[IsraelTimes] US president suggests American forces will continue to attack the Iran-backed rebels ‘for a long time’ as fresh strikes reported in capital of Sanaa, elsewhere across Yemen
US President Donald Trump ...So far he's been unkillable, and they've tried.... on Wednesday claimed Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... ’s Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... rebels now "want peace" after more than a week of US Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s, which he said have "been very, very strong."
"The Houthis are looking to do something. They want to know, ’How do we stop? How do we stop? How can we have peace?’ The Houthis want peace because they’re getting the hell knocked out of them," he told news hounds in the Oval Office.
"The Houthis are dying for peace. They don’t want this... They were knocking ships out of the ocean.... In the Suez Canal, they only have about 20% of the ships going through. They have to go through a different way, which takes weeks of travel, and that really affects commerce."
"But the Houthis have been hit hard, and they want to negotiate peace," Trump continued. "The Houthis have been horrible to the world. They’ve killed a lot of people and knocked out a lot of ships and planes and anything else... They have been hit harder than they have ever been."
Houthi-held parts of Yemen have witnessed near-daily attacks that the group has blamed on the United States.
Last week, Trump threatened to annihilate the Houthis and warned Tehran against continuing to aid the rebel group.
In his remarks Wednesday, Trump suggested the US strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen may continue for some time.
"They want us to stop so badly... They’ve got to say, ’No mas.’ But I can only say that the attacks every day, every night... have been very successful beyond our wildest expectations... We’re going to do it for a long time. We can keep it going for a long time," Trump said.
His remarks came as Houthi media reported new US strikes hit the rebel-held capital Sanaa, after earlier reporting 19 American raids elsewhere in Yemen.
"A series of strikes by the US aggression have hit the south and north of the capital," the al-Masirah channel said, without providing further details.
The station had earlier reported 17 raids by the United States "on the Saada governorate," on top of two more on Amran.
The Iran-backed rebels’ news agency, Saba, said "the American aggression targeted the Oncology Hospital building in Saada."
The hospital, which Houthi media said was under construction, was also hit last week. The rebel health ministry said two civilians were maimed in the latest hospital attack, which they described as "a full-fledged war crime."
Early on Wednesday, a Houthi military spokesperson said the group targeted "enemy warships in the Red Sea, led by the US aircraft carrier (USS Harry S.) Truman" blamed for the Yemen strikes.
The rebels also claimed a drone attack on Tel Aviv, but did not specify when it occurred. Israel did not report such an attack.
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin.
[ColonelCassad] 1. "Signal" has not been a secure messenger for a long time. The US intelligence services and a number of NATO countries have full access to it. This was confirmed back in 2023 during the leak of documents from the NATO summit in Vilnius, where Signal was positioned as a "trusted NATO messenger".
2. Back in 2018, it was demonstrated that end-to-end encryption does not protect correspondence and secret group chats. WhatsApp had similar security issues, although the owners of both messengers tried to deny it.
It is important to note that it was in 2018 that one of the creators of WhatsApp (whose owner closely cooperates with the CIA and NSA) began investing in Signal. The encryption protocol implemented in Signal works in all popular instant messengers Microsoft, Meta, Google.
All these companies openly admit that they transfer information to the CIA and NSA (now they complain that "they were forced to", but of course we will not believe them). Since the beginning of 2022, Signal has been headed by the former co-founder of WhatsApp.
At the same time, having access to Signal servers, you can delay the detection of the addition of a new user, making it difficult to determine who added a person to the chat. Of course, having access to the servers, the NSA and the CIA can read any electronic correspondence in the United States, including in supposedly "secret chats"). Here we do not even consider the issues of interception of electronic messages of foreign leaders and politicians, starting with Merkel.
4. The most likely scenario is that US intelligence officers affiliated with Deep State with access to Signal servers secretly added the editor-in-chief of the globalist Atlantic (supposedly by mistake, Waltz) to a secret chat where Trump's team condemned the strikes on Yemen in order to discredit Trump adviser Waltz and the entire Trump team as a whole ("for leaks" and "inadequate level of secrecy"). The technical possibility of doing this has existed since 2018.
Through the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic, who allegedly accidentally got into the chat, a campaign is launched with measured publications of secret correspondence, where the editor-in-chief is part of the legend of this correspondence getting into the public domain.
After this, a prepared information attack by media associated with the Democratic Party and Deep State on the Trump administration begins.
5. The goal of this event is to try to force Waltz to resign (following the example of General Flynn's resignation in 2017, who was also ousted on the topic of "non-compliance with secrecy") and to increase internal unrest in the Trump administration. In the long term, to defeat it in its current composition in order to increase the chances of the Democratic Party winning the 2026 midterm elections. Trump's first team was defeated during a series of such scandals involving the intelligence services during 2017. Now the second series.
P.S. Signal was blocked in Russia on 08/09/2024.
WhatsApp is still operating and continues to serve as a tool for collecting information in the interests of the American intelligence services. The story of Waltz and Co. clearly shows what trust in such tools leads to.
#1
I'm going with #4. Accidents and coincidences, not so much. Unauthorized recipient just happens to be Editor of the Atlantic? Not unlike David Petraeus' attic papers, this was likely a targeted hit job.
The Signal platform is not popular with the Intelligence Community. 'Two birds, one stone.'
#2
I agree, #4 for sure. Waltz has a disloyal staffer (No doubt there are more). The op was to get Waltz and Hegseth to resign. The Trump team needs to circle their wagons and stay united. There will be more attempts made.
I had Signal loaded on my Cell for a while.
I halted regular ITSEC use about 2 years ago.
As it was said to have been compromised by Israeli Grp. called Cellebrite.
Oddly several more dark, than gray hats I know, verified it compromised.
But then there were the official sources jumping in telling us now it was just a rumor?
#5
Folks, I think we respect each others. Let's not kid ourselves.
Hegseth posted info that MUST have been top secret at the time he published it. Many of you have military or intelligence background, and you know it.
Signal is not approved for anything classified, not even at the "confidential" level.
Self deleting messages violate the Federal Records Act. Since VP was in that chat, they would also violate the Presidential Records Act.
The Atlantic probably did America a huge favor. It is quite likely that the Russians and Chinese have cracked Signal, and they would certainly stay silent about it. I suppose Signal will no longer be used, and that's a good thing.
I don't allow any company info to be relayed over Signal (or any other messenger). Guess why?

Even sound end-to-end encryption works only end-to-end. Depending on Witkoff's usage and his location during usage of his phone in Russia "breaking" the encryption could have been done literally by having a small camera peek over his shoulder.
I still think this was deliberate, either to protect some Houthi assets fro Israel in a failure theater operation in deference to Russia, or to send some political message unofficially.
If the strikes were successful this would weaken the failure theater hypothesis. If some targeted assets managed to escape time that would sustain the hypothesis.
So, let's say it was an accident info release and some _ _ _ did not assist.
Either way the Atlantic morally turned its back on the US and our Service people, by this Traitorous act for personal fame and profit.
Were they so Anti-Trump Admin set on revenge seeking, that they did not care about the US service personnel or their family members, that they place in harms way?
Did they stop to think, what if RUSSIA/CHINA/IRAN used that data to wipe out the US military operation?
It seems, they were so hellbent on screwing over Trump Admin people, they even shared it to spread the word. Any idiot would have known it was placing the US and our military in harms way, by doing so.
I hope those involved pay dearly for this traitorous act in the courts.

Quite a few of the parties involved have as much experience with such things as you lot. (Not me, of course, for which we all should be grateful.) It seems to me that a canary trap is plausible, whether aimed at someone in particular —the lawyer who actually tagged the Atlantic editor— or just to surface the fact that there is a canary.
I am not usually cynical, but the fact that it is strongly asserted every time that the editor was included by accident reeks of protesting too much. There is no reason his name should have been on anyone’s address list. Not the principles’, not the aides’, none of them. Not unless someone from the Biden administration preloaded it, and deliberately messed with the name.
#10
Sorry tw, but that doesn't make sense. The supposed "canary" would have known that he'd be immediately exposed by inviting the journalist.
They key issue is rather: Why was highly sensitive info, that just HAD TO BE top secret at the time it was given, shared over a messenger system, that is - for several legal reasons - NOT ALLOWED to be used?
Anyone in the military who would have shared such info with a journalist would be immediately court-martialed.

/\ Info/cyber warfare is very sophisticated. If message content can be manipulated (and we know it can be), so can recipients and distro.
With 300m (+/-) potential US email recipients, this Atlantic fellow gets plugged into distro ?
#13
I would really appreciate if one member with a military background would be so kind to answer my question. How could Hegseth's detailed info about the immediate attacks not be classified info?
My son, who served in Afghanistan, did answer that question, of course. His reply would probably be eaten by your word filter.

Should have, yes, and reportedly was. But the Left and the NeverTrump right really do hold as an article of faith that all those horrible MAGA Trumpsters are mentally retarded, cousin-marrying, toothless rednecks — JD Vance, PhD, Vivek Ramaswamy (who like JD is a Cincinnati local), Elon Musk, and President Trump’s large collection of Successful Very Rich People to the contrary. I am privy to more of those conversations than I would like, with people I otherwise love and respect; it's very annoying to those of us who are reasonably bright and have all our teeth.
#15
Well that's what I find curious, all the outrage about a high level messaging coordination discussion and not the outrage that it was snooped on.
Some wanna be in an established hack magazine got butterfingered into this chat is not believable. And on the heels of 2 weeks of trying to play gotchya with that glorified Pentagon budget pitch?
#16
How could Hegseth's detailed info about the immediate attacks not be classified info?
An interesting question. I've heard the transcript has been released, but have not looked at it.
Worth noting is that Signal was approved by the Brandon administration and came pre-installed on multiple devices. I know, not exactly a recommendation, but a fact nevertheless.
Message content by the originator (originator holding classification/de-classification authority) may have been judged to be a non-issue or low risk due to events timeline and limited distribution.
The addition of an unauthorized rogue media recipient via Offensive Info-Warfare methodology was obviously not anticipated. These SOB's are supposed to be on our side,
'Top Level People talking about hush hush things gets snooped on, so they should be prosecuted because they discussed hush hush things.' is an interesting take.
If they were talking about, say, selling US weapons under the table to dubious or even terrorist designated middle east war tribes, selling firearms to Mexican cartels, or other illegal or blatantly immoral activity, one could make a whistleblower case. This conversation has all the drama of how to pick up a first down on 3rd and 1 with Refrigerator Perry and Walter Payton on the roster.
Aren’t they required to apply for asylum in the first country they arrive to? In this case, that would be Belarus.
[BBC] Poland has temporarily suspended the right of migrants arriving in Poland via its border with Belarus to apply for asylum.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced it would be happening after the controversial bill, which will allow Polish authorities to suspend this right for up to 60 days at a time, was signed into law by President Andrzej Duda.
Tusk had said it would be adopted "without a moment's delay" while Duda said the changes were needed to strengthen security on the country's borders.
But the law has been criticized by rights groups including Human Rights Watch, which said the EU should take legal action against Poland if it was implemented.
The group urged the country's parliament last month to reject the bill, saying it "flies in the face of Poland's international and EU obligations" and could "effectively completely seal off the Poland-Belarus border, where Polish authorities already engage in unlawful and abusive pushbacks".
The government said previously the suspension would only be applied temporarily to people who pose a threat to state security, for example "large groups of aggressive migrants trying to storm the border".
Exemptions will be made for unaccompanied minors, pregnant women, the elderly or unwell, anyone exposed to "real risk of serious harm" by being returned and citizens of countries accused of conducting the instrumentalization of migration - like Belarus
Tusk has dismissed criticism from human rights groups.
"Nobody is talking about violating human rights, the right to asylum, we are talking about not granting applications to people who illegally cross the border in groups organised by Lukashenko," he said in October.
[FoxNews] New York City arts college, The Cooper Union, is attempting to thwart the Trump administration’s efforts to deport foreign students accused of supporting Hamas, a campus-wide email obtained by Fox News Digital revealed.
"The news of the arrest by federal agents of a Columbia University graduate and the raid of two Columbia University dorm rooms in the last week is deeply troubling," the email began, sent by Associate Dean of Students Grace Kendall and Vice President for Enrollment Troy Kogburn.
"In addition, the State Department announced a new effort to utilize AI to review student visa holders’ social media accounts to identify individuals who appear to support Hamas or other designated terror groups. Please know that we are monitoring these situations closely," it continued.
The email went on to warn students with "less secure" immigration status about the risks associated with protest activity and social media posts about protest activity. It also announced that the administration would be distributing "Know Your Rights" pamphlets to assist students who fear deportation, and listed members of faculty who could provide assistance.
If this gets the vicious idiots to stop their “protests” and to stop attacking those they assume to be Jewish, and to be considerably more circumspect in their social media posts and social associations, I am all for it. The goal is not kicking them out of the country, but to get them and their fellow travelers to act as if they were civilized. Although actually this lot have already so badly misbehaved that all this will do is improve the school atmosphere until they’ve been picked up and kicked out. But at least those who follow will understand the risks and act accordingly.
"The Cooper Union does not tolerate nor support endorsement of terrorist groups or their actions. Our focus is 100% on supporting our full community of students, including international students. The purpose of our communication was not to endorse any student actions or positions, but rather to educate our students so they can make informed decisions," a representative for Cooper Union told Fox News Digital.
The university has emerged as a symbol of the nationwide antisemitic surge on college campuses. In October 2023, weeks after Hamas launched their brutal terrorist attack which saw the most Jews killed on a single day since the Holocaust, Jewish students were forced to take refuge in a library as they were surrounded by an unruly mob of anti-Israel demonstrators who beat on the doors and banged on the windows of the space.
The Lower East Side school was harshly reprimanded by a Manhattan judge last month after it argued a lawsuit brought by students in the matter should be dismissed on the grounds that they should have left the building or hid in a room above the library.

To all NON-US CITIZENS in the USA, supporting HAMAS, a known US DHS/FBI/DOJ listed Terrorist group that brags of it murders, child rapes, kidnapping Group and more.
If you assault, occupy a building, keep others from attending school, vandalize properties, vehicles, arson, toss firebombs, block emergency traffic, and hold people against their will.
Consider yourself lucky IF you are only deported and banned from returning. An don't have to spend time in prison, where you will likely end up being a much loved shower room play toy.
The above suggests they are only interested in legal immigrants, which very likely is not true. At least until now — at some point in the near future it no doubt will become illegal to unionize illegal aliens, no matter how well intentioned.
[UKDEFENCEJOURNAL] The United States has now moved at least seven B-2A Spirit stealth bombers to Diego Garcia, significantly expanding its military presence at the remote British-controlled island in the Indian Ocean.
This marks a further escalation in the ongoing preparations for large-scale military action, potentially targeting Houthi forces in Yemen and, as some analysts suggest, Iranian military infrastructure.
This continued buildup follows last week’s airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen—described as the largest U.S. military operation in the Middle East since President Donald Trump took office in January 2025. The Houthis claim at least 53 people were killed in the latest round of strikes, while the U.S. has reiterated its intent to continue operations until Houthi attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea cease.
The activity was first reported by open-source intelligence (OSINT) specialist “IntelFrog” on X (formerly Twitter), who has been using publicly available aircraft tracking data to monitor movements of military assets. IntelFrog initially reported that 18 U.S. Air Force KC-135 tankers were staged at key locations across the Pacific—including Travis AFB in California, Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Hawaii, and Andersen AFB in Guam.
These tankers, operating under sequential RCH0## call signs, were followed by flights to Diego Garcia, where multiple C-17A Globemaster III aircraft have also been tracked arriving in recent days. The arrival of these cargo planes indicates a substantial logistics effort—likely involving the delivery of personnel, munitions, and support equipment required for long-range bomber operations.
IntelFrog’s verified flight data now shows at least seven B-2 stealth bombers on or en route to the island, a highly unusual concentration of the platform in one location. These aircraft, which are capable of penetrating sophisticated air defences, are typically reserved for high-value strategic missions and are rarely deployed in such numbers.
The increased military presence comes amid warnings from U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, who has made clear that airstrikes will continue for as long as Houthi aggression disrupts global shipping lanes. A U.S. official speaking to Reuters stated the operation may continue “for weeks,” suggesting the buildup is part of a sustained campaign rather than a short-term show of force.
Houthi attacks on vessels in the Red Sea have caused serious disruption to global trade, prompting multiple shipping companies to divert vessels around the Cape of Good Hope. The U.S. sees freedom of navigation in the Red Sea as a strategic imperative, and recent movements suggest an effort to neutralise Houthi launch capabilities and, potentially, to deter Iranian interference in the wider region.
The arrival of the seventh B-2A bomber raises the stakes considerably.
Diego Garcia has long played a crucial role in U.S. strategic bomber operations, having hosted B-52 and B-1 missions during the Gulf War, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Its remote location and long runway make it a key forward operating base for long-range operations, especially when regional basing options are constrained by diplomatic or security concerns.
The deployment of at least seven B-2s, combined with a logistics tail of tankers and transports, represents a highly flexible and potent strike capability. It also signals a return to Diego Garcia’s historic role as a launchpad for power projection across the Middle East and South Asia.
As of now, the U.S. Department of Defense has not formally confirmed the purpose of the deployment. However, the scale, timing, and composition of forces all suggest a significant new phase in the campaign against the Houthis, and possibly beyond.
Courtesy of NoMoreBS, Zero Hedge has more on the build up, adding this very interesting perspective:
Most Americans have never heard of the tiny 38-mile-long island, nor has any journalist been allowed access in over three decades. The island features a runway long enough to accommodate B-52, B-1, and B-2 bombers and massive C-5M, C-17, and C-130 military cargo planes. The U.S. hosts upwards of 5,000 military personnel and civilian contractors on the secretive island, which is considered a lynchpin of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East and across the Indo-Pacific.
Counterpunch's Conn Hallinan noted in 2019: "Diego Garcia is central to the U.S. war in Somalia, its air attacks in Iraq and Syria, and its control of the Persian Gulf, and would be essential in any conflict with Iran."
Meanwhile, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz recently confirmed that the Trump Administration demanded the "full dismantlement" of Iran's nuclear program, including its capacity to enrich uranium for civilian use. Russia issued a statement rejecting U.S. demands, saying Tehran has the right to a peaceful nuclear program.
What happens if Tehran doesn't play ball with Trump? Well, stealth bombers parked on the tarmac at Diego Garcia should be a huge concern.
[IsraelTimes] An Egyptian proposal to end renewed fighting in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... would see five living hostages released on the first day of the restored ceasefire, with another five living hostages released every 7-10 days, two foreign diplomats with knowledge of the details told The Times of Israel on Wednesday.
Dual US-Israeli citizen Edan Alexander would be released on the first day, said the diplomats.
The Prime Minister’s Office has denied receiving any new Egyptian proposal.
According to the diplomats, the IDF would withdraw to the positions it held during the first phase of the ceasefire that collapsed earlier this month. Israeli troops held a buffer zone inside the border with Gaza and were stationed on the Philadelphi Corridor, but had withdrawn from the Netzarim Corridor dividing the Strip in two.
Since the resumption of fighting in Gaza last week, IDF ground troops have reoccupied part of the Netzarim corridor.
However,
a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth... under the Egyptian proposal, the sides would negotiate over the IDF’s withdrawal from the Philadelphi Corridor, which runs along the Gazook side of the border with Egypt.
The outlines also guaranteed that negotiations over Phase Two of the ceasefire would take place, something Israel had avoided engaging in despite agreeing to do so.
Israel would release hundreds of Paleostinian prisoners under the Egyptian plan as well.
Mid-level Israeli teams have made multiple trips to Cairo over the past two weeks to discuss the proposal, according to one of the diplomats.
Egypt presented the proposal last week, security sources told Rooters on Monday, with a Hamas ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... official saying that the terror group had "responded positively" to the idea.
The security sources added that the US also agreed to Egypt’s plan, but an Israeli official denied on Monday that Jerusalem had received any such proposal.
According to the Israeli official, Israel is still trying to get Hamas to agree to a US-backed proposal spearheaded by Trump’s special envoy to the Mideast, Steve Witkoff, which would not entail a full Israeli withdrawal from the Strip.
The narrower "Witkoff proposal" rejected by Hamas thus far, would have seen the ceasefire extended through April 19 and have the terror group release five living hostages in exchange for a large number of Paleostinian security prisoners.
Israel said it accepted Witkoff’s proposal but was seeking the release of 11 living hostages.
If Hamas does not agree to Israel’s terms, "we will keep increasing the pressure until Hamas breaks," the official said on Monday, threatening "a widespread ground campaign" in Gaza.
It sounds like Israel is not interested in anything less than all the hostages and Hamas entirely gone, not just officially stepping away from the reins of power while playing the power behind the throne for whoever steps up to hold the scepter.
[IsraelTimes] Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar says Israel has not ruled out negotiating a ceasefire extension with the Hamas terror group in Gaza, but that there is limited time to do so.
“Alongside the IDF’s still-limited operations in Gaza, we are still allowing space for dialogue aimed at reaching an agreement to extend the ceasefire and release the hostages — but we will not wait forever,” Sa’ar tells Swedish Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard, according to a statement put out by his office.
During meetings at the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem today, Sa’ar briefed his counterpart on Israel’s resumed military operations in the Gaza Strip, which began last week after the first phase of a hostage-prisoner exchange ended on March 2.
“Hamas, which insists on continuing to hold the hostages and refuses to demilitarize the Gaza Strip, is pushing for the resumption of war in Gaza,” he says.
“If the Arabs put down their weapons, there will be no more war. But if Israel puts down its weapons, there will be no more Israel,” Sa’ar continues, quoting late prime minister Golda Meir.
“Israel will no longer tolerate the ongoing threat from the Gaza Strip to its security and citizens,” he tells Stenergard, according to the Foreign Ministry.
[IsraelTimes] If the trial is successful, Israel said to hope thousands will follow and possibly permanently resettle in south Asian country
A first group of 100 Gazooks is set to fly to Indonesia for work as part of a pilot program to encourage the voluntary migration of Paleostinians from the Strip, according to a Hebrew media report Wednesday.
The program will be run by Maj. Gen. Ghassan Alian, who heads the Coordinator for Government Activities in the Territories, a Defense Ministry body known by its acronym COGAT, Channel 12 news reported.
The report added that the Gazooks will likely be employed in construction.
Israel reportedly hopes that if the pilot program is successful, thousands of Gazooks will be encouraged to voluntarily move to Indonesia for work and potentially decide to permanently resettle in the country — which would require Jakarta’s consent.
Since Israel and Indonesia — the world’s largest Moslem country — do not have diplomatic relations, a special communication channel was opened between Jerusalem and Jakarta to develop the program, the report said.
If the pilot is successful, a "migration administration" being established by the government will become responsible for the program, according to the report.
Defense Minister Israel Katz, responsible for the administration, is likely to appoint Brig. Gen. (res.) Ofer Winter, a controversial senior officer in the military who is beloved by the national religious community, to lead the project.
According to a United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale... analysis from September, over two-thirds of Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... ’s structures have been damaged or destroyed during the war sparked on October 7, 2023, when Hamas ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... rampaged through southern Israel, killing 1,200 people and abducting 251 hostages.
US President Donald Trump ...They hit him with slander, they impeached him twice. Nancy Pelosi tore up his State of the Union address on national TV. They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down... triggered global perplexity in early February by suggesting the US "take over" Gaza and turn it into a "Middle East Riviera" while forcing its Paleostinian inhabitants to relocate to Egypt, Jordan, or other countries. He said this month, however, that no Gazooks would be expelled.
While senior ministers in the government who have urged using the war as an opportunity to reestablish Israeli settlements in the Strip lauded the plan, the Paleostinian Authority and Arab nations rejected it outright.
Earlier this month, two key Arab nations’ organizations instead endorsed an Egyptian counterproposal for rehabilitating Gaza that is based on leaving inhabitants in place.
Despite public opposition among the region’s leaders, the government has moved forward with plans to encourage Paleostinians to relocate.
In January, The Times of Israel’s sister site, Zman Israel, reported that the coalition was conducting secret contacts with Congo and other nations for accepting thousands of immigrants colonists from Gaza.
[HodhodYemenNews] The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) unveiled on Tuesday an underground “missile city” containing tunnels filled with thousands of precision-guided missiles of various types, including the ‘Khaybarshegan’, ‘Sejjil’, ‘Emad,’ and ‘Haj Qasem.’
Iranian media reported that the new city was unveiled in the presence of Major General Mohammad Hossein Bagheri and Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh.
During the event, Major General Bagheri emphasized the rapid development of Iran’s missile capabilities, noting the continued strengthening of defenses and progress beyond the operation known as “True Promise II,” with a significant portion of the planned implementation completed.
Iran’s military chief claims capabilities are now 10 times stronger than thoseused in October missile attack on Israel; several Iranian-made missiles identified in footage
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps revealed one of its underground "missile cities" to Iranian media outlets Wednesday, as tensions with the West boiled over its nuclear program.
An Israeli flag could be seen placed on the ground in the footage at the unveiling — a practice common in the Islamic Theocratic Republic that allows people to trample the flag as an offense against the Jewish state.
Chief of Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces, Mohammad Bagheri, and the commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force, Amir Ali Hajizadeh, were present in the footage, touring around on vehicles and speaking to personnel at the undisclosed location.
Bagheri told personnel during the tour of the base that "Iran’s iron fist is far stronger than before," and claimed that Tehran was developing its defensive capabilities faster than its rivals, as quoted by Press TV.
"The enemy will definitely fall behind in this balance of power," he said.
"All the [defensive] dimensions that are required for generating a [military] capability that is 10 times [greater than] the one deployed during Operation True Promise II, has been created," Bagheri added, mentioning Iran’s name for its second missile attack on Israel in October.
Iranian media outlets identified several domestically produced missiles in the footage, including the "Emad," a missile with a range of up to 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles); "Sejil" with 1,500-2,500 kilometers (930 to 1,550 miles); "Qadr H" with 1,700 kilometers (1,056 miles); "Kheibar Shekan," with 1,450 kilometers (900 miles) and "Haj Qassem," with 1,400 kilometers (870 miles).
Iranian media outlets said the base was new, but such a claim could not be verified.
Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.

In both instances, the Iranian assaults were largely thwarted by Israel’s air defenses in cooperation with the US and its regional allies. Israel twice bombed Iran in response, the second time destroying much of its air defense systems as well as some rocket and drone manufacturing sites.
Amid growing concern in the West over Iran’s continued nuclear enrichment, US President Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... sent the Islamic republic’s leadership a letter offering talks for a new nuclear deal earlier this month while restoring a sanctions campaign and threatening military action if diplomacy is unsuccessful.
The letter was delivered to Tehran on March 12 by UAE presidential adviser Anwar Gargash.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi said Monday the door was open for "indirect negotiation" on the matter but dismissed the prospect of direct talks "until there is a change in the other side’s approach toward the Islamic republic."
The top Iranian diplomat said Tehran would not engage in direct talks with Washington under threats so long as Trump maintains his "maximum pressure" policy of economic sanctions.
Iran, which is sworn to Israel’s destruction, denies seeking a nuclear weapon, but it has ramped up its enrichment of uranium up to 60 percent purity, the only country in the world without a nuclear weapons program to do so, and has obstructed international inspectors from checking its nuclear facilities.
I guess the IDF has more work to do to get them to accept defeat, or destroy enough that their defiance is immaterial.
[IsraelTimes] Hamas official says war has not broken Palestinians’ will; Houthi chief vows attacks to continue, while Hezbollah leader insists ‘no room for normalization’
Leaders from the Iran-backed axis of resistance sworn to the destruction of Israel struck a defiant tone on Wednesday ahead of an annual Tehran-sponsored pro-Paleostinian commemoration later this week, Hezbollah’s al-Manar television reported.

The ongoing Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... war was sparked by Hamas’s October 7, 2023, massacre in southern Israel, when Hamas-led bully boyz massacred some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and took 251 hostages.

They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... rebels, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, said his group would continue to support the Paleostinian people "without retreat," al-Manar reported.
The Houthis have launched scores of drone and missile attacks at Israel, as well as ships passing Yemen in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden during the war — vessels with no known Israeli connections — saying they are acting out of solidarity with the Paleostinians.

Under the ceasefire, Hezbollah was obligated to pull its forces north of the Litani River, about 30 kilometers (18.6 miles) from the Israeli border, and dismantle any remaining military infrastructure in the south, while the Lebanese army deploys to control the area.
Israel, in parallel, was obligated to withdraw its forces from southern Lebanon, though it retains the right to respond to immediate threats.
Following an initial postponement, with US and Lebanese approval, of the deadline to withdraw, Israel pulled all its troops out of Lebanon in February, except five strategic posts along the border.
"The prisoners must be released," Qassem said, referring to those captured by Israel during the war, adding: "There is no room for normalization or surrender in Lebanon."
The 2023-2024 conflict severely weakened Hezbollah, which saw a slew of senior commanders killed, including its longtime chief His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah ...The late, lamented satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...> . In agreeing to the November ceasefire, the terror group gave up on its initial promise to only end its attacks once Israel’s operation in Gaza came to an end.
Esmail Qaani, commander of the Islamic Revolutioanry Guard Corps’ expeditionary Quds Force, said that "the Islamic republic has always stood and continues to stand alongside the Paleostinian people in defense of the holy al-Quds [Jerusalem]," in his speech, also aired by Iranian state television ... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?"God willing, this steadfastness will continue until the final victory of liberation and the reaching to al-Quds," he added.
