🚨🇾🇪 BREAKING - Yemeni Armed Forces: — In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

The Almighty said: “O you who have believed, if you support Allah, He will support you and plant firmly your feet.” This is the truth of Allah, the Almighty.

In response to the "israeli" enemy’s brutal escalation against our brothers and families in Gaza—committing dozens of massacres each day and inflicting hundreds of victims in a genocide the world has never seen before.

And in response to the continuing siege and starvation, and the enemy’s refusal to halt its aggression and lift its blockade,

The Yemeni Armed Forces, relying on Allah and seeking His aid, have decided—by His grace—to carry out the leadership’s directives and begin enforcing a naval blockade on Haifa Port.

Accordingly, we notify all companies whose vessels are currently in that port or bound for it that, from the moment this statement is issued, Haifa Port has entered our bank of targets, and they must treat what is stated here—and in any future notices—with the utmost seriousness. (emphasis in original)

This decision follows, by Allah’s favor, our successful imposition of a blockade on Umm al-Rashrash Port "Eilat", which has since ceased operations. The Yemeni Armed Forces will not hesitate, with Allah’s help, to take any additional measures necessary in support of our oppressed Palestinian people and their valiant resistance.

All actions and decisions of the Yemeni Armed Forces directed at the "israeli" enemy—whether support operations or restrictions on air and maritime navigation—will cease once the aggression against Gaza stops and the siege is lifted.

Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs; the best protector and the best helper.

Long live Yemen, free, proud, and independent.
Victory to Yemen and to all the free people of the nation.

Poor VOA, can't catch a break these days. /s

Love to see it. Truman has left the Red Sea, and is hiding all the way up at the top of the Suez canal.

The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) successfully targeted an E-2 command and control aircraft belonging to the US aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman, a senior Sanaa government source told Al Mayadeen on Sunday.

According to the source, "The Truman lost command capabilities following the attack, while both the White House and the US Department of Defense (Pentagon) have launched an investigation into the incident."

Resistance still racking up the wins

On January 19th, TIME magazine published an astonishing article, amply confirming what dissident, anti-war academics, activists, journalists, and researchers have long argued. The US always intended to abandon Ukraine after setting up the country for a proxy war with Russia, and never had any desire or intention to assist Kiev in defeating Moscow in the conflict, let alone achieving its maximalist aims of regaining Crimea and restoring the country’s 1991 borders. To have a major mainstream outlet finally corroborate this indubitable reality is a seismic development.

I didn't know I needed this, but seeing these celebrations has me tearing up.

After "israel" hit Sanaa's airport on Thursday, Yemen struck back with a hypersonic that hit Ben Gurion airport in Yafa (tel aviv).

Anyone have more details? Sounds like a rough start for a left government.

The International Monetary Fund revealed Saturday that Sri Lanka's new government has decided to proceed with a contentious IMF bailout proposal that includes strict austerity measures and economic changes.

The IMF reported an agreement with President Anura Kumara Dissanayake's administration to continue with the four-year loan agreed by his predecessor last year. According to IMF team head Peter Breuer, "The authorities have committed to stay within the guardrails of the program."

"Israel" has, since its attacks on Lebanon in 2006 and those on Gaza in 2008 and 2014, used a new nuclear weapon, one which kills with a high temperature radiation flash and with neutrons. ...

"Israel" and the USA (at least) have developed what is almost certainly a mini-neutron bomb. "Israel" is using it in Gaza. And may be using it in Lebanon (again).

EDIT: some important criticisms of the author have been raised in the comments. It's quite possible he's speculating too much from insufficient evidence. However, he does offer the following, which we shouldn't dismiss either:

1. Enriched Uranium was found in Gaza according to this Nature article.
2. A crater from an "israeli" bomb in Lebanon was found to be radioactive (original source was an unnamed Lebanese newspaper in 2006, but it was also discussed in this article in The Independent).
3. Samples from the crater were found to contain enriched uranium (independently verified by the Harwell laboratory, as mentioned by The Independent article in 2).

After fucking around, "israel" is finding out...

According to Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), the US intends to launch a campaign to undermine Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in order to replace him with a more malleable person. According to the agency, former Interior Minister Arsen Avakov is being considered for the job.

In a statement released on Tuesday, the SVR stated that "the American elite" is becoming increasingly unhappy with Zelensky as politicians on both sides of the aisle begin to "doubt the targeted spending of billions of dollars in military aid to Kiev."

Officials stated that Zelensky is engaging in "crazy steps" that threaten escalation "far beyond Ukraine," adding that Kiev “has moved to feverish action” as Zelensky tries to stay in power after the end of his official term in May.
