The stated reason is ‘due to a chance of rain’. Note that there is a zero (0%) chance of rain in Saudi Arabia over the next 24 hours, and the areas happen to correspond with those currently under missile attack.

❗️Oil jumps above $108 as Yemen strikes Saudi airbase, Hormuz talks collapse
Brent crude climbed above $108 a barrel and WTI topped $103 after Gulf states postponed planned talks with Iran on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, while Yemeni forces launched a large-scale missile and drone attack on Saudi Arabia's King Khalid Airbase in Khamis Mushait, saying it was retaliation for more than 300 Saudi airstrikes on Yemen over five days.
The market reaction was compounded by the continued shutdown of Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline, with Reuters reporting the outage could threaten up to 4% of global oil supply if prolonged and that Yanbu's export stocks may last only five to seven days. The disruption, alongside Yemeni control of key positions around the Bab al-Mandab Strait, has heightened fears over the security of two of the world's most critical energy chokepoints, driving fresh gains in oil prices and raising concerns over global fuel supplies.

🇷🇺🇨🇳🇮🇷🔫🇺🇳🎪Russia & China veto extension of UNSC Iran sanctions "Panel of Experts"
Russia and China vetoed a US-drafted UNSC resolution that would have extended the mandate of the Panel of Experts supporting the resolution 1737 Iran Sanctions Committee until September 2027.
Vote: 11 in favor (Epstinite Imperium + vassals), 2 against (Russia, China), 2 abstentions (Pakistan, reportedly Somalia).
Russian envoy Vasily Nebenzya called the draft "deeply flawed" with no legal basis, reiterating that Resolution 2231 expired October 18, 2025, and that the Iranian nuclear file is off the Council's agenda.
Epsteinite regime UNSC members (US, UK, France) insist that the sanctions regime was legally restored via the E3 "snapback" in September 2025.
What does this mean: the Panel's mandate expires Sept 26/27 — the Epsteinites have roughly ten days to find an alternative monitoring arrangement or lose "independent" oversight of Iran sanctions, leaving the IAEA as the sole body still reporting on the nuclear file.
🇮🇷Ghalibaf's response:
"The unipolar order in which one side extracts concessions through force and coercion has ended. China and Russia's vetoes rejected the political abuse of the Security Council and reaffirmed the rule of law. We must defend multilateralism; unilateralism serves no one's interests."
🐻The "Rules based order" is, at least symbolically, giving room to International law. The Imperium will not take this well, tantrums expected.

❗️US nurses demand hospitals cut ties with Palantir over role in Gaza genocide and ICE
Expand
National Nurses United, the largest union of registered nurses in the US, is demanding that hospitals cut ties with Palantir, citing the company’s role in immigrant surveillance and its alleged involvement in Israel’s genocide in Gaza, Truthout reported.
The union, which represents more than 225,000 nurses across all 50 states, announced a global week of action against Palantir beginning 28 September.
NNU is calling on hospitals and other public institutions to end contracts and partnerships with the company and divest from it, accusing Palantir of developing technology used for mass surveillance and targeting civilians in Gaza.
The campaign follows demonstrations in eight US cities on 27 August. Nurses have accused Palantir of helping ICE identify and detain immigrants while also providing technology used by Israel.
"Palantir’s AI is enabling atrocities and human rights abuses," NNU nurse Elizabeth Lalasz said, accusing the company of providing technology for "Israel’s US-funded genocide in Gaza."

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is unable to restore access to its cloud-computing facility in Bahrain and one of three data-hosting zones in the United Arab Emirates after they were damaged during the US-Israeli war on Iran, according to a status update seen by Reuters on Tuesday.
AWS, Amazon’s cloud-computing division, said the damage in Bahrain affected multiple availability zones, which consist of clusters of one or more data centers within the same geographic region.
"The damage to our infrastructure spanned multiple Availability Zones and exceeded what our regional and multi-AZ services are designed to withstand," an AWS status update seen by Reuters said. AWS added that it was helping customers in Bahrain resume operations through other regions.

I love how all the western OSINTs are shaking about Aryan finding the pilot’s identity. They’re showing their double standards when it comes to OSINT (aka “open source”).
They’re propagandists & hypocrites that do not actually care about “open source”.

Also, in my humble and honest opinion, I don’t think Jonathan Bott is the actual WSO pilot from the shot down F-15. I think releasing this video without video blur is a PsyOps with reasonings we probably don’t know.

❗️US intelligence warns Saudi F-35 deal could expose sensitive technology to China
US intelligence officials have warned that a proposed $24 billion sale of F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia could potentially expose sensitive aircraft technology to Chinese espionage, The New York Times reported, citing US officials familiar with internal assessments.
According to the report, intelligence analysts are concerned that China could gain access to F-35 technology through espionage in Saudi Arabia or via Riyadh’s expanding military and security ties with Beijing. A recent Defense Intelligence Agency assessment examined Chinese military access to Saudi bases and the kingdom’s use of Chinese telecommunications equipment, while also questioning whether US and Saudi authorities could adequately secure facilities housing sensitive F-35 systems.

❗️Israeli army seals final access route to West Bank village, isolating 47 Palestinian families
The Israeli military has closed the last remaining access route to Khirbet Ras al-Ahmar, a Palestinian village southeast of Tubas in the northern occupied West Bank, completely isolating 47 families for a fifth consecutive day.
The closure follows more than two months of restrictions on dirt roads leading to the village, resident Thaer Basharat told Anadolu Agency.
Basharat said the Israeli military dug a trench across the final route five days ago, leaving residents dependent on livestock and agricultural tractors without access to basic necessities and animal feed. He described the village as a "cage" surrounded by trenches, walls, and military zones.
According to Basharat, around 360,000 dunams of grazing land were historically used by farmers in the community, but 90 percent has either been seized or placed off-limits.
He said the restrictions are aimed at forcibly displacing the entire community, as Israeli military and settler attacks on Palestinians and their property have intensified across the occupied West Bank since October 2023.

🇮🇷| Leaving NPT bill will likely not pass again at Iran’s parliament.
Another Iranian MP, Reza Ardastani, member of the National Security Commission says leaving the NPT should only happen when Iran has built an atomic bomb.
Otherwise, simply announcing this and having MPs discuss it creates additional costs that Iran will have to bear.
Even when leaving the NPT is announced, countries that have previously supported us, such as China and Russia, may distance themselves to some extent, and we will have to pay the price later.
If Iran wants to leave the NPT, it is better to first build an atomic bomb and then leave. Then, some countries will disagree with it, and after that, they will negotiate with Iran, as has happened with some other countries in the world.

❗️Saudi Arabia discovers 110 million tonnes of uranium-bearing ore in Medina
Saudi Arabia has discovered an estimated 110 million tonnes of uranium-bearing ore in the Medina region, Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said today, according to Saudi state television and Reuters.
The discovery was announced during the International Atomic Energy Agency’s General Conference in Vienna. Saudi Arabia has been seeking to expand its nuclear program and develop domestic uranium resources as part of its broader push to build a nuclear energy industry.
It is becoming increasingly clear that Tanker Trackers is just another Zionist mouthpiece:
"Larger volumes of crude oil are being transferred via ship-to-ship (STS) operations in the Sea of Oman."
Let us examine this claim more closely.
Among the pairs of oil tankers visible in the satellite imagery are the "Nissos Nikouria" and the "Gulf Loyalty".
Both vessels have reliable AIS records and have been observed in satellite imagery -alongside each other and separately- over the past week.
Neither of these tankers has passed through the Strait of Hormuz over the last eight days.

❗️Pro-Palestine activists occupy British Museum over links to Israeli settlements
Expand
Pro-Palestine activists occupied the British Museum’s Great Hall during the opening of its Bayeux Tapestry exhibition, demanding an end to the museum’s ties with billionaire Igor Tulchinsky over his financial links to Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, Middle East Eye reported.
Tulchinsky sponsored the exhibition and funded a community centre in Efrat, an Israeli settlement in the occupied West Bank that is now subject to UK sanctions.
The direct action was organized by Energy Embargo for Palestine, which also called for the museum to end its partnership with BP, establish a staff-led body to oversee sponsorships and partnerships, rename the BP lecture theatre and reject funding from fossil fuel and arms companies.
The protest follows a Middle East Eye investigation that found the museum removed references to "Palestine," "Palestinian" and "Israelite occupation" from displays after lobbying in 2026.
Protesters also demanded full transparency over Tulchinsky’s sponsorship, while the group plans to unveil a "People’s Tapestry" presenting a community-led account of history.

I honestly disagree with this position. Yemen was only split up due to colonialism and allowing UAE puppets to the south of you only seems to be repeating the mistakes of Syria. Assad allowed the conflict in Idlib to cool, and from that point, essentially signed a death warrant on unifying all of Syria under the Syrian government.
Perhaps my perspective is colored too much by the experience if Syria, but I largely disagree with allowing a contemptuous and backstabbing enemy like the UAE to set up there little puppet government over South Yemenis.
