🇺🇸🇮🇷🇵🇰⚡- Pakistan has denied President Trump's claim of any upcoming scheduled talks between the U.S. and Iran. Islamabad says itself and Qatar, as mediators, are still working to bring the two sides to the table.
🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡- "Iranian Leadership is unbelievably duplicitous! They ask for a meeting, some would say “beg,” talks begin, with more scheduled in the immediate future, and they say, openly and proudly, that they’re not having any discussions, that nothing is being talked about, and they’re only dealing with “Oman.”
They then go on to give their usual blather in saying, the Strait of Hormuz will be operated powerfully by them, when it is already completely controlled by the United States Navy and our “Blockade” or, as some say, “The United States Wall of Steel!” Nothing gets through to Iran, unless we want it to, and nothing will get through, unless a Deal, or Total Surrender, is accomplished.
Whether Iran wants to admit it or not, we are, in fact, talking of a solution to a problem that they have caused, for decades. It is very simple, IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON! Thank you for your attention to this matter," - President Trump on Truth Social.
🇺🇸⚡- "My REAL Polling Numbers, not those made up by the Fake News Media, are the best they have ever been, and why wouldn’t they be with the biggest tax cuts and employment numbers EVER, the biggest outside Investment in America in World history, a totally secure Border, a giant Victory in Venezuela, the Denuclearization of Iran, unparalleled respect and success throughout the World, and much more? Don’t believe the Radical Left’s Fake Poll numbers. They are Crooked and Corrupt, just like the Country Destroying Dumocrats are Crooked and Corrupt. VOTE REPUBLICAN FOR GREATNESS IN AMERICA! Thank you for your attention to this matter," - President Trump on Truth Social.
Rerum Novarum // Intel, Breaking News, and Alerts 🇺🇸🇾🇪⚡- Sporadic clashes between Ansarullah and Saudi-backed Coalition Forces northeast of Taizz city, Yemen.
🇾🇪⚡- Heavy artillery and rocket fire erupted against Ansarullah positions in the Sahl al-Silsilah axis, Ta'izz direction, southern Yemen.
Initial reports indicate that Ansarullah forces were attempting to infiltrate high ground south of Ar Rahidah. Frontline Ansarullah sources confirm suffering casualties.
Reports also suggest the artillery fire originated from positions held by the al-Islah Party. If confirmed, it would mark a significant turning point in the recent escalation in the Yemeni file since November 2025, bringing one of Yemen's most influential anti-Ansarullah factions directly into the fighting once again. The Muslim Brotherhood affiliate chapter's longstanding network with tribes provides them with major influence across much of Yemen, even within Ansarullah-controlled territory.
Rerum Novarum // Intel, Breaking News, and Alerts 🇺🇸🇪🇹⚡- The TPLF have announced a ban on all civilian movement and vehicle traffic along the Hiwane-Alamata secondary road between Mehoni and Alamata, as well as the A2 Highway between Korem and Alamata.

🇪🇹🇸🇩⚡- TPLF has claimed the recent clashes on the Sherarina Front on August 1st involved Rapid Support Forces elements supporting the Ethiopian military, ENDF.
The claim has not been verified and is likely false. It was likely made to counter a possible Ethiopian accusation that the TPLF's Army 70 and 13 were supported by the Sudanese Armed Forces.
🇺🇸🇮🇶🇰🇼 - On August 2nd, 1990, Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait and occupied the nation in only two days.
After Saddam rejected an ultimatum issued by the UN Security Council, on January 17th, 1991, a coalition force led by the U.S. began an aerial and naval bombardment campaign to liberate Kuwait.
Shortly afterward, a ground force led by CENTCOM commander Norman Schwarzkopf Jr. decisively defeated the Iraqi military, liberated Kuwait, and advanced into Iraqi territory virtually uncontested during a dominant campaign that lasted roughly 100 hours.
🇮🇷🇴🇲⚡- A failed Iranian attack on a civilian tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. A projectile struck the waters near the ship. UKMTO reports the vessel and crew to be safe.
Rerum Novarum // Intel, Breaking News, and Alerts 🇺🇸🇪🇹 - Fighting between the TPLF's Army 70 and Army 13 and the Ethiopian military, ENDF, largely subsided overnight, aside from a few TPLF drone strikes targeting ENDF positions early this morning.

🇪🇹⚡- The TPLF have announced a ban on all civilian movement and vehicle traffic along the Hiwane-Alamata secondary road between Mehoni and Alamata, as well as the A2 Highway between Korem and Alamata.

🇺🇸🫏⚡️- Democrat candidate for U.S. Senate in Texas, James Talarico, nodded along as a Black woman exclaimed, “Karmelo Anthony’s case is just a fucking tragedy,” after he was found guilty of the murder of Austin Metcalf.
