مليشيات الحوثي تقوم اليوم بعمليات نهب واسعة لتجار #صنعاء وتطلب مبالغ مالية لتمويل الجبهات
حيث شاهد المواطنون العديد من الاطقم الحوثية وهي تقوم باعتقال عشرات التجار الرافضين الدفع واقتيادهم الى مناطق مجهولة .
الوضع في صنعاء اصبح جوع وفوضى عارمة واحتمال تنفجر الاوضاع في أي لحظة
Exactly, Trump is not fighting war with Iran, Trump is just doing sergical strikes on Iran to achieve its goals.
Trump on Iran War:
It's not a war. Can't be a war when for five months nobody is hurt, killed, or anything else. It's not a war.
You know, in Russia, Ukraine, they lose 25,000 people a month. We haven't lost anybody in seven months. So I don't think that's a war.
We have total control, but we're dealing with the Iranians. We'll see how that all works out.

🇺🇦🇷🇺🇮🇷 NATO might be ready to make some concessions on Ukrainian territory to Russia. Iran fears it will pay the bill.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte: "We do not expect Ukraine to hold onto all of its territory in any solution." The day before, Iran's security chief Mohsen Rezaei reportedly flew to Moscow.
So is NATO buying peace in Ukraine, and is Russia's help to Iran part of the price?
Why the timing matters
The US midterms ended on 3 November, and the Pentagon's three-day strike plan against Iran was reportedly waiting for that vote. Trump reportedly says he may "have to" destroy Iran, and Iran claims it downed two more US drones near Qeshm.
Meanwhile the Ukraine track is speeding up. Putin agreed "in principle" to three-way talks after 10 November. China has acknowledged contacts about a Trump, Putin and Xi meeting at the APEC summit in Shenzhen on 18 and 19 November, which critics already call a new Yalta.
Two wars, one bargaining table, the same two weeks.
Trump has already linked the two
On 18 October he explained why he was holding back sanctions on Russia. One reason: keeping Russia from helping Iran. Washington is already paying Moscow in sanctions relief to stay out of the Iran war. Ukrainian land would be a far bigger payment.
What Russia gives Iran
Drone parts cross the Caspian Sea. Bloomberg reported Russian missiles reaching Iran, and Russian documents reportedly list 90 helicopter-missile launchers. Russian engineers staff Bushehr, Iran's only nuclear power plant.
Why Tehran is nervous
The 2025 Russia-Iran treaty has no defence clause: on paper, Moscow owes Tehran nothing. And in December 2024 Russia let Assad fall because Ukraine came first. Rezaei's trip looks like a request for guarantees before the bombs, not after.
Why Putin won't simply drop Iran
Moscow can't afford an Iran that flips to America: it guards Russia's southern door, from the Caspian to Central Asia. And a long war keeps oil near $100 and US munitions away from Europe. So expect a slowdown, sold at a price.
Putin never drops a partner for free. He sells it. Watch the talks after 10 November, Shenzhen on 18 November, and the Caspian: if the cargo slows after a Ukraine deal, you'll know what Iran was worth.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 ZELENSKYY WARNS MOSCOW: NO PART OF RUSSIA IS BEYOND UKRAINE’S REACH
Volodymyr Zelenskyy has delivered a warning to the Kremlin, declaring that Ukrainian forces can now reach targets once considered safely beyond the frontlines.
His message comes as Ukraine continues expanding its long-range strike capabilities, increasingly challenging Russia’s ability to protect military installations and infrastructure deep inside its territory.
For years, Moscow has launched missiles and drones against Ukrainian cities from positions far beyond the reach of most Ukrainian weapons.
That geographical advantage is becoming less reliable.
Ukraine’s domestically developed drones have demonstrated that distance alone cannot guarantee protection. Military airfields, ammunition depots and facilities supporting Russia’s war effort must now account for threats hundreds of kilometres from the battlefield.
And that creates a difficult problem for Russian military planners.
Every additional installation requiring air defence protection competes for systems, personnel and resources that could otherwise be deployed closer to the front.
Zelenskyy’s declaration is a statement of Ukraine’s expanding capabilities, not proof that every target in Russia can be struck successfully.
But the strategic implications are significant.
Russia’s invasion has forced Ukraine to develop weapons capable of reaching the infrastructure sustaining the war.
Moscow can no longer assume that launching attacks from deep inside Russian territory means operating beyond Ukraine’s ability to respond.

Saudi Arabia is under Houthi missile and drone fire. Look at what it did this week anyway.
On Wednesday, President al-Sharaa was in Riyadh for the second time in less than a month. Saudi Arabia signed over $403 million in development loans to Syria:
$100m to rebuild hospitals and health facilities
$60m to repair damaged homes
$105m to strengthen civil defence
$90m to bring Aleppo's power plant back to life
$30m for drinking water in Damascus and Idlib
That comes on top of $2 billion for Aleppo's airports and a fiber network to reconnect Syria with the world.
In Yemen, Saudi Arabia's Masam project cleared 2,037 mines and explosives in the last week of October alone. The total since the project began: 600,000. Mines planted by the Houthis, threatening Yemeni civilians every day, children included.
And in 2025, Saudi Arabia was the world's second largest humanitarian donor according to UN data. It covered almost half of all aid to Yemen.
Think about that. The Houthis fire missiles at Saudi airports. Saudi Arabia clears Houthi mines from Yemeni soil.
One side exports chaos. The other builds hospitals, power plants and water systems for its neighbours.
That is the difference between Iran's axis and Saudi Arabia. And that is why the region is turning toward Riyadh.

Iranian regime is in hands of stupid people
NEW: Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary Maj. Gen. Mohsen Rezaei:
The great nation of Iran inflicted a major strategic defeat on Trump on the battlefield and in the Strait of Hormuz, as well as a heavy political defeat in Washington.
American citizens and the U.S. government have personally been saddled with the exorbitant and heavy costs of Trump’s warmongering.
Anyone who takes on the Islamic Republic of Iran will pay a heavy price for it, from the battlefield to their own doorstep.

إيران ليست دولة إسلامية
إيران دولة ترفع شعار الإسلام بينما أفعالها بعيدة كل البعد عن قيم الإسلام وأخلاقه ومبادئه
الإسلام دين الرحمة والعدل والصدق وحقن الدماء بينما سياسة إيران قائمة على نشر الفتنة وإشعال الحروب وتمزيق الشعوب وزرع المليشيات في بلاد المسلمين
أي إسلام هذا الذي يقتل الأطفال في اليمن وسوريا والعراق ولبنان ويدمر المساجد ويشرد الملايين ثم يدعي أنه ينصر الإسلام
الإسلام لا يعرف الطائفية ولا يعرف القتل على الهوية ولا يعرف تصدير الخراب باسم الدين
من يقتل المسلم ويحاصر المسلم ويجوع المسلم لا يمكن أن يكون ممثلا للإسلام أبدا
إيران مشروع سياسي توسعي يلبس ثوب الدين ليخدع البسطاء ويبرر جرائمه ويمرر أطماعه
فالإسلام بريء من كل من يتاجر به ويستخدمه غطاء لمشاريعه وأهدافه الخبيثة

Our long-range sanctions have targeted the Rostov region. The Kamensky Combine, a Russian defense industry enterprise involved in missile production, was hit.
A Pantsir-S2 system and a command and staff vehicle of the S-400 Triumf system were also hit. The total value of the air defense assets struck is around $70 million.
I thank the warriors of the Security Service of Ukraine @ServiceSsu and other units of the Defense Forces for their accuracy! We are justly defending ourselves against Russian aggression and doing everything to reduce Russia’s capability to continue it.

PANIC IN MOSCOW: Russian military bloggers are spiraling as Ukraine launches its most aggressive and precise refinery-destruction campaign yet!
⚡ 3 of Russia’s LARGEST oil refineries hit in just 72 hours.
With Russian air defense stripped bare to cover the frontlines, Kremlin assets are sitting ducks. The reality is sinking in: the previous strikes were just a warmup. Ukraine is systematically dismantling Russia’s energy backbone, and Moscow is completely powerless to stop it.
🔥 The fire is spreading. The war has come home.

🇾🇪🇸🇦 The Houthis have put Taiz in a chokehold. A government defeat could shake Saudi Arabia’s position in Yemen.
→ Government-held Taiz has reportedly been encircled since 12 October, with defenders facing shortages.
→ The video maps the siege, the reported airstrikes and the supply road from Aden.
Why could this city change the stakes of the war?
The wider struggle
→ Saudi Arabia backs Yemen’s government; the Iran-backed Houthis hold the capital, Sanaa.
→ Riyadh’s planned offensive aimed to reverse Houthi gains near Red Sea shipping routes. Taiz shows the pressure on its own side.
What defeat could mean
→ A Houthi victory could increase pressure toward Aden, the government’s temporary capital, and weaken Riyadh’s allies.
→ That would strengthen the Houthis’ bargaining position. It would not make Aden’s fall inevitable.
What actually breaks a siege
→ Government-aligned forces are fighting south of Taiz. Misrakh’s full recapture is unverified.
→ Breaking the ring means little unless the road to Aden stays open and secure. Civilians need those supplies too.
Saudi air power can hit the siege. Relief means keeping supplies moving. Watch the road, not the explosions.

مشكلة ثورة26سبتمبر أنها اكتفت بإسقاط الإمام وأبقت على الإمامة، بل أعادت المصالحة رموزها بثوب الجمهورية، ما مكنهم من إنشاء نظام مواز داخل مفاصل الدولة انتهى بانقلابهم عليها
لهذا نؤكد أن خلاص اليمن لن يكون بإسقاط انقلاب الحوثي فحسب، بل وإسقاط فكرة الإمامة الزيدية وتجريمها دستوريا.
