The plan involves coordination with Iran's IRGC and could include simultaneous attacks from the north and south using drones and missiles.

The official said the suspected targets are primarily civilian and economic infrastructure, including energy facilities, ports, and airports.

Saudi Arabia has detected meetings involving Iraqi militia members, Houthis, and IRGC personnel, as well as the movement of weapons.

🇮🇷🇴🇲⚡- Iran and Oman are reportedly discussing a proposal to gradually replace the current northbound and southbound shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz with a single central navigation corridor.

Under the plan, during the transitional phase vessels would initially continue entering through the northern lane near Iran and exiting through the southern lane near Oman.

Post transitional phase, all maritime traffic would be routed through the central corridor, with Iran overseeing inbound traffic and Iran and Oman jointly managing outbound traffic. Transit fees would be based on services provided, including insurance, bunkering, and environmental support, rather than a percentage of cargo value. This is in contradiction to an earlier Reuters report that stated a fixed 3-7% tariff on cargo value.

🇮🇱⚡- Senior Likud figures Yuli Edelstein and Gilad Erdan have announced their departure from the party, arguing that Likud "no longer represents its voters" and stating that they "will not participate in any narrow [minor] coalition government." Edelstein announces he will create a new right-wing party for the upcoming elections.

Note, Edelstein was one of the most prominent proponents of extending military conscription to the ultra-Orthodox community, a stance that fractured the then Likud-led coalition. The disputes drove a wedge between Netanyahu and several of his ultra-Orthodox allies, contributing to the collapse of the bloc, some of which, such as Avigdor Lieberman, have become staunch anti-Netanyahu figures, who has since labelled the Likud government "pro-Shia."

After causing the initial rift within the right-wing bloc, Edelstein jumps off the sinking Likud ship.
