Total chaos in UAE.

14 UAE officials are now under serious suspicion of being the masterminds behind the failed hijacking attempt of Flydubai Flight FZ1073.

The Omani suicidal pilot, Hamam Alhamami, was suspended by Oman Air in 2024 for frequently visiting radical Islamic websites.

He then moved to Dubai that same year.

Flydubai hired him as a pilot.

Oman Air warned Flydubai about the pilot's extremist views.

But Flydubai ignored the warnings.

Even when the suicidal pilot was a trainee, he was found with extremist material.

He was treated as a security risk.

He was linked to Al-Qaeda on 7 different occasions.

He developed his extremist views during training camps in Syria.

His colleagues described him as a religious extremist who refused to shake hands with women.

He was also found guilty of promoting Istishhad.

Which is religiously framed suicide attacks.

Massive suspicions are now growing over why the UAE allowed him to fly Flight FZ1073.

This now appears to have been a deliberate attempt by certain individuals to carry out a 9/11 style attack against the 174 passengers on board.

Mossad and Shin Bet want the pilot to be handed over to Israel.

But the UAE is refusing.

Saudi Arabia did not even finish their initial inquiry.

But because of external pressure, the pilot was transferred to the UAE.

A prohibited knife also somehow got past airport security with inside support.

This hijacking was most likely planned months in advance.

The incident is now being treated as an inside job.

Kuwait tanker BURGAN, IMO 9656022 was the tanker struck on Saturday by the IRGC during outbound transit of SoH.

This was the second Kuwaiti tanker struck in a 48hr period.

Iran said one tanker was struck by 2 mines during transit of the southern route. JMIC said this did not occur.

Last night, the US struck IRGC infrastructure at Larak for the first time in almost a month. In response, Iran attacked Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan.

Iran says it struck US military at Al Minhad base in UAE with drones. Theo UAE denies this but said they intercepted a drone over territorial waters coming from Iran.

🇮🇷🇺🇸Iran Turns to Rocket Mines After US Wrecks Its Mine-Laying Fleet:

The US says it caught Iran readying rocket-dropped sea mines for the Strait of Hormuz - not boats sneaking out to plant them, but rockets that scatter mines from a distance.

The rockets act as remote minelayers: they fly over the water, drop the payload where Tehran wants it, and leave US forces hunting launchers on land instead of boats in the strait.

That shift is the tell. If Iran is giving up surface minelayers, it is because the US already owns the air and water over Hormuz - and laying the next minefield is getting much harder.

BREAKING: President Trump tells @TreyYingst the U.S. will respond to Iran’s overnight attack on American forces in Jordan, saying, “We’re going to hit them hard.”

Trump said U.S. air defenses intercepted all but one Iranian missile, which was allowed to pass because it was not expected to hit anything significant.

He also said Iran is eager to meet but questioned whether Tehran can be trusted to make a deal as U.S. sanctions continue to take effect.

BIG: A senior Iranian source told Reuters that for every U.S. attack on Iran, Tehran will deliver a “response dozens of times greater.”

The source also said Iran’s retaliation against U.S. strikes on Larak showed that “no target in the region is beyond Tehran’s reach.”

U.S. forces have quietly opened a protected shipping corridor through the southern Strait of Hormuz, allowing 15–20 tankers to transit nightly.

Officials say the operation is now moving nearly 10 million barrels of oil per day—about half pre-war levels—helping ease global supply disruptions.

The military coordinates tanker movements with Gulf partners while U.S. fighter jets protect ships from Iranian drones and cruise missiles.

Officials say recent U.S. strikes degraded Iran’s surveillance capabilities, giving Tehran limited visibility into the corridor.

Syria publicly confirmed possessing nuclear material left over from the Assad regime.

IAEA chief Grossi said "tons of nuclear materials that could be put to bad use" were found at an undeclared site.

Syria voluntarily informed the IAEA in July and granted inspectors access.

Foreign Minister al-Shaibani said the material will remain in Syrian custody under IAEA safeguards, adding that Syria "affirms its sovereign and legal right to a peaceful nuclear program."

The material is linked to the Al-Kibar reactor that Israel destroyed in 2007, believed to have been built with North Korean assistance.

Grossi said Syria has regained its place as a fully compliant state:

We are now turning the page on the past.

Qantas Airbus A380 flew on two passenger flights with a maintenance work light in its left wing, the Australian ATSB has said in a recent incident report.

The report details that the light was inadvertently left in the Qantas-operated A380 after maintenance was conducted on the aircraft’s air conditioning system at Sydney Airport on 7 January 2026.

The aircraft was subsequently flown to Dallas, and then back to Sydney, before the light was removed on 9 January.

An ATSB investigation concluded the incident was the result of a breakdown in foreign object control and tool accountability processes.

“Maintainers did not find the light during their foreign object clearance inspections at the end of the maintenance,” ATSB Chief Commissioner Angus Mitchell said.

“And the work light’s absence was not noticed when the maintainer returned the tools, or during the unreturned tool check at the end of the shift.”

A licensed aircraft maintenance engineer then issued a certificate of release to service, despite the work light being unaccounted for.

In response to the occurrence, Qantas issued a safety directive to address changes to its tooling control processes and procedures.

🇷🇺🇪🇺‼️ NATO has reportedly developed a detailed battle plan for stopping a potential Russian invasion of the Baltic states, built around overwhelming long-range firepower, autonomous systems and systematic destruction of Russia’s ability to sustain an offensive. According to BILD, the objective would not be to occupy Russian territory, but to halt Moscow’s advance and weaken its forces as severely as possible.

The opening phase would focus on suppressing Russian missile and drone attacks with NATO aircraft, missiles and unmanned systems, while simultaneously striking military infrastructure in Kaliningrad. NATO would then establish an “autonomous zone” along the borders with Russia and Belarus, where Russian advances would be stopped largely by aerial and ground robotic systems rather than a permanent physical presence of allied troops. Subsequent operations would expand against the infrastructure supporting Russia’s war effort, including military bases, airfields, bridges, railways and defense-industrial facilities.

The plan reflects how dramatically NATO’s doctrine has evolved since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The alliance is preparing not simply to defend every kilometer of territory with soldiers, but to destroy the logistics, infrastructure and combat systems required for Russia to sustain an invasion. With NATO already implementing its largest eastern-flank defense plans since the Cold War and maintaining substantially more forces at high readiness, Moscow would face a fundamentally different military environment from the one it encountered in Ukraine.

🇺🇸🇨🇳⚡️ Xi Jinping is preparing for a high-stakes visit to the United States, with the Chinese leader expected to arrive on September 23 and hold a full day of talks with President Donald Trump at the White House on September 24. He is expected to leave the country the following day and skip the UN General Assembly entirely, according to Politico.

The summit is expected to focus on some of the most consequential issues in the U.S.-China relationship, including trade, Taiwan and artificial intelligence, as well as the confrontation with Iran and security around the Strait of Hormuz. The September 24 meeting has been anticipated for months, with Trump previously publicly indicating that Xi would visit around that date.

The decision to bypass the UN and concentrate the trip around direct negotiations with Trump underlines the importance both governments are placing on leader-level diplomacy. Washington and Beijing remain strategic competitors, but Iran, Hormuz and global economic instability have created areas where neither side benefits from uncontrolled escalation. The summit could therefore become an important test of whether Trump and Xi can stabilize competition without compromising their fundamentally opposing interests.

Prominent UAE billionaire Khalaf al-Habtoor, who championed the Abraham Accords, is now questioning normalization with Israel after Minister Ben Gvir called for killing "30 or 40" Palestinians nightly, saying they are "not worthy of life."

"If an official in the Israeli government can speak this way openly, how can we be asked to speak of peace, negotiations, and coexistence?" Habtoor wrote.

However, he stopped short of calling for the UAE to suspend ties or impose sanctions.

The UAE remains Israel's largest Arab trading partner at $3.2 billion in bilateral trade.

All Iranian entities will be prepared to escalate tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and the region if diplomacy fails.

Qatar has denied claims it detained three Iranian pilots, after Tehran called for their release.

A foreign ministry spokesperson described the claims as “misleading” amid ongoing diplomatic efforts.

Iran’s armed forces said the pilots were captured after their SU-24 jets crashed during the early days of the US-Israeli war on Iran and had been held for six months.
