🚨🇺🇸🇸🇦 The State Department issued a worldwide travel caution as embassies across the Gulf warned of airspace closures, and Iraqi sources say the fear is a Houthi and Iraqi militia ground raid into Saudi Arabia The alerts went out to Americans in Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Iraq, Lebanon and Israel within minutes of each other, warning of cancelled flights and closed skies, and the worldwide caution followed, naming Houthi attacks on Saudi civilian airports as the reason. The raid claim comes from a single Iraqi outlet and is unconfirmed. Malcolm Nance, who fought in the 1985 desert war in Chad, thinks the right word is maraud rather than invade. Fifty pickups skip the border post, wreck the Jizan refinery 25 kilometers inside the kingdom, gas up at Saudi stations and drive home. They can't hold a town. They don't need to. The bigger question is why Riyadh's Apaches aren't already patrolling that border, because a kingdom that won't mobilize teaches its enemies that the next raid is free. @MalcolmNance

🇾🇪 🇸🇦 1,600 Libyans were killed in an assault that only needed pickup trucks with guns bolted to them, and the Houthis have studied it. Fmr. U.S. Navy intel officer Malcolm Nance draws a straight line from the Toyota War to what fast-moving Houthi columns could do rolling north into Saudi territory: "Every one of these scenarios that sounds crazy is now viable." Saudi Arabia spent hundreds of billions on aircraft and air defense designed to stop a conventional army, and none of it was built for a few hundred trucks moving faster than the kingdom can make decisions. @MalcolmNance

The Moscow Oil Refinery was hit during drone attacks that were part of the largest overnight Ukrainian barrage this year, as Russia entered the final day of voting in its parliamentary elections.

🇸🇦 🇾🇪 Saudi Arabia may have to ask permission from Yemen or Iran to ship its own oil. Fmr. U.S. Navy intel officer Malcolm Nance has been warning for weeks that the kingdom is losing control of every route out. "Whether they have to kiss the ring of a Shia muslim government in Yemen or Iran to move any of their oil out of their own country, that will become unacceptable." A monarchy built entirely on selling crude cannot survive someone else holding the door, and Riyadh will either cut a deal it hates or start a war it has already shown no appetite for fighting. @MalcolmNance

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran's armed forces went to Code 100, the alert level reserved for an attack it believes is imminent, as a loaded B-1 bomber left England and the president cut his weekend short Every American embassy from Jerusalem to Abu Dhabi warned its citizens tonight, then the State Department issued a worldwide caution, then the White House moved the president's return from Camp David up a day, and CNN reported the weekend meeting was spent reviewing strike options for Yemen. Tehran answered by putting its military and the Revolutionary Guard on their highest footing. One B-1B took off from Fairford carrying up to 75,000 pounds of ordnance. One aircraft is a rehearsal, a bluff or the first of many, and nobody outside the Pentagon knows which. If the target is the Houthis, the thing to remember is that ten years of Saudi bombing with American help never broke them, so this would be bought with Saudi pressure, not confidence. @WeTheBrandon

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 Every U.S embassy from Beirut to Muscat dropped a security alert at the same moment. Fmr. U.S Navy intel officer Malcolm Nance reads a simultaneous warning like that as Washington bracing for something it plans to start. "It could be an indicator that the United States is expecting to prepare imminent action against Iran, and would expect Iran to retaliate in such a way that it would impact Dubai International, Manama, Bahrain International, Kuwait City, Muscat, Oman." Embassies warn their own people before the shooting starts, so anyone with a flight booked through the Gulf in the next week should probably be watching this closely. @MalcolmNance
