🇾🇪🇸🇦⚡- BREAKING: Aidaros al-Zubaidi, President of Yemen's UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC), has issued his first public statement in nine months following the collapse of the Aden-based STC administration.

Al-Zubaidi condemned the recent Ansarullah attacks on Saudi Arabia and called on southern Yemenis to mobilize and maintain a high state of readiness.

Note, no major non-PLC-aligned STC formation is currently participating in the fighting against Ansarullah, explaining the relative calm along the Ad Dali front. Earlier this year, the Southern Giants Brigades, Shabwah Emergency Forces, Rapid Intervention Forces, Abyan Emergency Forces, and Division 22 all underwent forced leadership changes and subsequently pledged allegiance to the Presidential Leadership Council, PLC, hence their participation in the hostilities against the Ansarullah.

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇨🇳- EDITOR'S NOTE: President Trump says he doesn't believe China or Russia are helping Iran, dismissing the claims as coming from “Radical Left Morons and Lunatics.”

Apparently, that includes his own administration.

On May 8, Trump's State Department sanctioned three Chinese satellite firms for supplying imagery of US and allied bases to Iran, which it said enabled strikes against US forces. Treasury sanctioned Chinese firms tied to Iranian missile and drone procurement.

On September 18, Congressional Research Service report R48887 stated: “Both countries have provided some support to Iran in 2026.” It cited reports of Russian military shipments, targeting intelligence and missile assistance, alongside Chinese satellite imagery and missile-related supplies.

The Financial Times uncovered contracts and correspondence showing Russia's state arms exporter helping Iran develop supersonic cruise missiles, with cooperation continuing into 2026.

The Washington Post reported, citing three officials, that Moscow gave Tehran locations of US warships and aircraft.

The Wall Street Journal examined Iranian customs records identifying roughly 1,300 shipments of dual-use components from China to Iran's Defense Ministry.

On July 21, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told the Senate that both countries were enabling Iranian activities, with details remaining classified.

President Trump says “we would know about it very fast.” We do. His own government put it in writing.
