Latest w/ @Lloydslisted & @ecegoksedef: Traffic through the SoH is increasingly being diverted through what has been dubbed the “Tehran Toll Booth”, where the IRGC is understood to be verifying vessel details and, in some cases, extolling a fee. Free to read @ @LloydsList ⬇️:

🚨An Israeli official told ne the mediating countries were trying to convene a meeting in Islamabad — with Ghalibaf and other officials representing Tehran, and Witkoff, Kushner and possibly Vice President Vance representing the U.S. - possibly later this week

IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin stresses that the Iranian ballistic missiles that struck the southern cities of Dimona and Arad this evening are not a new threat, after air defenses failed so shoot them down. "The air defense systems operated but did not intercept the missile, we will investigate the incident and learn from it. This is not a special or unfamiliar type of munition," he says in a post on X. Defrin says "our hearts are with the residents of Arad and Dimona tonight" and wishes the dozens of victims a speedy recovery. "It is important to remember, follow the Home Front Command guidelines. They save lives," he adds.

Rather than trying to become an overnight expert on #Iran's diverse ballistic missile arsenal. Just follow @fab_hinz:

Iran attempted to strike Diego Garcia, located 3,800km from its shores, revealing it possesses intermediate-range missiles capable of reaching much, or even all, of Europe. Thread on what we know about Iran's long-range missile capabilities. 1/18

Medics and rescue forces are responding to reports of an impact in Dimona following Iran's latest ballistic missile fire.

🚨An Israeli official said the strike on the gas facility was coordinated between the Israeli prime minister's office and the White House 🚨The official said it was aimed at signaling to Iran that if it continues disrupting oil supply through the strait of Hormuz there could be an escalation in the targeting of its energy facilities and a worsening of the economic crisis in the country 🚨"It was a signal of what could come next", the official said

(Reuters) - Iran issued an evacuation warning for several oil facilities across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, saying they would be targeted by strikes "in the coming hours", Iranian state media reported on Wednesday. Note: Includes Saudi Samref Refinery at Yanbu on the Red Sea coast, which has become THE essential oil export route.

NEW: @DNIGabbard provides first official IC assessment of impact of Epic Fury: "The IC assesses the regime in Iran appears to be intact, but largely degraded due to attacks on its leadership and military capabilities. Its conventional military power projection capabilities have largely been destroyed, leaving limited options... Even if the regime remains intact, the IC assesses that internal tensions are likely to increase as economic as Iran's economy worsens. Even so, Iran and its proxies continue to attack U.S. and allied interests in the Middle East. The IC assesses that if a hostile regime survives, it will likely seek to begin a years long effort to rebuild its military missiles and UAV forces."

Hours ago, U.S. forces successfully employed multiple 5,000-pound deep penetrator munitions on hardened Iranian missile sites along Iran’s coastline near the Strait of Hormuz. The Iranian anti-ship cruise missiles in these sites posed a risk to international shipping in the strait.
