🇾🇪🇸🇦| Nearly 2 months after the Saudi-Yemeni war, following Saudi Arabia’s attacks on Sanaa airport to stop an Iranian passenger plane from landing, there are documented damage at 10 oil facilities across KSA + damage at 3 air bases, including King Khalid in Khamis Mushait and King Fahd in Taif.
History books will write how Saudi’s egoism, for not wanting an Iranian passenger plane to land, costed them billions of dollars of damages and counting.

❗️South Korea rules out military deployment as US aggression on Iran continues
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung said Seoul will not deploy troops or military assets in a way that could draw the country into the US-Israeli war on Iran, reaffirming that its military will not participate in combat operations.
“There will be no deployment of troops that involves or intervenes in a war,” Lee said during a recent press conference.
Lee said South Korea’s position on military deployments would remain unchanged, while indicating that the government is considering whether to expand its role in safeguarding navigation through the Strait of Hormuz as disruptions to global energy supplies continue.
❗️Saudi Arabia requested Syrian fighters to counter Ansarallah, says report

Syria has rejected a formal Saudi request to organize and deploy Syrian fighters to Yemen, according to Syrian sources cited exclusively by Turkiye Today.
Sources said Riyadh had spent months seeking military personnel to address its needs in Yemen, but Damascus declined, saying it was focused on reorganizing its own military and would not enter the fighting as a third party.
The sources said Syria was not preventing individuals from travelling abroad to participate independently, but Damascus would not assume responsibility for such involvement.
Turkish sources also denied claims that Ankara had organized or transported Syrian fighters to Yemen, while regional sources said reports of Syrians travelling as part of teams operating alongside Turkish personnel were “completely untrue.”
Saudi Arabia is reportedly continuing to seek military personnel and instructors from several countries, with Pakistan among those where recruitment efforts have gained traction.
Turkiye Today reported that unconfirmed claims also point to recruitment efforts in North African countries, while sources said any Turkish or Pakistani involvement under the Mecca pact would focus on ‘defensive’ missions and the protection of strategic infrastructure rather than ground operations against Ansarallah.

⭕️ Four commodity vessels passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, down from six the previous day and well below the 10-day average of around 16, preliminary shipping data showed on Friday.

Kpler data showed that three of the four vessels were entering the strait toward the Gulf, while one was heading out, as of 02:00 GMT. The ships consisted of two Panamax tankers, one Supramax vessel and one Kamsarmax vessel.
Three liquefied natural gas carriers also reappeared outside the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, according to Kpler.
Al-Daayen and Al-Samriya, both carrying cargoes loaded at Qatar’s Ras Laffan, were last detected inside the strait on 13 and 14 September, respectively. Both are now outside the waterway, with Al-Samriya controlled by QatarEnergy and Al-Daayen owned and managed by Seapeak.
The third vessel, Marigold LNG, operated by Kratos Gas Transport, is signaling an arrival at India’s Dabhol port after loading at Das Island in the United Arab Emirates.
Vortexa reported on Wednesday that the QatarEnergy-linked vessel Al-Rayyan carried out a so-called dark ship-to-ship (STS) transfer with another Qatari carrier off Oman’s coast. The term refers to a transfer in which the vessels have their transponders switched off, although Vortexa did not specify when the operation took place.
Kpler data indicated that Al-Rayyan conducted an STS transfer with a vessel named Al-Mashabiyyah on 13 September.
Meanwhile, 23 commodity vessels transited the Bab al-Mandab Strait on Thursday. Of those vessels, 13 were heading toward the Red Sea and 10 toward the Gulf of Aden. They included one Panamax tanker, one Suezmax tanker, four Supramax vessels and six Aframax tankers.
Thursday’s traffic was below the 10-day average of around 26 vessels using the strait.
