NATO does not see imminent threat of conflict 🇸🇦🇮🇷 Ali Shihabi says Saudi Arabia never wanted this war. His view is that Riyadh warned Washington it would become exactly the kind of regional mess we’re seeing now. “The kingdom was very, very clear… it did not want the war.” Shihabi believes the Trump administration badly misjudged how quickly the conflict could be contained, while Gulf states understood from the start that they would be among the easiest targets if things spiraled. And his verdict on the war itself is unusually blunt: “It was not a smart decision.” He still thinks Iran’s economic pain will eventually force some kind of deal. America made the decision, and the Gulf is living with the consequences. @aliShihabi BREAKING: Diddy RUSHED To Hospital From PRISON! benny 🇩🇰 🇫🇴 🇬🇱 🇪🇺 🇺🇦: 🚨 **WHAT IS HAPPENING BEHIND CLOSED DOORS BETWEEN TRUMP, UKRAINE AND EUROPE?** Reports by CNN and the *Financial Times* allege that US officials have threatened to restrict critical support for Ukraine if Kyiv continues its attacks on Russian oil refineries and energy Another late report from UKMTO, saying that a crude oil tanker was struck yesterday by an unknown projectile in the Strait of Hormuz.

Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia have already activated their Mecca pact and discussed rapid deployment. Still, Ankara has so far limited itself to defensive and technical help and ruled out any offensive role. Writer: Lucas The BBC pays White employees less on average than ethnic minority colleagues in six of its seven salary bands, according to its 2025/26 pay gap figures. Black, Asian, mixed-race and other ethnic minority employees earn 13.2% more in median pay in the lowest salary band and 5.3% more in the highest, while White employees earn just 0.6% more in the only band where they lead. The figures also reveal that women in senior leadership earn 1.4% more than men and disabled managers earn 7.5% more than non-disabled colleagues. Former Culture Secretary Sir John Whittingdale said BBC employees should be paid according to the “value and merit they contribute”, regardless of race, sexuality or gender. Russian, US companies negotiating diesel supplies 3pm ET, October 12 | The latest headlines from NPR Houthis ‘are thriving and surviving by creating war’, Yemen ambassador says “Mən bu qərarı çox yaxşı qarşılamışam” 🇾🇪 Yemen’s government military claimed on 12 October that Operation Dawn of Yemen had “neutralized” around 950 Houthi fighters and destroyed or disabled 380 military vehicles and assets across 1,879 targeting operations. Spokesman Majed al-Nuzaili said airstrikes hit reinforcements in Taiz. (The figures are preliminary and independently unverified; “neutralized” does not mean confirmed killed.) 🇸🇦🇮🇷 One claim I’ve heard repeatedly is that Gulf states are paying Iran to get oil through the Strait of Hormuz. Ali Shihabi flatly rejected that, at least when it comes to Saudi Arabia. “Saudi Arabia is not paying anything to the Iranians.” If Riyadh were paying Tehran for safe passage, it would make little sense for Iran to keep attacking tankers. What he does confirm is that moving oil has become enormously more expensive, with tanker costs surging and Saudi Arabia increasingly relying on its own fleet and alternative export routes. So even if the “Saudi transit fee” story is wrong, Hormuz is still extracting a price. Just not necessarily the one people think. @aliShihabi Selma Blair hospitalized after allegedly physically injuring flight attendants on plane IT’S TIME FOR STRANGE SPY FACTS! FANCY-PANTSY EDITION!
