Rerum Novarum // Intel, Breaking News, and Alerts 🇺🇸

🇺🇸🇮🇷 - IRGC's Navy uploads footage of the captured UUV confirming it to be the advanced DIVE LD.

🇾🇪 - A very low-tier false news report by a channel affiliated with Iran's IRGC's propaganda wing: - Map 1: Rerum Novarum's map of the southwest Ta'izz direction. - Map 2: An Arabic map of the same direction. - Map 3: The IRGC's propaganda channel's map of the same direction. The channel, using the Arabic map, claimed that Ansarullah forces have captured a key junction. The map incorrectly labels the junction "al-Mafraq," when in reality, al-Mafriq is located further west, just east of the Khalid bin Walid Military Camp. The rest of the locations seem correctly labelled on the Arabic map, as compared to Rerum Novarum's. The junction in question that was captured is the Moazza'a Junction, which Rerum Novarum reported on three days ago. It was not captured today, or even recently. The IRGC's propaganda channel, instead of matching the Arabic map with Google Map to assess the location from the terrain or roads, decides to publish the loss of al-Mafraq to the Ansarullah forces, a completely different location that doesn't even match the terrain of the Arabic map that posted just minutes prior. The junction does however lie on a key Ta'izz - Mocha supply route, as previously stated by Rerum Novarum. Rerum Novarum's map key: - Red, Maozza'a Junction. - Blue, al-Mafraq Junction. - Yellow, Khalid bin Walid Military Camp. Rerum Novarum has previously reported on the Khalid bin Walid Military Camp and its importance HERE.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡- Iran's Navy says it has seized what Tehran claims to be a "very advanced US unmanned underwater vessel, UUV," in the Strait of Hormuz. The UUV appears to be the Dive LD, which only entered operations last year. The underwater drone is used for seabed monitoring and can assist with sea-mine clearing. Note, the US has been carrying out secret mine clearing operations in the Hormuz over the past four months.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡- Iran has shot down a second US MQ-1C drone over the Strait of Hormuz, the second in less than 3 hours.

🇺🇸⚡️- Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer requests a pardon from President Trump.

🇾🇪 - Footage circulating online that purportedly shows PLC forces removing the Yemeni flag from territory captured from Ansarullah is being misrepresented. The video originates from the al-Bayda' direction in southern Yemen and shows what appears to be a PLC-affiliated unit taking down the Yemeni flag. However, the personnel involved belong to the Giant Brigades, an elite ultra-conservative formation established by the former Southern Transitional Council, STC, with support from the UAE. The Giant Brigades have historically adhered to Southern Arabian separatist ideals and, despite their current alignment with the PLC, continue to maintain a distinct political identity. Following the collapse of the STC government and the subsequent STC-PLC clashes earlier this year, the Giant Brigades switched sides and began supporting the PLC. The PLC itself does not reject the Yemeni flag or the concept of a unified Yemeni state. Rerum Novarum has uploaded a second video from a Giant Brigades-affiliated account showing fighters attaching the Southern Arabia flag to their technical before battle for context.

🇬🇧🇮🇱⚡- "Those who act against Israel, Israel will act against them. They will lose their influence and relevance in the region. Measures against Israel will not remain without a response," - Gideon Sa'ar, Israeli Foreign Minister.

🇬🇧🇮🇱⚡- Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has ordered the British Consulate in East Jerusalem to cease operations, and have expelled British representatives from the Gaza Coordination Center.

🇾🇪 - PLC frontline sources confirm the loss of al-Yatmah to Ansarullah, al-Jawf region, northern Yemen.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 - Correction, the launches may have been air defense missiles, as Iran is claiming to have downed a US MQ-1C over the Strait of Hormuz.

🇾🇪 - Very interesting: the Ansarullah member featured in the video appears to surface across different front lines whenever reports emerge that pro al-Houthi forces have allegedly lost control of territory. In the video above, the individual is seen in the Jabal al-Libnat area, home to the al-Libnat Military Camp. The footage was released shortly after initial reports, later proven false, claimed that PLC forces had captured the military base. Today, the same individual appears to have surfaced in al-Yatmah following the capture of the market area by PLC-aligned forces.

🇬🇧🇮🇱⚡- "France and Canada to announce today that they will join Britain in imposing sanctions on the West Bank Israeli settlements," - i24.

🇾🇪 - Ansarullah-affiliated media report they have successfully recaptured the al-Yatmah market in the al-Hazm direction of the al-Jawf region, northern Yemen. However, the videos published and claims cannot be verified whether they are new or old.
