Headlines- Ali al-Zaidi, the prime minister of Iraq, said that he had dismissed the commander of the province and ordered an investigation into the operations command in Maysan province, which is located on the Iranian border, after authorities confirmed that the attacks against a pipeline in Saudi Arabia were carried out from a site within the province.
- Iran is "probably" responsible for the attack on the critical Saudi oil pipeline, according to US President Donald Trump's statement on Saturday.
- According to US President Donald Trump, the Houthis called Washington, asking that it refrain from getting involved in the conflict with Yemen's internationally recognized government.
- After a rapid advance against government forces, which retaliated with a series of airstrikes along Yemen's west coast, Iran-aligned Houthi forces have taken complete control of the country's Red Sea coast.
- The Trump administration does not now intend to conduct direct military assaults against the Houthis, but it is providing Saudi Arabia with substantial intelligence and targeting assistance.
- About 20,000 people protested the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party and right-wing hate speech in Düsseldorf under the banner "Not a Step Back!" according to the police.
