▪️According to the spokesman of the Yemeni Houthis, General Yahya Sarie, the vessel MV BLUE LAGOON I, carrying about 2 million barrels of oil, was attacked with two ballistic missiles west of the port of As-Salif.
This is almost twice as much as the Greek-owned MV DELTA SOUNION, which the Yemenis attacked on August 21 and which is still burning.
▪️West of the port of Al-Hudaydah, a drone strike hit the Saudi-flagged and Greek-operated ship MV AMJAD.
🔻Both tankers were damaged, but the extent of the damage is still unknown. The information about the successful #AnsarAllah attacks is confirmed by the US Central Command.
Meanwhile, according to the #US agency, work is underway in the #RedSea to prevent an environmental disaster due to the oil spill from the damaged MV DELTA SOUNION.

🔻The initial terms of the truce between Hamas and Israel are about to expire, but both sides have expressed their willingness to extend it.
▪️ Hamas has stated that they are ready to release more Israelis if the ceasefire continues.
▪️ Israeli authorities also agree to this scenario: Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu has expressed his readiness to extend the truce by a day for each new group of ten #hostages released.
▪️ According to the latest information, the truce has been extended for another 2 days, until Thursday morning. This has been confirmed by both Israel and Hamas. However, as a condition, the Israeli authorities have demanded that the militants provide a list of the people they plan to release by midnight today.
According to some reports, if #Hamas continues to release hostages, the ceasefire may be extended once again.
🔻 However, there has been a small setback with the exchange: the list of hostages presented by Hamas for release today included 9 children without mothers and two elderly women. However, according to the terms of the agreement, families cannot be separated.
▪️ Nevertheless, rumors began circulating online towards the evening that the exchange would still take place and that the lists were being adjusted.
🔻Today, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) reported details of yesterday's attempt by the Houthis to seize the Central Park ship in the Red Sea. The Americans allegedly thwarted this attempt and captured five militants.
And today, following the failed hijacking of the cargo ship, the @Houthis allegedly launched two missile attacks from Yemen on the US Navy ship USS MASON, but missed.
▪️ After these reports from #CENTCOM, the Ansarallah movement started denying that the hijacking attempt had even taken place. According to them, they are only trying to capture Israeli ships, and these statements are intended to discredit them.
▪️ Later, an alternative version was put forward: the American publication Politico, citing sources in the #Pentagon, reported that the ship was actually attacked by #Somali pirates.
🔻 Meanwhile, Israeli security forces continue to carry out massive raids on Palestinian cities in the #WestBank. The most violent clashes today occurred in the suburbs of #Nablus, #Jenin, and settlements near #Ramallah.

The vague helicopter incident comes as the US has been reinforcing its presence in Syria’s oil-rich region.
US troops have also reinforced their presence in other areas of Syria in fear of Iranian strikes on their bases, which over the past two years have become a common occurrence.

Reading between the lines means that they are coordinating Israeli action to play the role of ISIS air force while Americans look the other way and their plans to help each other to attack Iranian military and nuclear research facilities in the coming months.
The chatters on various closed groups says that Israel has already bombed 2 sites in Iran. One in Urmieh close to Azerbaijan and one in Kermanshah close to Iraqi border. Both using drones or stealth fighter jets.

The neo-con American enterprise institute analysis of latest protests in Iran. They seems to be looking at strategic issues with the protests and how is driving them.
It is an interesting and pretty accurate analysis, but leaves out many of the violent actions across the country including the murder of IRGC commander, attack against telephone base stations, mosques and religious institutes, as well as several armed attacks against IRI forces in Baluchistan, Kurdistan and Kuzestan in the past few days.
I wish more western reporters would read these rather than blindly listen to the Iran International, i24 and VOA for news about what is happening in Iran.
