Field movements suggest that Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s internationally recognized government are raising their level of preparedness for a possible new round of fighting against the Houthis, amid growing U.S. political and military support.

As a new wave of U.S. strikes on Iran intensifies, Donald Trump has once again hinted at what could be described as the “Kurdish card,” without naming it directly.

Iraqi PM Ali al-Zaidi has placed himself at the center of a high-stakes political and security test after pledging to President Donald Trump that he would disarm the country's militias and dismantle what is known as the "resistance" within two months.

The crisis triggered by Iran's second aircraft breaching the air blockade over areas controlled by the Houthis has rapidly escalated beyond a dispute over airspace management and Yemeni sovereignty, becoming one of the most serious flashpoints since the 2022 ceasefire began.

Tuesday night into Wednesday saw the worst exchange of strikes between the U.S. and Iran since the deal - known as a memorandum of understanding - was signed on 17 June.

Iran commemorated the anniversary of Khamenei's death with week-long funeral and mourning ceremonies in five cities across Iran and Iraq, with millions of mourners participating.

The U.S.-Iran deal is more than the end of "a military confrontation;" it is a reminder that Washington’s ability to dictate regional outcomes is no longer as unquestioned as it once was.

While Gulf capitals welcomed the U.S.-Iran ceasefire as a chance to ease tensions, their statements showed they see it not as the end of the crisis, but as a test of Iran’s regional behavior amid fears their security concerns could be sidelined.

Just 60 days after a ceasefire took effect, Iran and the Israeli Occupation returned to exchanging military strikes in a brief but consequential confrontation that lasted roughly 14 hours, once again raising questions about the fragility of the truce.

While U.S. efforts accelerate to impose a lasting settlement between Lebanon and the Israeli Occupation after months of war and mutual escalation, developments on the ground appear to be moving in the exact opposite direction.

In a striking irony, Oman, long seen as a key regional mediator and a trusted channel of communication between Washington and Tehran, has found itself under pressure from its own American ally, after Trump threatened to “blow it up” if it aligned with Iran on the sensitive issue of the Strait of Hormuz.

The makeup of Iraqi PM Ali al-Zaidi’s new government revealed the absence of any figure directly affiliated with armed factions, raising a central question over how far the U.S. succeeded in pushing those groups out of power as part of its conditions for maintaining ties with Baghdad and continuing political support.

From the outset, Ammar Headquarters has been deeply involved in producing a narrative built around a set of core concepts, most notably “sedition,” the “internal enemy,” “soft war,” and “infiltration.”

The U.S.-Israeli War on Iran that erupted in late February 2026 was not simply a military campaign to degrade Iranian capabilities, but quickly became an unexpected internal turning point that reshaped the balance of power in Tehran.
