U.S. Central Command reveals Killing of Houthi Drone Expert in Iraq
The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) has confirmed the killing of a Houthi-affiliated expert in an airstrike targeting a site inside Iraqi territory, where he was reportedly working alongside members of Kataib Hezbollah and Lebanese Hezbollah to provide technical support in drone operations. The announcement came from General Michael Kurilla during a hearing before the U.S. House Armed Services Committee, where he stated that the strike was carried out in April 2024 and was part of Washington's broader efforts to 'contain Iranian regional influence and prevent advanced weapons from reaching militia groups.' Kurilla emphasized that, despite receiving heavy blows, the Houthi group still poses an "active threat to international navigation" in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandeb Strait. He also revealed that approximately 80% of Houthi military supplies arrive via maritime smuggling routes originating in Iran. Additionally, he disclosed the existence of a confidential agreement recently reached between the U.S. and the Houthis, in which both sides agreed to suspend attacks—maritime and aerial respectively—allowing four American destroyers to safely transit through the Red Sea. Observers note that this incident highlights the increasing level of cooperation between Iran-aligned militias in the region and reflects the expanding reach of Houthi operations beyond Yemen's borders, amid continued instability across multiple conflict zones.

Iranian Intelligence Minister: We have obtained treasure trove of Zionist nuclear documents
Tehran – Saba: Iranian Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib confirmed on Sunday that his country has obtained a "treasure trove of strategic, operational, and scientific information from the Zionist entity." In an interview with Iranian television, Khatib revealed details of the intelligence operation to obtain strategic and sensitive documents related to the Zionist entity. He considered that the documents obtained by Iranian intelligence regarding the Israeli enemy's nuclear projects and facilities "strengthen Iran's offensive capability." He explained, "What happened is a very significant intelligence event, as the matter cannot be reduced to obtaining only thousands of documents. We obtained complete nuclear documents, as well as documents about the Israeli enemy's relations with Western countries and the United States." The Iranian Intelligence Minister spoke about the execution of the operation, saying that "these documents were transferred into Iran safely," indicating that "the methods of transporting the documents into Iran are just as important as the documents themselves," but he declined to reveal the methods of transporting the documents at this time. He stated, "The operation took place some time ago, but we preferred to wait before announcing the news to ensure the safety of the operation," stressing that "the documents will be revealed soon." Khatib stated that the operation "was complex, extensive, and multifaceted, as it was planned by attracting elements to gain access to the required sources." Commenting on this, Israeli enemy media outlets stated that "the timing of Iran's announcement of its acquisition of documents related to Israeli nuclear technology is linked to the negotiations with Washington." These leaks come at a time when the region is witnessing escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, amid the enemy's threats to bomb nuclear sites, and amid ongoing indirect nuclear talks between Tehran and Washington, in an attempt to reach an agreement regarding the nuclear program.

Reports: Iran Recommends Restructuring Yemen's Houthis "Away from Official Institutions''
Sanaa – Intelligence sources have revealed Iranian recommendations aimed at restructuring the Houthi group away from the official institutions it controls, in a bid to strengthen absolute loyalty to Tehran and shield the group from potential security breaches. According to reports, Iran seeks to dismantle the traditional ties between Houthi fighters and Yemen's military establishment, replacing them with individuals it describes as "mujahideen," even if they are new to combat, ensuring they are trained under a strictly Iranian ideological framework. Security sources have confirmed that the overlap between the Houthis and state institutions has become a security vulnerability, allowing for precision strikes against the group in recent months. In response, Tehran has proposed creating parallel entities to manage military and political decision-making, independent of formal government structures.
