Ukraine military leadership adopts expanded deep-strike strategy to preserve personnel

Houthi forces have escalated maritime threats in the Red Sea, claiming an attack on a Saudi oil tanker and issuing blockade warnings to commercial vessels. Concurrently, the US confirmed a third fatality from an attack on its Jordan base, attributed to Iranian-backed proxies, while an unverified report of an Iranian missile strike in Aqaba, Jordan, signals potential direct escalation. These events occur amidst high-level Russia-Iran security consultations, indicating continued alignment.
