BREAKING | Saudi warplanes bomb oil facility and fuel station in Yemeni capital, killing one and injuring five At least one person was killed and five others wounded moments ago when Saudi warplanes launched heavy airstrikes on energy infrastructure in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa, hitting the state oil company building in the Al-Satin district and a fuel station in the northern Jadar district. According to reports from Saba News Agency, Saudi aircraft targeted the Yemeni Petroleum Company (YPC) facility in southern Sanaa, inflicting significant structural damage and wounding six staff members and nearby residents. Emergency crews and firefighters rushed to the scene to extinguish widespread blazes and secure surrounding residential areas. Simultaneously, Saudi jets struck the Al-Mufazir fuel station north of Sanaa, setting several gas transport trailers ablaze as part of an intensified aerial campaign against Yemeni civilian infrastructure. The targeted strikes on Sanaa coincided with retaliatory long-range missile and drone operations launched by Yemen's Armed Forces against high-value military targets in the Saudi capital of Riyadh.

‼️ Canada reimposes economic sanctions on 11 Iranian entities Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand announced on Tuesday that Ottawa is reimposing economic sanctions on 11 Iranian entities under the Special Economic Measures (Iran) Regulations, targeting Tehran's nuclear energy sector and defensive ballistic missile program. The announcement was made in Paris during the G7 Foreign Ministers' Meeting, where western diplomats assembled to coordinate diplomatic pressure against Tehran. Global Affairs Canada stated that Ottawa is reversing sanctions relief granted in 2016 under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), aligning its legal framework with Western allies to restrict Iranian financial networks. "Canada’s position is unequivocal: Iran must never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon," Anand claimed on Tuesday, attempting to justify the reimposition of economic restrictions. The targeted Iranian organizations had their restrictions lifted a decade ago after verified compliance with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) protocols under the 2015 nuclear agreement. However, Canadian officials pointed to Iran's scaled-back cooperation with IAEA inspectors, a direct response to Washington's unilateral withdrawal from the JCPOA and the imposition of a broad naval and financial blockade, to justify cutting off technology transfers and funding channels. Political observers note that Canada's decision to align with G7 directives underscores Western efforts to maintain punitive economic measures while simultaneously demanding diplomatic concessions from Tehran regarding its defensive weapons programs.

❗️Netanyahu calls Trump daily to reignite war on Iran as regional leaders push for diplomacy Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been calling US President Donald Trump on a daily basis to urge a resumption of joint military operations against Iran, directly opposing intense regional diplomatic efforts to end the military confrontation. According to a report published by the Financial Times, source leaks reveal that Netanyahu is pressing Washington for renewed air strikes aimed at forcing the collapse of Tehran's government. However, regional leaders across West Asia and key figures inside the White House are attempting to counter Tel Aviv's aggressive lobbying push by urging Donald Trump to prioritize negotiations. "Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait and others would prefer the status quo," Trump acknowledged on Monday in a social media post following high-level discussions with Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani. Trump added that renewed US strikes on Iran currently appear "quite unlikely" as discussions progress toward diplomatic channels. Regional leaders, including Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, have engaged in urgent contact with Washington, warning that renewed US-Israeli strikes would trigger widespread Iranian retaliation across West Asia. Meanwhile, official sources in Tehran reiterated to Fars News Agency that Iran will not accept interim asset arrangements or reopen strategic maritime corridors until Washington meets Tehran's seven core conditions, including lifting the naval blockade and ceasing all military aggression.

❗️US Representative Thomas Massie introduces eight articles of impeachment against War Secretary Pete Hegseth US Representative Thomas Massie introduced a privileged resolution on the House floor on Monday to impeach US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, leveling eight formal articles charging him with high crimes and misdemeanors over unauthorized war operations in West Asia and Latin America. Reading from the resolution text, Massie accused Hegseth of violating the US Constitution and the War Powers Resolution of 1973 by conducting prolonged, unauthorized military operations against Iran and Yemen without congressional approval or statutory authorization. The charges also cite Hegseth for defying congressional directives to cease hostilities, bypassing legal frameworks within the Department of War, and gutting civilian casualty mitigation protocols. The resolution further details severe extrajudicial actions, including overseeing lethal strike guidelines in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific that resulted in summary executions of at least 221 individuals on suspected drug vessels, ordering the kidnapping of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro without authorization, and suppressing free speech through administrative retaliation against US lawmakers who questioned the legality of military orders.
