Iranian military forces launched a large-scale retaliation on the morning of August 31, the evening of September 1, and the early morning of September 2, in response to U.S. airstrikes on southern and central Iran. The operation involved waves of precision ballistic missiles and scores of loitering munitions targeting American assets across multiple countries, including the U.S. Fifth Fleet and Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain, Muwaffaq Salti and Prince Hassan Air Bases and Camp Titin in Jordan, Ali Al-Salem and Ahmad Al-Jaber in Kuwait, Al-Dhafra and Al-Minhad in the UAE, and Al-Harir and Erbil in Iraq.

In the early hours of June 11, the Iranian Armed Forces launched retaliatory strikes against U.S. military installations across the region in response to American aggression on various locations in Iran.

On the morning of June 10, the Iranian Armed Forces, in response to U.S. aerial aggression against southern Iran, struck four American bases across the region with at least 20 ballistic missiles, including Qadr, Emad, and Kheibar Shekan types.

As Israeli forces continue their advance north of the Litani River on the Nabatieh axis, the regime’s forces have succeeded in capturing Al-Shaqif Castle (Beaufort Castle), and the area of Yohmor has effectively fallen, while Arnun is in a similar situation. Clashes are still ongoing in Eastern Zotar and the Mazraat al-Hamra area.

Heavy clashes continue between Israeli forces and Hezbollah fighters on the southern and eastern fronts of the town of Zotar. Current information indicates that Israeli forces are positioned south and east of Zotar, and have come under attack by Hezbollah fighters near three points: Bustan Zatam, the Al-Kashfi Complex, the Cultural Complex, and Tallet al-Khazzan.

With Saudi air support, forces of Yemen’s government-in-exile have taken control of the provinces of Abyan and Aden.

With the support of Saudi air power, the forces of Yemen’s government-in-exile regained control of Hadhramaut and Al-Mahra provinces, taking them back from the Southern Transitional Council.

The UAE’s exit from Yemen as the second key member of the Saudi-led coalition signals the failure of the coalition’s military strategy and a further shift in the balance of power toward Ansar Allah. This move weakens the exiled government and intensifies internal clashes between the Southern Transitional Council (STC) and Saudi-backed factions in southern and eastern Yemen — and could push southern groups toward declaring secession and courting new foreign sponsors.

Over the past 12 days, Russian forces captured the town of Seversk in Donetsk province. Other notable developments include advances in Huliaipole in Zaporizhzhia province, while clearing operations continue in Myrnohrad against remaining Ukrainian units.

Forces aligned with Saudi Arabia in the Second Military Region and Abyan province have announced their separation from the ousted government and joined the Southern Transitional Council.

After clashes subsided in Hadhramaut and Shabwa provinces, the Southern Transitional Council (STC) shifted its operations to Abyan province, aiming to clear areas under al‑Qaeda influence. Movements by southern fighters in Mudiyah and al‑Mahfad are expected to begin soon.
