🇵🇸🇱🇧 BRICS has issued some of its strongest collective language yet on Palestine and Lebanon in the new New Delhi Declaration.
On Palestine, BRICS explicitly rejects the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza and warns against any political or security arrangement that could prejudice their “inalienable rights” or “legitimize or prolong occupation” (Board of Peace).
The bloc reaffirms the Palestinian right to self-determination and the right of return, supports Palestine becoming a full member of the United Nations, and calls for an independent and sovereign Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, encompassing Gaza and the West Bank, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
BRICS also rejects “any attempt at temporary or permanent forced displacement” of Palestinians and any effort to alter Gaza’s territory or demographic composition.
Perhaps most significantly, the declaration states plainly:
“We reiterate that international law and international judicial bodies demand the end of the illegal occupation.”
The declaration condemns starvation as a method of warfare, attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure, and restrictions on humanitarian assistance. It reiterates support for UNRWA and references the proceedings before the International Court of Justice concerning Israel’s obligations under the Genocide Convention.
On Lebanon, the language is equally direct.
BRICS condemns continued violations of Lebanon’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and ceasefire arrangements and explicitly calls Israeli troops remaining on Lebanese territory “occupying forces.”
“We call on Israel to respect the terms agreed with the Lebanese government and to withdraw its occupying forces from all of the Lebanese territories, in which they remain.”
BRICS also reiterates its support for Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, backs UNIFIL and condemns attacks against UN peacekeepers and their facilities.
This is significant because it isn’t simply a statement from Russia, Iran, China or another individual member.
This is consensus language adopted by BRICS as a bloc in New Delhi rejecting the forced displacement of Palestinians, demanding an end to the “illegal occupation,” reaffirming Palestinian statehood with East Jerusalem as its capital, and explicitly demanding that Israel withdraw its “occupying forces” from Lebanon.

Frankly speaking, strong words don’t really rouse much from me, especially considering only Iran seems to be willing to ift a finger actually aiding the Palestinian cause directly.
🇸🇦🇺🇸❌😌🇾🇪一 Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman made two calls to Trump on Thursday, urging him to launch US strikes against Ansar Allah in Yemen as they advance towards the Bab al-Mandab Strait; however, Trump refused, while Washington will provide Riyadh with intelligence and data to identify targets, according to Axios
@SimurghRes
A specter is haunting the Whitehouse, the specter of Ansarallah.
🇮🇷❌️🇺🇸 Urgent warning from Iran’s Navy in response to the attack on Iranian tankers by terrorist CENTCOM.
The Sepah (IRGC) Navy:
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, and thanks be to God, the Almighty and Merciful…
Urgent warning: In view of the crimes committed by the terrorist US army by targeting several oil tankers belonging to the Islamic Republic of Iran, we warn all tanker crews in the ports of Kuwait and Bahrain, which serve as bases for these terrorists and are complicit in their crimes, to immediately leave their ships.
They must quickly depart from the docks or ports, as they will be targeted. Victory belongs only to God, the Forgiving and the Wise."

— 🇸🇦/🇵🇰 NEW: Saudi Arabia has reportedly called upon Pakistani assistance against the Houthis as part of the Mecca Defense Treaty
Pakistan refused, stating that the pact does not cover ‘pre-existing conditions’ such as the Yemeni civil war, and that only ‘new wars’ count.

🇶🇦 Majed al-Nasari, Qatari foreign ministry spokesperson, says the US military presence in the region is “not enough” anymore.
He says instead of calling for the US to reinforce its position, Qatar advocates self-sufficiency, diversification in the security realm and for the Persian Gulf Arab states to be responsible for their own defence.
**Iran’s been saying this for 47 years, BTW.

🇾🇪❌️🇸🇦 The most significant spoils captured by Yemeni forces on the West Coast include advanced surveillance systems and naval radars.
Among these systems is the French Thales CoastWatcher 100, capable of monitoring and analyzing vessel movements at ranges exceeding 150 nautical miles.
Other captured equipment includes Hensoldt Spexer/SharpEye radars -capable of detecting small maritime targets- the Israeli ELM-2226 ACSR coastal radar, as well as submerged sensors and long-range thermal cameras.

🇾🇪🇸🇦 BREAKING!! LARGE FIRE NEAR MEDINA ALONG THE EAST-WEST PIPELINE!!!
Satellite fire data is showing multiple major thermal anomalies along the corridor of Saudi Arabia’s strategic East-West oil pipeline south of Medina.
The Petroline is currently Saudi Arabia’s critical lifeline for moving crude to Yanbu and bypassing the Strait of Hormuz.
Yemeni sources are reporting that a pumping facility along the route is burning.

🇾🇪❌️🇸🇦 Ansarullah government forces succeed in liberating the southwestern part of the Taiz region.
Control over this area is of vital importance to ensure the security of the Bab al-Mandab Strait, to monitor and target convoys arriving from Lahj, and to establish a blockade of the city of Taiz from the south.
@SimurghRes
—❗️🇾🇪/🇸🇦 UPDATE: The remaining PLC soldiers in Greater Hanish, Lesser Hanish, and Zuqar islands have negotiated their surrender with Ansarallah (the Houthis)
About 2,000 soldiers across the three islands will be handed over after dawn. Their safety and passage has been guaranteed, in accordance with the Presidential pardon.
We should see footage surfacing in the morning that confirms Ansarallah’s control over the islands.

NATO chief says Hormuz mine clearance ‘not a NATO mission’
The remarks in Berlin come as Washington presses European members to absorb the full weight of the continent’s conventional defense
The CNN, citing a Western source, reports that some Presidential Leadership Council military units on the country’s west coast possessed only 20 percent of the troops listed in their records, while the remaining 80 percent were “virtual” soldiers who did not exist at all.
The PLC collected from Saudi Arabia, salaries and a full list of expenses including uniforms, night vision equipment, weapons, ammunition, transport and even billeting costs for the ghost forces.

🇮🇷🇯🇴🇺🇸| Additional footage from the large Iranian ballistic missile attack on US bases inside of Jordan.
🇮🇷🇺🇸| BREAKING: Iran just launched more than a dozen ballistic missiles from several missile cities in Iran towards US Army targets including those in Jordan.
This is a significant wave compared to previous rounds.
@FotrosResistancee

More then 35 missiles were launched, and the US/Jordan launched about 62 interceptor missiles.
There are a couple of impacts.

🇮🇷🇺🇸🇯🇴| During the 2nd and 3rd wave of Iranian missile attacks against US bases in Jordan, they experienced almost no interception attempts.
The Patriot batteries did not launch any of their interceptors.
Either they were exhausted, ran out, or possibly got damaged from the cluster submunitions.
