Al-Masdar Online reported violent clashes on the Al-Dhabab front, west of Taiz, around the Hanjar checkpoint and the Al-Maqbaba hill, amid what it described as escalating confrontations from continuing Houthi attacks on several Taiz fronts. The article does not identify the forces fighting the Houthis, give casualty figures, or provide a Houthi account, and the exact date and duration of the fighting are not specified beyond the publication date. The characterization of Houthi attacks as the cause reflects the outlet's framing.

A field source told Al-Masdar Online that clashes broke out between government forces and the popular resistance on one side and the Houthis on the other in the Al-Sarari area, south of Taiz governorate. The report does not say how the fighting started, how long it lasted, or whether there were casualties, and it provides no account from the Houthis. It appears among several reports of heightened fighting on Taiz and Lahj fronts reported on the same day, but the specific outcome in Al-Sarari is not stated.

Heavy clashes continued for a second day between Yemeni government forces and the Houthis on fronts north of Al-Mudharaba district in Lahj governorate, following a large Houthi assault on government and tribal positions along the front, including areas up to Al-Ruwais and Al-Misrakh, per field sources cited by Al-Masdar Online. The Giants Brigades and Dir' al-Watan forces are named as defending; the Giants Brigades announced reinforcements. The claims come from unnamed field sources; no Houthi account or casualty figures are given.

According to Al-Araby Al-Jadeed's summary, Russian President Vladimir Putin conveyed Tehran's vision for resolving the conflict to US President Donald Trump, which the report presents as part of ongoing diplomatic efforts. The summary gives no date or format for the exchange, no details of Iran's proposal, and no confirmation from Moscow, Washington or Tehran. It is unclear from the source which conflict is meant beyond the context of US–Iran tensions and the Strait of Hormuz, so the claim should be treated as unverified.

Iran is working with Oman to ensure navigation security in the Strait of Hormuz and has reached an agreement on safe corridors, according to Al-Araby Al-Jadeed's summary of a report on statements by Iran's Supreme National Security Council secretary. The summary does not give the corridors' locations, the agreement's terms or date, or any Omani confirmation. Because the same report says Hormuz stays closed pending Iran's conditions, how the corridors would operate is unclear.

Mohsen Rezaei said the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed unless Iran's seven conditions are accepted, and that Iran will keep control of the strait to secure the Gulf, according to Al-Araby Al-Jadeed's summary. The report does not specify the seven conditions, when or how the closure was imposed, or the extent of the disruption to shipping. The statement is an Iranian official's declaration of position rather than a verified account of conditions in the strait, and no independent confirmation or response from other states is included.

Mohsen Rezaei, identified in the report as secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, said the United States accepted some of Tehran's conditions while its replies on the rest were vague, prompting Iran to demand clarifications, per Al-Araby Al-Jadeed's summary. He also said Washington had tried diplomatic channels but then resorted to violence, which he called betrayal. The source gives no date or location, does not list the conditions, and presents these as Iranian claims without a US response.
