🇮🇷🇾🇪🇸🇦⚡- A senior Ansarullah official Mohammed al-Farah has floated the idea of closing the Strait of Bab al-Mandab in response to the Saudi attacks on Sana'a International Airport earlier today.

⚡️ On July 13, the German Ambassador to Russia was summoned to the Russia's Foreign Ministry, where he was informed of Berlin’s involvement in the Kiev regime’s terrorist strikes on civilian infrastructure in Russia.

The Ambassador was apprised of the unacceptability of Germany’s growing support for the Kiev regime, including the conclusion of military and military-technical agreements, direct arms supplies, and the organisation of joint ventures aimed at creating offensive capabilities to target peaceful facilities in Russia, including reconnaissance and strike UAVs, anti-aircraft missiles and rocket munitions used to attack civilian infrastructure.

☝️ The Ambassador was informed that Germany’s attempts to dictate to third countries, including official representatives of the People’s Republic of China, how and in what format they should build relations with Russia were unacceptable.

During the meeting, the Ambassador was told that the shift in the German propaganda apparatus’s information and communications activities towards the style of the worst practices of Nazi propaganda was immoral and provoked historically conditioned rejection and outrage among broad sections of our country’s population.

At the same time, we learned with no small degree of satisfaction that the German Ambassador to the Russian Federation will soon be returning by a petrol-powered car to his homeland upon completion of his posting.

Maybe take a hint..🤷🏻‍♂️

Please do it, let’s see what happens.

Projecting US military power so far away from home isn't a viable long term operation. Soon enough, as our founding father's articulated well enough, [when we were a nascent nation without any military capability] getting involved with entangling alliances is the surest way to imperial decline. It's written in the lesson books of history.

🇪🇪🇷🇺⚡- Russia conducted live-fire exercises on Lake Peipus without prior notification to Estonia, marking an unprecedented breach of established practice along the two countries’ shared border.

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️- "The Israel Airports Authority today issued an exceptional temporary directive to Israeli air traffic control, stating that 'US refuelling aircraft must not be permitted to land at Ben Gurion Airport'. It is believed that the directive came from the office of Transport Minister Miri Regev.

According to the Israel Airports Authority, this poses a renewed threat to some 50,000 flight tickets, which will be cancelled during July if the withdrawal does not proceed." - Kan News, Israeli media.

❗️Israeli military experiencing deepening reserve force crisis, with some units facing 'de facto collapse'

Israeli Army Radio correspondent Doron Kadosh reported growing concerns within the Israeli military over the deteriorating state of the reserve system on 14 July, citing commanders who say reserve brigades and battalions deployed in Lebanon are operating far below full strength and that official mobilization figures present a misleading picture.

According to the report, reserve armored companies that previously operated with 10–12 tank crews are now functioning with significantly fewer operational tanks due to battlefield losses and damaged equipment requiring lengthy repairs. Because of these shortages, the military reportedly summons fewer reservists from the outset, artificially inflating mobilization rates, while many of those counted as reporting for duty only serve part of their deployments.

One reserve commander was quoted as saying:

"Reserve units today are hollow – a battalion is not a full battalion, and a company is not truly a company. The public and decision-makers hear about entire brigades in Lebanon, but in reality it is a much smaller force ... Parts of the reserve system are already de facto in a state of collapse."

The report cited several examples from the field, including a reserve company that recently completed operations in Lebanon with only one officer remaining in the entire company, forcing enlisted soldiers to fill command roles normally held by officers. Another reserve battalion in the occupied West Bank reportedly saw only two of its companies report for duty, requiring reinforcements from another reserve unit to fill operational gaps.

Kadosh also reported that an entire team of young commandos recently transferred to the reserves after completing active service informed commanders they could no longer continue serving due to exhaustion and academic pressures, with commanders ultimately approving their release from reserve duty.

Prolonged deployments since 7 October have placed severe strain on manpower, equipment, and command structures across parts of Israel's reserve forces.

❗️Former Trump campaign chief runs covert Israeli influence operation targeting MAGA base

A report by TIME Magazine reveals that Brad Parscale, former campaign manager for US President Donald Trump, has been spearheading a multimillion-dollar digital influence operation on behalf of the Israeli government.

The campaign utilizes a sophisticated network of social media influencers and AI-targeted websites to bolster support for Israel among young conservative voters and the MAGA base.

This scheme surfaced when US officials noticed a wave of organized social media posts attacking President Trump’s ceasefire agreement with Iran.

These coordinated messages revealed a divide between the White House’s goals and the pro-Israel content Parscale was being paid to promote

While Parscale asserts he is merely amplifying existing pro-Israel sentiment, some intelligence officials express concern over a foreign entity covertly shaping the political discourse of the president's own supporters.
