The Telegraph dedicated an extensive feature to a Russian "documentary" about the Mariupol Drama Theatre. Its main thesis: the theatre was not blown up by the Russians, but by the Ukrainians themselves, in their own home, to smear Moscow.

The author of the film, "The Witnesses", is Vittorio Nicola Rangeloni, an Italian currently living in occupied Donetsk who calls himself an "independent journalist."

The film features alleged eyewitnesses who blame Azov for bombing the building. There is no evidence. Instead, there are memories that Rangeloni suggests taking as truth.

According to a release from UKMTO, there was an incident 121nm east of Duqm, Oman involving military forces and a tanker. Per the release, “the tanker was subject to interaction as a part of ongoing military activity in the region.”

While no commensurate release has been made by CENTCOM or the EU’s Operation ATALANTA, prior such releases from UKMTO have come after an interdiction or disabling of a tanker by U.S. forces participating in the blockade of vessels traveling to and from Iran.

RT @JenniferJJacobs: Rubio told Zelenskyy in a 45-minute talk that nothing has changed on intelligence sharing with Ukraine. "The president made it very clear he's ordered no such changes, so none of that has changed. None of it, and I see reporting that it has, but it's just not accurate," @SecRubio told us.

U.S. Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack says Iran is “not an evil regime,” describing the Twelver Shia theocracy established in 1979 as a religious system deserving respect.

“That’s a religious content and practice that we all respect.”

Barrack instead singled out the IRGC, saying it “has become an adversary” and that its confrontation with Israel “has been a problem.”

BREAKING | 🇬🇧🇸🇦🇾🇪‼️‼️ Britain is reportedly deploying Royal Air Force Typhoon fighter jets to help defend Saudi Arabia against Houthi aerial attacks, marking a significant expansion of British military involvement in the kingdom’s security.

According to a report attributed to Bloomberg, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham has instructed the Royal Air Force to conduct defensive missions over Saudi Arabia. British Typhoon fighters are expected to help protect Saudi cities and critical infrastructure against potential drone and missile attacks. The precise scale, deployment schedule, and operational arrangements have not been independently verified.

The involvement of British fighter jets would significantly reinforce Saudi Arabia’s defensive capabilities while deepening military coordination between London and Riyadh. Protecting major population centers, energy facilities, and other strategic infrastructure could reduce the effectiveness of Houthi aerial operations. The move also signals a potentially broader international effort to strengthen Saudi air defenses amid growing regional security concerns.
