— 🇸🇦/🇵🇰/🇹🇷 NEW: Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey have signed a trilateral defense pact

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇺🇸/🇸🇦 NEW: For the first time in years, due to Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz and Yemeni attacks against Aramco facilities, Saudi Arabia’s oil exports to the United States have fallen to zero barrels

— 🇮🇷/🇦🇪 NEW: Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) announces that Iran has attacked 3 of its oil tankers in the past week alone, and 15 tankers since the war started

@Middle_East_Spectator

I do not understand the negative reactions. We should always welcome increased cooperation and alliances between Muslim nations.

Of course, I too am skeptical about the true nature of this tripartite pact. I highly doubt any of these countries would ever dare say a word against Israel or the United States, let alone fight against them.

But in principle, Islamic cooperation and mutual defense treaties are much more preferable than a divided Ummah, even if we personally have strong differences with these countries.

If, however, this pact is used as an excuse to fight against fellow Muslims—like Iran, Yemen, and so on—it exposes the hypocrisy of these leaders and discredits the alliance immediately.

— 🇮🇷/🇸🇦/🇵🇰/🇹🇷 Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi, responds positively to the Turkey-Saudi-Pakistani alliance:

‘Iran's Powerful Armed Forces have shown their readiness, capability, and might in face of the world's most expensive military.

When Muslims stand together, we can face every challenge by malicious outsiders head-on.

Time to rely only on ourselves and embrace true brotherhood.’

—❗️🇮🇷/🇦🇪 NEW: Iran targeted another Emirati oil tanker this morning, per Al-Jazeera

That’s the 4th tanker belonging to Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) targeted just this week.

Since last week, the UAE has not exported a single barrel of oil by sea. The equation seems to be if Iran doesn’t sell oil, neither will the Arabs.

Bro just stop trying to go through the Strait of Hormuz how dumb are you

EVERY SHIP IS GETTING MERKED AND YOU STILL THINK ITS A GOOD IDEA TO PASS?

—❗️🇮🇷/🇴🇲 NEW: The IRGC Navy has struck a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇮🇷 Iran’s Supreme National Security Council:

‘Until America corrects its behavior, the Strait of Hormuz will not be opened.

Correcting behavior means:

1. Never threaten Iran with any language nor insult the sanctities of this nation.

2. End the war and aggression against Iran and its allies in Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen, and Iraq permanently.

3. Lift the naval blockade and withdraw U.S. naval and air forces from the area surrounding Iran.

4. Pay the damages for the two aggressive wars imposed against Iran.

5. Lift the cruel and illegal sanctions against the Iranian nation.

6. Release the frozen and stolen assets of the Iranian people unconditionally.

These are the demands of the Iranian people who have been relentlessly present in the squares and streets for 160 days.

The Supreme National Security Council will never back down; whether in war or in negotiations.‘

—❗️🇸🇦/🇾🇪 NEW: In a separate incident, the Ministry of Electricity announces that the Aramco refinery in Jazan caught fire once again

It is unclear if this was an accident or an attack, and who carried it out.
