The Yemeni Armed Forces announced on Thursday afternoon "the execution of four specialized military operations targeting the Saudi Ministry of Defense building in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, the Aramco facility in Yanbu, and both King Fahd and Abha International Airports."
■ The Saudi War Ministry "was struck directly."
■ "Over the past 100 days, the criminal Saudi enemy—as part of its ongoing aggression and recent escalation—has launched more than 2,900 airstrikes and missile attacks, targeting civilian sites in our beloved country. In doing so, the enemy has committed dozens of atrocities, resulting in more than 562 martyrs and wounded—the majority of whom are women and children," the YAF said in their statement.

One of the only countries Martyr Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei ever visited outside of Iran was North Korea, accurately known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). What is the history of the Iran-DPRK strategic relationship, given their shared objectives of resisting imperialist siege and establishing deterrence against the US?

إبقاء اللبنانيين في حالة ترقّب دائم للحرب هو بحدّ ذاته هدف إسرائيلي. فالانشغال المستمر بسؤال "متى ستندلع الحرب؟" وما يرافقه من قلق وضغط نفسي، يساهم في تعطيل العودة إلى الحياة الطبيعية، ويُبقي اللبنانيين في حالة من عدم الاستقرار، حتى في الفترات التي لا تشهد مواجهات عسكرية واسعة. وهذا يُساهم في التصويب الدائم والمستمر على المقاومة وتحميلها مسؤولية ما تقوم به اسرائيل.
والحقيقة أن لا أحد يعرف موعد التصعيد سوى الجهة التي تمتلك قرار إطلاقه. أما كل ما يُقال خارج هذه الدائرة، فيبقى في إطار التقديرات والتحليلات التي قد تصيب وقد تخطئ. لذلك، من الضروري التمييز بين المعلومات المؤكدة والتوقعات، وعدم التعامل مع كل تحليل أو تسريب باعتباره إعلانًا عن حرب وشيكة.
الثابت أن المنطقة بأسرها لا تزال تعيش تداعيات دوامة الحرب المستمرة منذ 7 تشرين الأول 2023، من دون ظهور مؤشرات جدّية إلى تسويات قريبة في ساحات الصراع المختلفة. وهذا يعني أن احتمالات التصعيد ستبقى قائمة، لكن استمرار احتمالات الحرب لا يعني بالضرورة اقتراب موعدها.
أما في ما يتعلق بلبنان، فلا يبدو، وفق المعطيات المتاحة، أن لنتنياهو مصلحة انتخابية واضحة في الذهاب إلى تصعيد واسع قبل الانتخابات الإسرائيلية. فالحرب على لبنان قد تعيد مستوطنات الشمال إلى دائرة الاستهداف، وتُجدّد أزمة الأمن والنزوح لدى سكانها، وهو ما قد يتحوّل إلى عبء انتخابي على نتنياهو، خصوصًا إذا عجز عن تحقيق نتائج سريعة وحاسمة.
في المقابل، تشير قراءة المواقف الإسرائيلية والأميركية إلى أن الساحة الإيرانية قد تكون الأقرب إلى جولة جديدة من التصعيد. وبتقديري، بينما يتّفق ترامب ونتنياهو على مبدأ التصعيد نفسه، إلا أنهما يختلفان حول توقيته. فقد يجد نتنياهو مصلحة في خوض جولة جديدة مع إيران قبل الانتخابات الإسرائيلية، خاصة اذا امتلك معلومات وتقدير حول الأهداف المُمكن تحقيقها، فيما قد يفضّل ترامب تأجيلها إلى ما بعد الانتخابات النصفية الأميركية، تجنّبًا لتداعياتها المحتملة على أسعار الطاقة والاقتصاد الأميركي والمزاج الانتخابي.
في المحصّلة، المطلوب هو التعامل مع احتمالات الحرب بجدّية ووعي، من دون الوقوع في فخّ الترقّب الدائم الذي يجعل التهديد بالحرب يحقق بعض أهدافها قبل أن تبدأ. فإسرائيل لا تحتاج دائمًا إلى إطلاق النار لإرباك خصومها، أحيانًا يكفي أن تجعلهم يعيشون كل يوم كما لو أن الحرب ستبدأ غدًا.

BREAKING: Palestine Action targeted DSV in Germany, a logistics firm which transports weapons for Israeli arms firm Elbit Systems.
They spray painted the building, shattered windows and threw stink bombs into the offices.

🤯 A Cuban citizen just converted a Soviet-era "Fiat-Polski" into an electric vehicle.
The U.S. fuel blockade is not only causing hours-long blackouts; it has also drastically affected transportation.
This video shows how innovation is also an act of resistance against U.S. aggression.

Why do you invest NYC pension funds in Elbit Systems?

Every time you tap your card on the New York City subway, that fare feeds a weapons contractor.
■ Cubic Corporation built and runs OMNY, the MTA's contactless payment system. Its military division has collected billions in Pentagon contracts, including Palantir collabs and funding for F-35 training simulators: the same aircraft the Israeli occupation uses in its genocide in Gaza.
■ OMNY links your transit movements to your name, address, date of birth, and photo. Cubic's own documents describe that data as material for "monetization schemes," and the privacy policy permits sharing it with law enforcement indefinitely.
■ Last week, activists in Brooklyn drilled through OMNY hardware at Church Avenue station, opened the gates, and painted over surveillance cameras. They named the target precisely: unaffordable fares, racist surveillance policing, and the military company behind the tap-to-pay system itself.
Amazing community note.
My argument is that drug trafficking is real but subordinate to states and imperialism, omnipotent “cartels” are myths, and the term “cartel” itself was invented by the DEA and US officials.

Palestine Action continues direct actions in the US targeting Elbit and its profiteers, despite the US "terrorist" designation of the group.
BREAKING: Palestine Action targeted the Manhattan branch of Capital One Bank, who help bankroll Elbit Systems, Israel's biggest weapons company, through a loan of more than $500 million.
Full statement:
BREAKING: Palestine Action defy Trump's terror ban and target the Manhattan branch of Capital One Bank, who help bankroll Elbit Systems.
Multiple windows were broken at the site at 249 East 86th Street, New York City, NY 10028. The bank was sprayed, both inside and out, with symbolic blood-red paint, representing the Palestinian blood spilled by Israel.
Graffiti instructed Capital One to "Drop Elbit!". The entrance doors to the branch were locked by the actionists, effectively shutting it down for the day.
Capital One are one of the six banks responsible for a loan of $545 million to Elbit, who provide the Israeli military with over 85% of their killer drone fleet, and 80% of their land-based weaponry and equipment.
In a statement, the actionists said: "We will no longer allow this country, and the companies that plague it, to be involved in the genocide of the Palestinian people without answering for their crimes. There is only one future, with a free Palestine. Join us and make it so."

Former Palestine Action US political prisoners have been subpoenaed by the FBI and US Department of Justice for a federal grand jury, likely “to testify against Fergie Chambers," according to an exclusive report by Wyatt Reed (@wyattreed13) for The Grayzone (@thegrayzonenews).
■ "Subpoenas obtained by this outlet show the US Department of Justice is seeking to compel statements from two pro-Palestine activists, Sophie Ross and Bridget Shergalis. The pair previously pled guilty to minor charges and were sentenced to 60 days" for participating in a direct action against the Elbit Systems factory in Merrimack, New Hampshire, according to The Grayzone.
■ "While it’s unclear who the ultimate target of the grand jury investigation is, circumstantial evidence strongly suggests the FBI is seeking to compel witnesses to testify against Fergie Chambers, a wealthy American activist who donated millions to projects across the Middle East, including bakeries and healthcare facilities in Gaza and a prominent soccer team in Tunisia. Chambers has been jailed in Spain for over three months thanks to a pending US extradition order citing extremely dubious charges of financing terrorism and accusations that he played a role in the anti-Elbit action in Merrimack," The Grayzone noted.

The targeting of Fergie Chambers, the Merrimack 4, Masar Badil and others represents a futile attempt to suppress the uncompromising resistance at the heart of the Palestinian struggle for liberation and return.
Our response must be to plant our feet and never retreat.

Is this the new LARP? American politicians flying to the West Bank to cosplay as defenders of Palestinians while supporting the very institutions that make settler violence possible in the first place?
Brad Lander, we didn’t need you to fly to Palestine and get into a scuffle with settlers to prove you’re an ally. We needed you to stop investing our money in Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer, while it profited from the genocide of our people. We needed you to stop proudly identifying as a Zionist while condemning Palestinian resistance.
Palestinians don’t need your performative solidarity. We need you to stop supporting our oppressors.
And those who stand with Palestine cannot allow these gestures to buy our trust, erase politicians’ records, or earn them our votes. A photo op in the West Bank does not absolve anyone of their complicity.
Our standards for solidarity with Palestinian liberation cannot be lowered just because politicians have learned how to perform it.
I'm in the West Bank this week as part of the “Protect the Harvest” coalition along with @israelispeaceny, @ucpinpalestine & Protect the Harvest, which is bringing people together from around the world to help Palestinian farmers harvest olives in the face of state-sanctioned settler terrorism.
Our goals for the trip are to help protect the olive harvest — and to shed a light on the reality of the occupation. To ensure that international solidarity goes beyond the harvest, to become a sustained commitment to protecting Palestinian communities from settler violence, forced displacement, and the ongoing threats to their right to remain on their land.
And, speedily and in our day, to secure human rights, safety, equality & freedom for both Palestinians and Israelis.
Thankfully, our corner of today's harvest was peaceful and successful. But violence unfortunately is never far away.
We’ll keep you posted on our efforts this week, especially the stories we hear from Palestinians on the ground. Protect the Harvest.
