🇬🇧🇸🇦 UK CLOSE TO BACKING SAUDI ARABIA AGAINST HOUTHIS – Drawn Into Another Yemen War

Prime Minister Andy Burnham is leaning toward offering military support to Saudi Arabia – including possible aerial refueling – as the kingdom comes under frequent Houthi attack. It would be one of his first major military decisions since taking office.

🇬🇧 The UK may provide aerial‑refueling support to the Saudi military – and will lobby other nations to do the same.

🎯 London claims aiding Riyadh would stabilise the region and reduce threats to ships in the Bab‑el‑Mandeb Strait.

🇺🇸 The US has so far refused to provide military support beyond intelligence – it wants to wind down the Iran war and avoid new escalation.

🇾🇪💥 HOUTHI LEADER CHALLENGES SAUDI SYMPATHIZERS: "Would You Accept What Yemen Has Endured?"

In a powerful address, Abdul‑Malik al‑Houthi has exposed the hypocrisy of nations that shed tears for Saudi oil facilities while ignoring Yemen's suffering – and laid out the legal and moral case for resistance.

🗣️ "Will they accept the restrictions imposed on commercial imports to our country – requiring them to remain for months in other countries for inspection, scrutiny, and arbitrary procedures, piece by piece? As a result, these goods do not reach our markets except at exorbitant prices?"

💰 "Will you also accept the restrictions that deprive them of their oil and gas wealth and their public resources – and that they remain completely deprived of them?"

🇮🇷🏅 IRAN AT THE ASIAN GAMES: Sports Diplomacy and the "Look East" Strategy

🇷🇺💪 PESKOV: Russia Has Adapted to 30,000+ Sanctions – "We Have No Disputes with Europe"

The Kremlin has delivered a message of resilience and restraint: Russia has weathered the West's sanctions storm, and it poses no threat to Europe. The real threat, Peskov says, is NATO itself.

📊 Russia has adapted to over 30,000 sanctions – and found ways to minimise their impact.

🌍 Trading partners have "unanimously" rejected the US policy of imposing "hellish sanctions" on Moscow.

🇪🇺 "No disagreements with European countries that could be a source of conflict." Moscow distinguishes between disputes with individual states and its opposition to NATO's policies.

🚢 On NATO: The bloc is integrating commercial shipping networks into its operations – making it an "instrument for confrontation."

The US Vice President says the quiet part out loud: Washington wants to distract from its own failures by blaming Iran for high gas prices.

🇹🇷🇺🇸 Türkiye is seeking a way out of the CAATSA–S-400 dispute ahead of Erdogan-Trump talks.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said Ankara and Washington are exploring “creative ideas” to resolve the S-400 issue and lift US defence sanctions on Türkiye.

Fidan said CAATSA sanctions remain an obstacle for Türkiye’s Presidency of Defence Industries, while details of the proposed solutions have not been disclosed.

The dispute dates back to Türkiye’s purchase of Russia’s S-400 air defence system. Washington imposed CAATSA sanctions in 2020 and removed Türkiye from the F-35 programme in 2019.

Trump had pledged in July to lift the sanctions, saying the US does not want to sanction its allies.
