If true, this would be hugely important. But read the entire post for key nuance.

"Beijing has imposed four conditions on Tehran before Ghalibaf visits China:
1) Open the Strait of Hormuz
2) No transit fee system
3) Settlement with Saudi Arabia
4) Settlement with America"

Urban warfare scholar John Spencer says Hamas has created a uniquely barbaric form of warfare that much of the world fails to understand.

Hamas doesn’t merely accept the deaths of its own civilians as collateral damage.

He says civilian deaths are an integral part of its political strategy.

“The Hamas leadership… have many public statements… saying they need the blood of their women, children, and elderly to achieve their goals.”

“They said they not only want it, they need it to achieve this goal of theirs in the afterlife.”

“It’s a really sick political strategy.”

“Even the Japanese, the Nazis, while they accepted civilian casualties, that wasn’t their strategy.”

“To get their own population killed in order to achieve this political goal in the afterlife.”

“There’s 600 miles of tunnels in Gaza, as one example.”

“There’s 2.2 million people there. All of them could fit in their tunnels with ease and escape what’s going on the surface.”

“But Hamas actually makes written and public statements saying these are not for the civilians, and civilians are not allowed.”

“That’s where you get Hamas occupying hospitals, schools, mosques, all of it, because they know that those are protected sites.”

“That’s a war crime in and of itself, but it’s this reverse engineering of the rules of war.”

War in #Yemen #SITREP | For now, Houthi advances appear to have been halted across several fronts, while some recent gains have been rolled back by government-aligned forces. But the fighting is far from over. Both sides are repositioning, reinforcing contested sectors, and continuing artillery, drone, and missile operations.

Three senior commanders from Yemen's anti-Houthi forces remain at the center of the current operations. They are Lt. Gen. @tarikyemen, commander of the National Resistance Forces @nrfyemen, Maj. Gen. Abdulrahman al-Lahji, commander of the National Shield Forces @diralwatan, and Maj. Gen. Hamdi Shukri, commander of the 4th Military Region.

A video message from Maj. Gen. Shukri has circulated widely on Yemeni social media. Shukri said his forces would continue the battle "until Yemen is cleansed of Iranian influence." He also claimed that Houthi forces were in a state of collapse and that government-aligned forces had achieved major battlefield successes. His comments reflect his assessment of the fighting and should not be treated as independent confirmation of a wider Houthi collapse.

The rural western Ta'izz front is quieter for now as both sides reorganize and bring in reinforcements following the recent fighting. Artillery fire, drone activity, and localized clashes nevertheless continue across several sectors.

In western Ta'izz, National Resistance forces reported heavy clashes with Houthi forces in the Al-Kadhah sector. Pro-government media also reported artillery strikes against Houthi positions and troop concentrations around Al-Barh, Saqm, and other parts of the western coastal front.

Local sources reported Houthi artillery fire on villages around Ash-Shurajah in Jabal Habashi District, with the main road reportedly cut and the movement of displaced civilians disrupted. Another report said a woman and one of her relatives were killed when a bus carrying displaced civilians was struck in Jabal Habashi.

The fighting has also extended toward Al-Ashruh in Jabal Habashi, as Houthi forces shelled the outskirts of Al-Ashruh in western Ta'izz with artillery.

Farther south along the Red Sea coast, Houthi mortar fire against Al-Haymah village in southern Hudaydah, with several displaced civilians reportedly wounded. In Mawza District, western Ta'izz, a child was killed by a missile strike on Al-Murakh village.

The National Resistance also claimed that bodies recovered following fighting on the western coast included members of Somalia's al-Shabaab who had fought alongside Houthi forces. Its military media said documents and personal belongings found with the bodies supported the identification. The claim remains unverified. From the published material alone, it is not possible to establish whether the dead were Somali fighters, African Yemenis, or individuals of another background.

Fighting has also been reported beyond western Ta'izz. In southern Marib, pro-government forces released footage showing artillery and drone strikes against Houthi positions, artillery sites, vehicles, and sniper positions.

In Al-Bayda, local sources reported airstrikes against Houthi positions around Jabal Sawda Ghurab in Al-Zahir District. Houthi forces were also reported to have shelled a tribal gathering in the Aynat Al Barman area.

In Al-Jawf, forces belonging to Yemen's internationally recognized government said they struck Houthi personnel and military capabilities at Al-Labnat camp. A military spokesman described the attack as a response to recent Houthi escalation and said newly introduced capabilities were used.

The current picture is therefore one of a Houthi offensive that has lost momentum in several areas, with some advances reversed, but not a concluded battle. Front lines remain active, reinforcements continue to move, and further attempts by either side to regain the initiative should be expected.

Something is changing in Europe.

The AfD is set for a massive victory in regional election in Germany.

We are seeing similar things elsewhere.

Marine Le Pen is the favorite to become next French President.

The Freedom Party is leading massively in Austria.

In Norway the right-wing party is leading massively.

It's clear that people all over Europe want change.
