🇦🇪 U.A.E. Wants to Force Hormuz Open and Is Willing to Join the Fight WSJ: The UAE is preparing to join military operations to force open the Strait of Hormuz and is lobbying for a UN Security Council resolution to authorize it, which would make it the first Gulf state to formally enter the war as a combatant. Emirati diplomats are urging the US and military powers in Europe and Asia to form a coalition. The UAE has also called on the US to seize Iranian-held islands in the strait, including Abu Musa — claimed by the UAE for half a century. Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states now want the war to continue until Iran is disabled or toppled, though they have stopped short of committing their militaries. Iran's response has been immediate. Nearly 50 ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones struck the UAE on Tuesday alone. Tehran has warned it will destroy the vital civilian infrastructure of any Gulf state that supports operations against its territory. One US congressman put it plainly: "I don't think we can do it. All Iran has to do is keep the strait under threat — one drone, one mine, one small suicide boat."

🇺🇦🇰🇵 The Armed Forces of Ukraine underestimated the fighters from North Korea, who helped Russia drive Ukrainian troops out of the Kursk region. This was stated in an interview with "Left Bank" by the former commander of the 80th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and now the deputy commander of the 7th Corps, Colonel Pavel Rozlach, who was involved in planning the operation to invade the Kursk region two years ago, reports a correspondent of "PolitNavigator". According to him, the physical training of the Koreans "was colossal", and the Koreans did not surrender in captivity. "For the first attacks, they dismounted 15 kilometers before the line of confrontation with all their ammunition and backpacks, went closer to the positions, and then ran like Usain Bolt. They are very fast, they shoot on the run... If you compare the "Wagnerites" of 2022 with the Koreans, then the "Wagnerites" are children. Technologically, the Koreans were behind, but their infantry is a terrifying force," said the Ukrainian commander. - UARU
