In this update, I will review the Ansar Allah advance in Taiz province and the significance of the fall of Turba, a strategic node on the main Taiz-Aden route that, if cut off, would make it more difficult for pro-government forces to supply and put Taiz under siege. I will also discuss the axes of advance, the reported withdrawal of some pro-government forces towards Aden, and Ansar Allah’s readiness to negotiate.

In the Iran section, I will discuss Washington’s view on Iran’s seven-day plan through mediators. In the Ethiopia and Eritrea section, I will review the recapture of Makkah by Ethiopian federal government forces and the potential for regional tensions to escalate.

I will also review the news of the relocation of US ships: the USS George H. W. Bush has arrived in Phuket and the USS Theodore Roosevelt is en route to the region; The USNI report describes the Roosevelt's mission as a replacement for the George Washington, although the possibility of a temporal overlap between the ships has been raised.
