📋 THE WEEKEND'S BIGGEST DEVELOPMENTS - Sept 25-27

1️⃣ 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump rejected Iran's offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 7 days in exchange for ending the US blockade, sanctions relief and frozen assets - Tehran says it's still waiting for a "definitive" American answer.

4️⃣ 🇸🇦🇾🇪 Saudi Arabia says it intercepted 2 Houthi ballistic missiles and 2 drones fired at Riyadh and Khamis Mushait, and France is sending troops to guard the Yanbu oil terminal.

5️⃣ 🇾🇪 Yemen's government launched its biggest ground push in months around Taiz, claiming dozens of Houthi fighters killed as the Houthis dig in along the Bab al-Mandeb coast.

6️⃣ 🇮🇱🇱🇧 South Lebanon flare-up: Hezbollah sent an explosive drone at Israeli troops and the IDF hit back across several districts, including its first Apache helicopter strike there.

7️⃣ 🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russian mass strikes over the weekend killed at least 14 and wounded 57 across Ukraine on Sunday alone, with Kyiv and Odesa among the targets.
