification before the city.

‘My theory of victory is simple: We win by defeating the enemy’

I don’t think it’s a very optimistic sign for NATO that they aren’t even considering the possibility of a strategic victory against Russia.

Destroyed PLC vehicles can be seen burning on the hills.

Heavy and very bloody clashes now taking place west of Taizz city, PLC forces have apparently managed to retake Al-Hamraa heights east of Al-Hanjar checkpoint.

Ansarallah is pushing through.

It’s a little bit difficult to report on the Taizz situation currently due to the total internet blackout, but we will do our best to keep you all updated.

@medmannews

Not an Iranian submunition for sure
