The Houthis have published a statement warning airlines against operating in Saudi Arabian airspace, stating carriers should "take our warnings seriously" until what they describe as the blockade of Sana'a International Airport is lifted.
The message follows yesterday's missile attack by Saudi Arabia targeting Sana'a International Airport and raising tensions in civilian aviation in the region. The Houthis have issued similar aviation threats in the past against Israel.

NEW: Oman’s foreign minister:
• Long held assumptions about Gulf security, including relations with the United States, should be reassessed.
• Called the Iran war “a war that should never have taken place.”
• Said Oman will work with Iran to establish a realistic, durable, and international law compliant framework to guarantee freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
• Argued Iran was never an existential threat, claiming “the greatest threats to Gulf security originate outside the region, particularly from Tel Aviv.”
• Described the war as “a catastrophe.”

U.S. REFUELING TANKERS CAPPED AT BEN GURION AIRPORT
Transportation Minister Miri Regev says Israel will cap the number of U.S. refueling tankers at Ben Gurion Airport to 20.
“We promised that we will enable commercial flights and we will not cancel a single ticket because of American refueling planes.”
“Therefore I have given instructions that we will not allow any US refueling tankers to land at Ben Gurion Airport beyond the agreed number of 20 planes and the remaining planes will land at Air Force bases.”

Translated from Persian:
According to our verified information from the military establishment inside Iran:
Between 80 and 90 percent of the regime's radar, maritime, and air surveillance facilities in the Persian Gulf region have been destroyed.
Between 90 and 95 percent of the IRGC and army's large and small naval vessels in the Persian Gulf region have been destroyed.
Between 70 and 80 percent of the IRGC and army's ammunition and fortified defense facilities in the Persian Gulf region have been destroyed.
A superficial conclusion without going into details:
Iran is currently in the Persian Gulf region completely exposed and paralyzed in terms of enemy tracking and surveillance, with no defensive capabilities left for any ground offensive maneuver.
In other words, command, control, coordination, defensive and offensive ammunition facilities will no longer suffice for a cohesive ground offensive.
Communication lines between forces on the mainland and the islands have been lost, and conversations via mobile phones are highly insecure.
Intelligence and operational warning:
There is a possibility that a limited amphibious offensive operation is underway.
Potential targets: Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb, and Abu Musa, Larak, parts of Sirik, or even Qeshm and Kharg.

Oman wants to charge a fee for this "freedom of navigation" also.

Yet that is the only thing that will guarantee that Iran gives up their nuclear ambitions.

Iranians are forming armed groups to defend their communities and fight against the Islamic Republic.
Send a few Ukrainian from their drone warfare groups in to help guide them.

Trump has reversed course on the 20% cargo toll for the Strait of Hormuz, just 24 hours after proposing it.
Trump: "Based on highly productive conversations with Middle East leadership, I have decided to replace the 20% United States Reimbursement Fee with Trade and Investment Deals that the various Gulf States will be making into the United States."

"This way, there's no fee. I don't like the concept of a fee, but at the same time, it's not fair that we're protecting this straight for the entire world, for China and everyone!"
"I don't mind protecting it for China. I don't mind protecting it for anybody, but it's unfair that we're not in somehow compensated. And we've been doing this for many years."
"It bothered me 25 years ago, it bothered me. During my first term, I was doing things like, you have to invest in the United States. But by doing it that way, there's no fee."
"They're investing, and they're getting a return on their money, and it's good. But they're going to be making massive investments into the United States, and I like that much better."

"'We'd like to invest as opposed to a fee.' And I like that because NOBODY should be able to charge a fee for the Strait."
"As a reimbursement, the Gulf states will invest a TREMENDOUS amount of money into the US. It's actually much better!"

IRAN: Kish Island (Iran) authorities say a U.S. projectile struck near the island’s main water and power complex, impacting the area around electricity generation units.
Officials said engineers are assessing the damage and warned that some generating units could be taken out of service, making “temporary and scheduled” power outages likely.
The company added that 7 projectiles hit the island early Tuesday and said multiple vessels were damaged in the port area by the blasts.
