Egypt's Intel Observer

This is Iraqi shepherd Awad Al-Shammari, who uncovered the secret Israeli military site in Iraq’s desert back in March before authorities were aware of it. He was later killed by Israeli forces, who reportedly targeted his vehicle in the area.

Images of the alleged martyred Iranian sailors & fishermen killed during an attack on their boats, in Bandar Abbas, tonight. Despite reports claiming it was last night, this is false. The incident happened a couple of hours ago. In response, Iran fired back at US navy fleet. Reports of attack on Bandar Abbas’ airport is also false.

MORE details on US strikes vs Iranian targets today: 2 Iranian boats were caught laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, senior US official tells me. The US military eliminated both IRGC vessels and also struck at a SAM (surface to air missile) site in Bandar Abbas that was targeting US warplanes. “These were defensive strikes.” They do not indicate ceasefire is over, according to two well placed sources.

CENTCOM spox Capt Tim Hawkins to Fox: “U.S. forces conducted self-defense strikes in southern Iran today to protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces. Targets included missile launch sites and Iranian boats attempting to emplace mines. U.S. Central Command continues to defend our forces while using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire.”

U.S. Air Force KC-135R and KC-46A aerial refueling aircraft were evacuated from Al Dhafra AB in the UAE earlier last week after being deployed there since early April. They may have been repositioned to Israel or Saudi Arabia.

Trump also insists that Saudi Arabia and Qatar should be the first to sign the Abraham Accords, with everyone else following their lead. I understand why he would say that about KSA, given its status as the spiritual and political heavyweight of the Muslim world. But why Qatar?

The UAE, Egypt, and Jordan? LOL What is this guy talking about? Those countries already have normalized relations with Israel, and the UAE was literally the first country to sign the Abraham Accords. Are they supposed to sign them again?

May 25 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday negotiations with Iran were "proceeding nicely" and said he asked countries including the UAE, Qatar, Pakistan, Egypt and Jordan to sign onto the Abraham Accords as part of U.S. efforts to reach a deal with Iran.

Muwaffaq al-Salti Air Base in Jordan 🇯🇴 is now fully packed with U.S. Air Force assets set to perform both defensive and offensive missions. Imagery below shows: • 18× F-35A Lightning II fighter jets • 6× EA-18G electronic warfare aircraft • ~24× F-15E Strike Eagle jets • F-16 fighter jets on the tarmac and likely inside hardened aircraft shelters

Increased U.S. military air activity is currently being observed over the Persian Gulf. A U.S. Navy P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft is conducting an ISR mission alongside a U.S. Air Force E-3B Sentry AWACS aircraft, with multiple tanker aircraft operating in support.

Since the war began, a notable U.S. military presence has been observed at Jordan’s King Feisal bin Abdul Aziz Air Base. More importantly, the base appears to be undergoing major expansion, likely to support a larger U.S. troop presence.

This map highlights recently built IDF military bases along the Egyptian border, inside Zone D under the Camp David Peace Accords’ Security Annex, which restricts the deployment of heavy military equipment in the area. Israeli bases inside the zone are marked in red.
