Syria Rejects Desperate Saudi Plea To Deploy Militants To Yemen
Provocative rumors have been flying all week that Saudi Arabia has recruited Syrian militants to fight the Houthis in Yemen, at a moment the Iran-aligned rebel groups is said to be rapidly gobbling up more territory, especially along the Red Sea coast.
The claim has been especially strong in Lebanese media, after prominent Al-Akhbar reported this week that hundreds of Syrian fighters were recently transferred to southern Saudi Arabia, including fighters who took part in the Jolani/HTS-led fight to topple Bashar al-Assad in December 2024. However, it's unclear if the alleged fighters have Syrian state backing (whether on a covert level or not), or if they could be there on their own initiative as mercenaries.

Israel Seeks 'Compensation' From Washington Over Saudi F-35 Sale
Via The Cradle,
Israel is expected to seek "compensation" from the US in the form of weapons systems that Washington has so far declined to sell to Tel Aviv, in response to US plans to sell F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia in a $25 billion deal, Walla reported on 18 September.

A source familiar with the matter told the Hebrew news outlet that the Israeli military would prefer that no other country in West Asia receive the F-35 to preserve Israel's qualitative military edge (QME) in the region.
The deal marks the first time an Arab state gains access to the F-35, the US military's most advanced warplane.
"This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States by improving the security of a major non-NATO ally that is a force for political stability and economic progress in the Gulf region," the State Department ...

Winter Is Coming: Saudis Warn European Refiners Of Crude Shipment Disruptions Next Month (ZeroHedge)

Winter Is Coming: Saudis Warn European Refiners Of Crude Shipment Disruptions Next Month
Hopes earlier this week that Saudi Arabia could restore roughly half the capacity of its East-West pipeline and resume crude loadings for Europe faded by the end of the week. The pipeline bypasses the Strait of Hormuz and carries crude to a Red Sea export terminal, making its recovery critical to restoring disrupted shipments to the energy-stricken continent.
Bloomberg reports that Saudi Aramco told at least two European refiners they would receive no crude deliveries next month, with the decision reportedly extending to all European buyers.
The suspension would force refiners to secure replacement barrels elsewhere and bid up crude in international markets, potentially raising feedstock costs and adding pressure to Europe's petroleum products market ahead of the Northern Hemisphere winter, when already tight diesel and natural gas supplies leave limited room for further disruptions.
