Here's the link to my new interactive Yemen Civil War map. It's not 100% accurate yet, but I've updated to represent the current situation as of the time of writing. https://t.co/2uzaF5ciov
Yemen Civil War - Situation on the Mocha Front: In the last few hours, Ansarallah forces continued their offensive along the Red Sea Coast, capturing the villages surrounding the strategic port city of Mocha. Under the cover of rocket and missile strikes, Ansarallah entered the city, prompting a full withdrawal of the PLC forces. Since then, Ansarallah has been able to establish full control over Mocha and the highway to the east, and have initiated a new offensive southwards along the highway towards Al-Mazaq.
It's crazy to think that the U.S. burned through over 2 months worth of Patriot PAC-3 interceptors during today's massive Iranian ballistic missile attack.
I wonder if the U.S. will respond to today's massive Iranian ballistic missile attack, or if they will prove once again that Iranian deterrence is extremely effective. The interceptor missile stockpiles keep getting lower and lower, and production rates are nowhere near being able to keep up.
Unconfirmed reports of an Iranian drone strike on an oil tanker docked off the coast of Dubai, UAE.

Less than an hour after the attack, the IRGC released footage showing the launches of dozens of ballistic missiles towards U.S. bases in Jordan. The IRGC claims it targeted U.S. maintenance hangars, as well as shelters for F-16, F-15, and F-35 fighter jets, with a combination of solid and liquid-fuel ballistic missiles, resulting in "heavy damage".
Today is September 9. It is Day 193 of Trump's "2-3 week war" to overthrow Iran's government and send Iran "back to the stone age" that started on February 28. Today, after carrying out three different attacks on American military infrastructure without the U.S. responding, Iran launched a massive retaliatory attack on U.S. bases in Jordan with 30-40 ballistic missiles in response to U.S. attacks on Iranian oil tankers. Despite false claims by CENTCOM, the Strait of Hormuz remains largely impassable due to the actions of the IRGC Navy, which Trump claims to have completely destroyed. American gas prices remain at an all-time high for this war as a result. Most/all Iranian missile bases remain fully functional, and only a few of Iran's hundreds of ballistic missile launchers have been targeted by U.S. airstrikes in the last few months. Iran retains thousands of ballistic missiles in their underground cities. America's interceptor stockpiles are becoming more and more critically low as days go by - a trend that is only being worsened for them after they launched over 100 Patriot PAC-2/3 interceptors during today's Iranian attack. The Iranian government and military command structure remains firmly in place, and there are no signs of cracks within their chain of command or inner circles. This was has exposed America's weaknesses for the entire world to see, and they aren't even fighting a great power like Russia or China, but rather a middling/regional power. America's remaining reputation on the international stage is now extremely tarnished, and even their allies are beginning to turn towards China as a more reliable trading partner. I can say that as someone in New Zealand, while my country has historically been one of, if not the most politically "anti-American" western countries in the world, any confidence or trust in the U.S. here has completely collapsed, as we now view them as an imperialist joke. More people here view China as a "friend" compared to the U.S. for the first time ever. I can imagine other countries are experiencing a similar phenomenon.
In response to U.S. attacks on three Iranian oil tankers, the IRGC launched 30-40 ballistic missiles (including several with cluster warheads) from around 12 different missile bases across Iran, towards U.S. bases in Jordan - their largest single attack since the active phase of the war in April. The missiles targeted U.S. military infrastructure in the city of Aqaba, as well as Muwaffaq Salti Airbase & Prince Hassan Airbases. Several ballistic missile and cluster submunition impacts were recorded, despite the U.S. launching close to 100 Patriot PAC-2/3 interceptors. As usual, the U.S. has not struck any of the Iranian ballistic missile launchers after the attacks, and have subsequently significantly decreased their already-depleted interceptor missile stockpiles. In the coming hours, Iran may attack U.S. bases in Bahrain, Qatar, and Kuwait, along with oil tankers docked near Kuwaiti and Bahraini ports, with drones and/or missiles, as the IRGC Navy warned earlier.
Four U.S. missiles hit an Iranian oil tanker 6 nautical miles off the coast of Kharg Island a few hours ago. No injuries were reported, and the crew has reportedly evacuated the vessel.

The Saraya Al-Quds Brigades (armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad) announced that a group of militants from an Israeli-backed Palestinian armed group attempted to capture a fighter from the "Al-Qarara Battalion" (subordinated to the PIJ's "Khan Younis Brigade") in the early hours of this morning. The militants, likely part of the small Popular Forces-affiliated armed group known as the "Free Homeland Forces", reportedly advanced into the PIJ-held territory in the ruins of Al-Qarara under the cover of Israeli drones. Palestinian fighters from the Saraya Al-Quds Brigades detected the infiltration force during the kidnapping operation, and fought back with small-arms fire and grenades, reportedly killing and wounding part of the force. The militants were apparently unsuccessful in capturing the PIJ fighter, prompting them to execute him on scene and withdraw alongside their own casualties under the cover of Israeli drone strikes.
Israeli airstrikes targeted the Shujaiya and Al-Tuffah Districts of eastern Gaza City. A short time ago, the IDF claims that they were fired upon in northern Gaza, without suffering any casualties. It is not yet known if these two events are connected. https://t.co/dkZVlEiYfj
The Iranian Army carried out seemingly preemptive missile and drone attacks on U.S. bases in Kuwait and the UAE today, allegedly targeting satellite communication systems, equipment depots, fighter jet hangars, soldier deployment areas, and radar systems. Notably, the U.S. did not carry out any retaliatory attack on Iran since Iran's ballistic missile attacks two days ago, yet Iran still chose to attack U.S. military infrastructure today.
The IDF claims that it captured the strategic Hezbollah command centre and tunnel network at Ali Al-Taher Hill near the city of Nabatieh, southern Lebanon, after nearly 3 months of fighting. They claim that the site was fully cleared of Hezbollah forces, and that they intend to demolish it in the near future.

Iran attacked 7 different American military bases in 4 different countries with dozens of ballistic missiles and drones yesterday, and it appears that the U.S. is not going to respond. Iranian deterrence has been re-established, as America faces continued critical interceptor missile stockpiles. Meanwhile, Iran retains the majority of its ballistic missile launchers, thousands of ballistic missiles in their underground cities, and is actively expanding its ballistic missile production sites once again. Despite claiming to have carried out a large wave of strikes on Iranian military targets yesterday, the CENTCOM footage only showed a couple of valuable targets being hit in southern Iran, and nothing else. Iran still maintains their ability to strike any ship in the Strait of Hormuz, and can also strike any American military base due to the lack of interceptor missile stockpiles. The American humiliation ritual continues...
Following the likely Hezbollah drone incursion into northern Israel, Israeli fighter jets carried out multiple airstrikes on the Hezbollah tunnel complex at Ali Al-Taher Hill, southern Lebanon.

The IRGC released footage showing the launch of four ballistic missiles towards Prince Hassan Airbase in Jordan, which they claim targeted RQ-4 and MQ-9 drone shelters and military technical infrastructure facilities; allegedly destroying several drones, killing several pilots, and sparking fires at several technical infrastructure facilities.
