The unusual announcement that Starlink will offer its first West Asian satellite connectivity services in Yemen, of all places, has sparked a furor in Sanaa, with concerns that the project aims to infiltrate Yemen’s national security apparatus to reverse US–Israeli losses in the region’s waterways. Mawadda Iskandar The Cradle  There is much concern that Elon Musk’s Starlink intends to provide satellite internet coverage to the United States following the  failure  of its Red Sea “Operation Prosperity Guardian” alliance to curb Yemen’s pro-Palestinian front. This conversation has gained traction since the company’s  announcement  on 18 September that it would launch services in Yemen after months of informal contracts with the Saudi-backed government in Aden. The timing of this announcement raised eyebrows, especially as it coincided with Israel’s terrorist attacks in Lebanon involving  exploding pagers  and walkie-talkies. A US-backed initiative Starli...

Ha-as on anniversary of Storm op. TEHRAN, (MNA) – Ha-as says Operation al-A-sa Storm, which was launched last year against the Israeli regime in response to its intensified atrocities against Palestinians, shattered the regime’s “perceived military superiority.” Khalil al-Hayya, a senior member of the Palestinian resistance movement’s Political Bureau, said, “Performing the operation, Palestinian fighters carried out heroic acts that have changed the balance of power.” “Our objective is clear, we seek the complete liberation of our land and holy sites, the establishment of a sovereign, independent Palestinian state, and the return of refugees to their homeland.” He told Palestinian Arabic-language al-Aqsa television channel on Sunday ahead of the first anniversary of the operation. The surprise operation saw Hamas and its fellow Gaza Strip-based Palestinian resistance movement of the Islamic Jihad storming the occupied Palestinian territories and taking more than 240 Israelis captive. ...

The importance of Iran’s special relationship with Hezbollah and Lebanon became clear after its unprecedented salvo of missiles hit targets across Israel. The country’s supreme leader made that even more apparent in his rare public speech on Friday. Ali Rizk The Cradle  Friday’s commemoration of Hezbollah’s late leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, in Iran was no ordinary event and provides an indication of how far Tehran is willing to go to preserve the Axis of Resistance in the face of Israeli escalation. Thousands  reportedly  turned out for the commemoration ceremony, in which Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei led Friday prayers before addressing the gathered masses. Khamenei’s public appearance can itself be seen as both an act of defiance directed at the Axis’ enemies and a message of reassurance to its supporters, who are no doubt looking to Iran for leadership following Nasrallah’s assassination. The Iranian leader’s public appearance comes after fo...

Iran envoy to Russia TEHRAN, (MNA) – Iran's ambassador to Russia has said that Iran’s restraint after the Israeli assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh has exposed the emptiness of the US and other states' claims on their call for a truce in Gaza. Kazem Jalali spoke at a ceremony in the Islamic Center of Moscow on Saturday to commemorate Nasrallah, IRGC General Abbas Nilforoushan, and other Resistance members recently martyred by the Israeli regime. Before Iran's Operation True Promise 2 on October 1, the enemy attempted to falsely portray the Islamic Republic as afraid to respond, the ambassador stated. He noted that if Tehran had retaliated at that time, it would have been used as a pretext to accuse Iran of obstructing a truce. Jalali also cautioned against the Israeli regime's psychological warfare aimed at creating discord among Resistance groups and Muslims. He emphasized, “We’re strong,” asserting that the presence of Resistance supporters at the ceremony ...
