An American citizen remains in Iranian custody following Operation Rising Lion, with one other American citizen of Jewish faith having been released. The remaining American is among five individuals whose nationalities have not been disclosed, according to a report from [@kaisos1987](https://twitter.com/kaisos1987). The detention of the American citizen occurred in the context of dozens of individuals being detained in Iran in connection with Operation Rising Lion. The specific timing and location of the detentions were not provided in the source material, but the report indicates that two of the detained individuals held American citizenship, with one subsequently being released. Separately, Hezbollah Chief of Staff Fuad Shower was reported to be present at an anniversary festival that is currently underway, as stated by [@kaisos1987](https://twitter.com/kaisos1987). In maritime security news, the Houthis have publicly accused Cosmoship Management S.A., a Liberian-flagged company, of managing vessels that traded with Israel. The Houthis specifically named the HSL NIKE and FAITH, alleging they made a total of six shipments to Israeli ports in Haifa and Ashkelon, according to a media release. The HSL NIKE allegedly made four shipments from Damietta, Egypt, and Turkey to Haifa between March 2025 and July 2025. The FAITH, a bulk carrier, is said to have delivered two shipments from Turkey and Port Said, Egypt, to Ashkelon in late 2024 and early 2025. The Houthis have warned that vessels operated by Cosmoship Management S.A. are legitimate military targets under their rules of engagement, as they claim the company operates multiple ships collaborating with Israel. This statement is part of the Houthis' ongoing campaign to disrupt maritime routes linked to Israel and justify recent attacks on commercial shipping.
