Israel’s three-headed spy machine
Mossad commands the mythology, but Israel’s shadow wars rely on three competing agencies that fuse espionage, occupation, and military force.
🇾🇪❌️🇸🇦 Ansarullah forces breached the northern defensive lines of Jabal Habashi on the northwestern axis of Taiz (southern Yemen).
The advance proceeded from “Adinah” toward the positions held by Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) forces in the “Al-Zawi” area.
Jabal Habashi is considered the final defensive position held by the PLC forces northwest of the city of Taiz.

🇾🇪❌️🇸🇦 A useful infographic for the Saudi losses in the air so far, since the hostilities reignited in Yemen.

—❗️🇸🇦/🇾🇪 BREAKING: Clashes have broken out in Marib city between Saudi-backed Islah forces and the Ubaydah tribe [Al-Mu’aily Tribe]
The clashes erupted after Al-Islah (Saudi-backed Islamist and tribal forces) shelled the home of tribal leader Sheikh Naji Muhsin Mu’ayli, which was full of women and children.

Tldr: Saudi-backed Islamist and tribal alliance ‘Al-Islah’ (part of the PLC) is engaging in clashes with other tribes in Marib.
The Houthis are not currently involved in this, but it makes the situation more tense and vulnerable for the PLC.
🇷🇺🇨🇳🇮🇷🔫🇺🇳🎪Russia & China veto extension of UNSC Iran sanctions “Panel of Experts”
Russia and China vetoed a US-drafted UNSC resolution that would have extended the mandate of the Panel of Experts supporting the resolution 1737 Iran Sanctions Committee until September 2027.
Vote: 11 in favor (Epstinite Imperium + vassals), 2 against (Russia, China), 2 abstentions (Pakistan, reportedly Somalia).
Russian envoy Vasily Nebenzya called the draft “deeply flawed” with no legal basis, reiterating that Resolution 2231 expired October 18, 2025, and that the Iranian nuclear file is off the Council’s agenda.
Epsteinite regime UNSC members (US, UK, France) insist that the sanctions regime was legally restored via the E3 “snapback” in September 2025.
What does this mean: the Panel’s mandate expires Sept 26/27 — the Epsteinites have roughly ten days to find an alternative monitoring arrangement or lose “independent” oversight of Iran sanctions, leaving the IAEA as the sole body still reporting on the nuclear file.
🇮🇷Ghalibaf’s response:
“The unipolar order in which one side extracts concessions through force and coercion has ended. China and Russia’s vetoes rejected the political abuse of the Security Council and reaffirmed the rule of law. We must defend multilateralism; unilateralism serves no one’s interests.”
🐻The “Rules based order” is, at least symbolically, giving room to International law. The Imperium will not take this well, tantrums expected.

❗️Reuters: US, Ansarallah held secret talks in Oman over weekend
Expand
US officials met with representatives of Yemen’s Ansarallah in Oman over the weekend, according to five sources familiar with the matter to Reuters, days after the group seized a strategic section of the Red Sea coast during an offensive that pushed back Saudi-backed forces.
The meeting, which was not publicly announced, took place at the US Embassy in Muscat, three sources said on condition of anonymity. Two sources said Oman’s government helped arrange the talks.
Two sources said Ansarallah told US officials during the meeting, which one source said was held on Sunday, that they had no plans to attack US vessels and remained committed to the 2025 ceasefire with Washington. One Yemeni source said the group also pledged not to target Israeli ships or commercial vessels, with the exception of Saudi-owned vessels.
Two sources said the US delegation consisted of embassy personnel. One said the Yemeni delegation included senior Muscat-based official Mohammad Abdulsalam, who is under US sanctions, while another source confirmed Abdulsalam’s attendance along with senior Ansarallah official Abdelmalik al-Ajiri.

This is another example of sloppy reporting by The Cradle. The source they are uncritically parroting is Reuters, who in turn, are sourcing their claims with three “anonymous sources” aka a tripartite of trite.
There is nothing to verify any of these claims, and if anything, it just doesn’t make sense. Yemen would not need to inform Washington about its targeting of only Saudi ships, as they announced it to the world already. The blockade of Saudi shipping was one of the initial catalysts for Ansarallah eventually escalating to this point.
Bot to mention, other reports from the Cradle contrudict Reuters, such as:
Yemen’s control of Bab al-Mandab Strait ‘deepens crisis’ at Israel’s Eilat Port
Which runs opposite to the Reuters claim that Ansarallah agreed to not target Israeli ships.
The Reuters report is nothing but the imperialists attempt to calm oil markets in any way they can. It’s not dissimilar from them reporting China is pressuring Iran to reign in Ansarallah, when all China did was relay a message from Saudi Arabia to Iran without leveraging their relationship at all.
And Ansarallah have explicitly said they didn’t meet usa in Oman.
❗️Israel, Morocco agree to upgrade diplomatic ties, open embassies
Expand
The foreign ministers of Israel and Morocco have agreed to deepen diplomatic relations, including opening embassies and appointing ambassadors, according to a statement issued on Wednesday by the official Israeli government account in Arabic on X.
Morocco was among four Arab countries, alongside the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Sudan, that moved toward normalizing relations with Israel in 2020 under US-brokered agreements. Israel also maintains peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan.
According to the statement, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita and US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz held a trilateral meeting in New York.
The officials reaffirmed their commitment to several measures aimed at strengthening Israeli-Moroccan relations, including “elevating their respective diplomatic missions to the level of embassies, and appointing ambassadors.”
They also agreed to increase air connections between Israel and Morocco and work toward finalizing agreements designed to facilitate reciprocal investment as well as economic and trade relations.
