🇾🇪|Bay'ah: A tribal delegation from Najran has traveled to Yemen to pledge bay'ah, allegiance, to Sayyid Abdul Malik al Houthi. The nature of this event requires no characterization by Western newspapers. It is, in itself, a constitutional act. In tribal tradition, bay'ah is neither a statement of support nor an expression of sympathy. It is a transfer of sovereignty. When a tribe pledges allegiance to an individual, it acknowledges that person as its political authority, recognizing his protection as taking precedence over that of the existing ruler, and his commands as superseding those of the previous authority. Bay'ah is not a mere opinion. It is a binding contract. And the beneficiary of this contract is not the King of Saudi Arabia. Prior to the 1934 Treaty of Taif, the regions of Najran, Jizan, and Asir were not part of Saudi Arabia. They belonged to the Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen. The border was not the product of tribal consensus, but rather the result of military conquest, endorsed by British imperialism. For ninety years, Riyadh has managed this border through two primary methods: co-opting tribal elders with subsidies, and using security apparatuses to suppress the religious identities of the local population. Najran is home to a significant Ismaili community, while Asir and Jizan have substantial Zaydi populations. This has nothing to do with Iran. These are indigenous, native identities, identities that the Saudi state has never truly trusted. When a tribe pledges allegiance to Sanaa, it is not turning toward Iran. It is, rather, returning to the line from which it was forcibly severed in 1934. The Bankruptcy of the Co-optation Strategy The Saudi strategy of co-opting tribes contains an inherent mechanism for collapse. When Yemeni missiles strike Najran, Jizan, or Abha, who are the casualties? They are Saudi citizens from these border provinces, members of tribal families who have been expected to bear the costs of war under the banner of defending the Kingdom. Riyadh cannot protect them. Its air defense systems cannot intercept every strike. Its subsidies cannot purchase security. The loyalty Riyadh demands is one sided: you bear the costs, while we keep the throne. The logic of a tribe is never rooted in ideology. It is rooted in survival. When a protector fails to provide protection, the tribe seeks another. This is not betrayal. It is the fundamental arithmetic of tribal politics. Military Reality: Al Bayda cannot be viewed in isolation from the broader battlefield. Yemeni armed forces have advanced more than 100 kilometers deep into the Rub al Khali, Empty Quarter, desert, clearing out Saudi backed proxy forces. Missiles and drones have struck Aramco facilities in Yanbu, the Shaybah oil field, and airports in Jeddah and Khamis Mushait. These are not mere border skirmishes. They are strikes against the very core of the Saudi state and its military apparatus. When Shaybah, an oil field buried deep within the Rub al Khali, hundreds of kilometers from the Yemeni border, was struck, the concept of strategic depth effectively died. Border provinces are no longer buffer zones. They have become the front line. And those living on the front line will not indefinitely endure attacks for the sake of a throne that cannot protect them. Who Is Losing the South? This is the slow disintegration of an arrangement, a relic of the colonial era. The people of Najran, Jizan, and Asir are witnessing the Saudi state's failure on three fronts: it cannot protect them, it cannot win the war, and it can no longer buy their silence. Amidst this triple failure, they are rediscovering a history that had been buried since 1934. Saudi Arabia launched its war in Yemen to secure its southern border. Instead, it has militarized the political identity of that entire border region. Al Bayda is not the end. It is the first crack. And once a crack appears, the pressure will continue to propagate along it.

Iran Issues CODE 100, Highest Combat Alert as Fighter Jets SCRAMBLE Iranian F-14 Tomcats, F-5s, and Kowsar fighters are patrolling the Iran-Iraq border amid reports of Israeli and American jets operating over southern Iraq. Iranian outlets report that “Code 100,” the highest level of combat readiness, has been issued to government and military personnel.

Iranian media: Fighter jets belonging to the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force have been conducting patrols along the southern border between Iran and Iraq, coinciding with the flight of Israeli and American fighter jets over southern Iraq. It is likely that these flights were part of combat air patrols, possibly in anticipation of any missile launches.

Intial reports indicate that Syrian officers and experts sent by al-Julani to Yemen to make arrangements were slammed only 25 minutes after entering Sahn al-Jinn military camp in Marib Governorate. Saudi mercenaries and military equipment were slammed with them.

British Left-Wing Media Outlet ‘The Canary’ Has Announced It Is Officially Closing After 11 Years Of Journalism The platform was de-banked by Lloyds Bank & later announced a second account with Metro Bank was also frozen. A major attack was launched against the platform, which The Canary said made continuing to operate untenable. The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) condemned the move by Lloyds Bank as a “disturbing precedent for UK press freedom”. Online commentators have warned that the ability of the establishment to cripple media organisations critical of them creates a hostile environment that will pressure other news outlets to fall into line or face similar potential backlash.

Saudi-backed Yemeni government fears potential Ansarallah takeover of third-largest city —— Fighting across Yemen has escalated sharply as the Saudi-backed government scrambles to defend key positions against a sweeping offensive, according to Al Jazeera. Over recent days, Saudi-backed government forces have attempted to claw back lost ground west of Taiz, relying heavily on continuous aerial bombardments by the Saudi-led coalition to clear paths ahead of ground advances. The primary threat facing the Saudi-backed administration is the tightening encirclement of Taiz—Yemen’s third-largest city—by the Yemeni Armed Forces (Ansarallah), who have seized commanding mountain positions overlooking the urban center. With supply lines severed and strategic heights compromised, government officials have issued urgent appeals for direct international and military intervention, warning that the fall of Taiz poses a severe security hazard for their Saudi-backed forces.

قوات أنصار الله نفذت اليوم ربما واحدة من أكبر الضربات الصاروخية في تاريخها، وواحدة من أنجحها على الإطلاق، سواء من حيث حجم الخسائر البشرية أو الأهمية العسكرية للموقع المستهدف. قبل ساعات، استطاعت قوات أنصار الله استهداف معسكر العلم في محافظة شبوة بصواريخ بالستية، في ضربة خاطفة تزامنت مع تدريبات عسكرية للقوات الموالية للسعودية داخل المعسكر، وأسفرت، بحسب المعلومات الأولية، عن مقتل أكثر من 100 جندي، بينهم ما لا يقل عن 10 ضباط سعوديين، وإصابة المئات. ولفهم حجم هذه الضربة، يجب أولاً معرفة أهمية معسكر العلم وموقعه الجغرافي. يقع المعسكر في مديرية جردان، على مسافة تقارب 40 إلى 45 كيلومتراً من مدينة عتق، عاصمة محافظة شبوة، بالقرب من حقول العقلة النفطية، وعلى محور استراتيجي يرتبط بشبكة الطرق العسكرية والإمدادات الممتدة نحو حضرموت والعبر. وهو ليس مجرد ثكنة عسكرية عادية، بل أحد أهم مراكز التمركز والتدريب في شبوة، وكان تاريخياً ثاني أكبر مواقع التمركز العسكري الإماراتي في المحافظة بعد قاعدة بلحاف، قبل أن تتغير خريطة انتشار القوات المسيطرة عليه. والأهم من ذلك أن الضربة جاءت بعد نحو أسبوعين من حملة تجنيد سلفية مكثفة أطلقها الضباط السعوديين في شبوة. هنالك معلومات تحدثت على ان المشايخ الذين تولوا حملة التجنيد كانوا يشترطون على المتطوعين المواظبة على الصلاة واعتناق عقيدة ابن تيمية ومحمد بن عبد الوهاب في مسائل الصفات، وهي شروط عقائدية لا علاقة لها بالكفاءة العسكرية أو القدرة على كشف الاختراقات الاستخباراتية. وهنا يبرز سؤال بالغ الأهمية، هل تمكنت استخبارات انصار الله من اختراق صفوف المجندين وزرع عنصر بينهم استطاع نقل المعلومات عن تجمعاتهم ومواعيد تدريباتهم، وربما إحداثيات مواقعهم؟ فإصابة تجمع عسكري كبير أثناء التدريب بهذه الدقة تطرح تساؤلات جدية حول حجم المعلومات الاستخباراتية التي سبقت الضربة. ما حدث في معسكر العلم لا تقتصر أهميته على أعداد القتلى والجرحى، بل يتجاوز ذلك إلى قدرة أنصار الله على توجيه ضربة صاروخية كبيرة في العمق العسكري والنفطي لمحافظة شبوة، واستهداف تجمع للقوات الموالية للسعودية في أحد أهم معسكراتها، بعيداً عن خطوط المواجهة المباشرة. هذه ضربة ستكون لها تداعيات عسكرية تتجاوز حدود المعسكر نفسه.

Urgent | US State Department Spokesperson: We call for the immediate and unconditional release of all detained staff from our embassy in #Sanaa. No, they were intelligence personnel.

Mais c’est complètement surréaliste, ce qui se passe !

🇾🇪 Ansarallah now controls every entry point to Taiz, a city of more than 1 million people, and 20 of the province's 23 districts, Drop Site reported earlier this week. The entrances have become active frontlines, and drivers can only get in or out during brief lulls. Fighting and road closures have cut aid to about 800,000 people in and around the city, and wheat flour stocks are nearly exhausted, according to the World Food Programme. The International Organization for Migration says 201,217 people have been newly displaced by the escalation. Inside the city, 20 liters of petrol now costs 90,000 riyals, up from 30,000, and bread is about 50% more expensive, Drop Site reported. Schools and universities are closed, and dialysis patients can no longer safely reach hospitals. Sanaa's military says it has offered civilians safe routes out and accuses the forces inside of keeping crossings closed. Officials of the Saudi-backed government accuse Ansarallah of blocking fuel and gas tankers from entering the city, speaking to Al Jazeera Arabic. Neither claim could be independently verified. Residents told the Financial Times that fuel trucks can't reach the city because of fighting on the main roads, and that leaving now means crossing active front lines. "We missed the window to flee safely, so we have no choice now," Walid Saeed, an electrician, told Drop Site. 🔗 Read Drop Site's full dispatch from Taiz below.

lol era ovvio come il Sole che sorge la mattina che Verstappen tentasse lo strike in curva 1. È il suo stile, sempre. Ha avuto paura perché la Mercedes se lo aspettava ed ha portato gli avvocati, come conferma Horner. E poi l'hanno rubata dopo. Che pilota inutile.

Abdul Fatah al-Sisi couldn't get the parliamentarian approval needed to deploy Egyptian soldiers abroad today and the vote has been postponed until tomorrow. He is frankly beyond cooked at this point alongside the Egyptian military commanders who approved this.

È vero che non ha una grande squadra ma c'è materiale per fare molto meglio. Spalletti continua ad inventare cose strane invece di semplificare. Sembra che voglia inventare la ruota e le cose peggiorano. #Juventus

Non c'è molto da dire. Questa squadra è già tecnicamente in difficoltà e non è solo questione della punta. Se poi Spalletti ci si mette anche lui sbagliando tutto, diventa dura. Non si vede come questa squadra possa invertire la tendenza. #Juventus

Ma che goal è??? Dalla sua area in porta a segnare?? Ma davvero?? Pazzesco.... #Juventus

Appunto...

Conceicao non sa crossare. Lo sappiamo. Zhegrova meglio ma il migliore a crossare da noi è Cambiaso. Perché non è in campo? #Juventus
