They’re not going to let me get hurt.” Source: Al Jazeera / Writer: Daniel

🇮🇱 🇮🇷 🇺🇸 Daily news recap: Dozens of Israeli jets flew all the way to Iran’s border and turned back... and some US officials suspect it was bait. Israel called it a training run ahead of its October 27 election, video shows Iran trucking ballistic missiles into position in the west, and Iran’s foreign minister says diplomacy only returns once Washington accepts it has no military option. The bet here is that Israel moves before Israelis vote: “The Israelis are going to hit first.” If Israel strikes and Iran answers, Washington gets pulled in whether the midterms are over or not. @WeTheBrandon

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇱 Israeli jets just launched a "massive power projection operation" toward Iran as US embassies order families out of Qatar, Jordan and Bahrain... the only other times this year came after the bombs were already falling Explosions reportedly hit Iran's Hormuz coast tonight while NBC reported diplomats evacuating, and the jets taking off from Israel are the same ones that rehearsed a refueled run to the border on Monday. Anthony Aguilar, retired Army lieutenant colonel, says the rehearsal is over: "This could be the thing that they were rehearsing." Anthony believes the Roosevelt's Japan stop was to load bombs, and by his count only six bunker busters remain, so Trump's MOAB is the weapon in play. A slow C130 only works close to the coast, so the first targets look like Iran's power and water, which is exactly the kind of strike Iran says makes Gulf infrastructure fair game.

🇾🇪 🇸🇦 🇮🇶 Daily news recap: Pro Houthi channels are openly talking about invading Saudi Arabia... and Iran friendly militias in Iraq could hit the kingdom from the north. The Houthis are hitting the border, building up and riding a fresh battlefield win, while attacks out of Iraq keep piling up, which could add up to a two front push on Saudi Arabia’s southern provinces: “It’s a possibility. It’s something we have to entertain now because we’re in a really weird moment.” Saudi defenses were built to handle one front at a time, and the kingdom may soon have to deal with two. @WeTheBrandon

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russia may have ZERO REASON to accept a ceasefire in Ukraine, and Putin could be preparing to demand even MORE territory. Lt. Col. Daniel Davis (Ret.) warns that while Zelensky now appears willing to freeze the war along the current front lines, Moscow may have already moved beyond that possibility. He argues that Russia has gained additional territory in Sumy, Kharkiv, and Dnipropetrovsk, while Ukraine faces mounting shortages of troops and air defenses. And he believes Putin knows EXACTLY how much leverage he has. Give Moscow everything it demands, or watch Russian forces keep advancing until Ukraine faces TERMS OF SURRENDER. @DanielLDavis1

🇭🇹🇸🇻 Haiti's gangs may have just made the WORST and LAST mistake of their lives Four Salvadoran aviation technicians disappeared after armed gangs ambushed their vehicle near Port-au-Prince. Bukele emphasized that they were there to perform medical evacuations and SAVE LIVES. Now, a military rescue operation is ongoing and Bukele delivered a BRUTAL ultimatum to the gang leaders, directly in Haitian Creole. “We have already finished with the gangs in El Salvador, and we can finish with yours too.” Writer: Sol t.co/uHD1T4LFqo

Israeli fighter jets are flying close to Iran again now, after dozens did on Monday, keeping Iran on their toes before the actual attack begins Also today, U.S. embassies told staff to leave with their families (as they did in March when the war started), and troops are leaving bases in Qatar, Jordan and Kuwait I cannot believe I'm saying this, but unfortuantely, war seems imminent

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇷🇺 The U.S. just HIT Iran with fresh sanctions and handed Russia’s Lukoil extra time. The Treasury’s new Iran list hits 5 people, 4 companies and 9 ships, all in one go. And on the very same day, Lukoil reportedly got until November 21 to sell off its foreign assets. Tough on Iran, easy on Russia, that’s been the vibe in Washington lately.

🚨🇮🇷🇮🇱🇺🇸 BREAKING: Reports of multiple IRGC cruise missile launches from Sirik toward the Strait of Hormuz, with fighter jets reportedly active at the northern Iraq-Iran border at the same time Both are unconfirmed. The launch reports come from the same stretch of coast where explosions hit an IRGC missile unit earlier today, and the jets over the Iraq-Iran frontier are being read as Israeli, repeating the strike route dozens of Israeli aircraft flew Monday before turning back at the border.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱 BREAKING: AIPAC drops candidate endorsements and direct donations after its stamp of approval turned into a political liability AIPAC says it will stop endorsing candidates and stop routing money to them directly, shifting to individual donors instead: "We must build a more strategic, consequential, and nimble political operation." The timing says otherwise. This summer, 104 House members voted to end military aid to Israel, endorsed lawmakers started returning AIPAC money, and its name became an attack ad in primaries. Voters are tired of Gaza, tired of an Iran war, and tired of commentators branding critics antisemites... and when the most powerful lobby in Washington goes undercover two weeks before the midterms, that fatigue has officially won.

🇮🇱🇮🇷🇺🇸 Dozens of Israeli jets and refueling tankers flew 800 miles toward Iran on Monday, and some US officials suspect it was bait to make Tehran fire first An Israeli strike reportedly planned for October 10 was called off over Trump's objection to restarting before the midterms, and if Iran can be goaded into striking first, Netanyahu never has to convince Washington of anything. Trita Parsi of the Quincy Institute says munitions have moved into Israel in the last couple of weeks, and he warns that if Trump pulls back at the last minute to cut a deal, especially after a midterm loss, the danger flips: "The Israelis will preempt, not the Iranians, not the Americans, but a deal between the US and Iran and strike and try to blow it up." A messy coalition count after October 27 keeps Netanyahu prime minister and his hand on the trigger well past the vote. @tparsi

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. is preparing to EVACUATE embassy personnel and their families across the Gulf as fears of renewed fighting in the Middle East grow. THREE American officials confirmed preparations for mandatory departures, with the threat of renewed HOUTHI ATTACKS from Yemen driving the decision. Washington is considering evacuating EVERYONE from its diplomatic mission in SAUDI ARABIA, including their families. The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh has already issued a security warning about possible new Houthi strikes, following deadly attacks that included Riyadh's airport. Source: Reuters / Writer: Sol

🇬🇷 Thousands of young COMMUNISTS flooded the streets of Athens, waving red flags as far-left movements continue mobilizing across Europe. Europe's growing unrest could serve the interests of powerful political actors who benefit from weakened national governments and increasingly divided populations. Now, watching thousands of activists take to the streets, it's worth asking WHO is organizing these movements, who's funding them, and what political objectives they're pursuing. I find the scale of these mobilizations suspicious, especially with so many European governments already facing mounting public anger. Are we watching a spontaneous wave of ideological activism, or is someone trying to turn Europe's political frustration into something much bigger? Writer: Sol t.co/eJJHBnoMJA

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. is running dangerously low on missile interceptors, yet Trump is STILL considering another war with Iran. WHY? Lt. Col. Daniel Davis (Ret.) delivers a BRUTAL assessment: he believes Trump's cognitive abilities have deteriorated to the point where his judgment is seriously compromised. He argues that Trump's decision-making has become increasingly IRRATIONAL, leaving him vulnerable to advisers who keep promising that another attack on Iran will finally work. He claims military and intelligence officials warned the administration MONTHS before the war that the strategy was doomed, yet those warnings were ignored. And he fears Trump's perceived success in Venezuela has fueled a dangerous belief that he can pull off ANY military operation, regardless of the risks. Trump may be so convinced of his own invincibility that he's ready to take America STRAIGHT OFF THE CLIFF. @DanielLDavis1

🇺🇸🇸🇦 EA is shutting down BioWare, the studio behind Mass Effect and Dragon Age. That means around 400 jobs gone, about 50 of them at BioWare, and the next Mass Effect game is dead before it really got going. It’s all part of EA tightening its belt after going private 2 months ago in a $55 billion buyout led by Saudi Arabia’s investment fund, a deal that left it sitting on about $18 billion in debt. So the money is now going to the safer bets, sports games, Apex Legends, Battlefield, Star Wars and Iron Man. The studio that made gamers cry over RPGs just got its own sad ending.

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦 Trump thinks a Ukraine deal could be closer than it’s been in a long time. “When you’re close to a deal and you have very delicate negotiations, you don’t put sanctions on.” That’s his reason for waiving a new package of Russia sanctions last week. The Kremlin just called Ukraine’s latest peace ideas not very useful, so “maybe close” might be generous. Writer: Daniyal t.co/G9bLZt9KfR

🚨🇸🇦 A drone attack targeting a SAUDI ARAMCO oil field has left TWO people DEAD and two others injured in Saudi Arabia. Saudi air defenses intercepted the drone as it approached the Shaybah oil field, but falling debris set a contractor's vehicle ON FIRE, killing a Filipino and a Nepali national and injuring Pakistani and Indian workers. Saudi Energy Ministry says oil operations were unaffected. The attack comes as Yemen's HOUTHIS threaten to strike Saudi energy infrastructure, with tensions between the two sides escalating.

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 A new U.S. strike on Iran could trigger a MUCH BIGGER WAR, with Tehran determined to make sure Washington can't simply attack and walk away. Lt. Col. Daniel Davis (Ret.), Fmr. U.S. Army officer, warns that the military signals he's hearing point toward a major U.S.-Israeli operation, potentially larger than previous rounds of fighting. He argues that Iran has little reason to accept another symbolic strike, knowing the U.S. could simply rebuild its military capabilities and attack again years later. Instead, Tehran may seek retaliation severe enough to discourage future American presidents from repeating the cycle. And Davis sees another danger: even if Trump wants to walk away, he fears Israel could take action that drags Washington back into the conflict. So the U.S. may be approaching a war it will find VERY DIFFICULT to escape. @DanielLDavis1

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇱 Smoke over Sirik on Iran's Hormuz coast as White House sources tell Haaretz the US position shifted toward a preemptive strike after Hegseth saw Israeli intelligence The footage is unconfirmed and the cause of the explosion is still unclear per Iranian state media, with early reports pointing to a hit on an IRGC anti-ship missile unit. It all lines up with this week's reports that Israeli jets flew to Iran's border hoping to trigger an Iranian response. Source: Haaretz, WFWitness on TG / Writer: Daniel

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran’s foreign minister just laid out his case for ending the war, and it starts with trust. Araghchi says Iran wants a fair deal, but doesn't trust Washington's promises of peace. He says the U.S. bombed Iran twice during talks, then again shortly after a deal was signed in June. “How can we trust a U.S. president again?” Still, he’s offering a 7-day plan: Hormuz reopens on Day 6, and talks on a final deal start on Day 7. And he has a message for Trump. He says the war has cost Americans an estimated $2,000 per household, the U.S. hasn't achieved its goals, and Iran will always have enormous leverage over Hormuz because of its location. And if the U.S. goes for more strikes, Araghchi says it'll only end in an even bigger failure. Talks or more bombs, that's the choice he's putting in front of Trump.

🚨 BREAKING: 🇮🇷 Reports of EXPLOSIONS in Sirik, southern Iran, with footage appearing to show plumes of smoke rising over the area.

🇮🇱🇮🇷 Israel sent DOZENS of fighter jets right up to Iran’s border 2 days ago, then turned them around. They flew 800+ miles through Syria and Iraq, refueling planes and all, on a route that looked a LOT like an actual strike on Iran. Israel’s story? Just a training run to show its strength and keep Iran from trying anything before Israel’s elections. But some U.S. officials got the feeling Israel was hoping Iran would shoot at the jets, giving it an excuse to hit back. And this is after Netanyahu reportedly pitched Trump on a BIG new strike on Iran before both countries vote, and Trump eventually decided against it. A “training flight” that looks like a strike, a week before Netanyahu faces voters, sure. Source: Axios / Writer: Daniyal

🇫🇷 The violent riots tearing through France could be just the beginning of something MUCH BIGGER across Europe. Historian and broadcaster Neil Oliver warns that years of economic frustration and political anger have created an explosive situation, and he suspects STATE ACTORS are deliberately fueling the chaos. He claims the destruction and street violence are being used to distract people from what he sees as a far more disturbing agenda: European governments systematically weakening their own countries. He points to France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, and Greece, accusing powerful forces in Brussels of undermining national sovereignty. He also believes the EU's leadership doesn't WANT strong, independent European nations. @thecoastguy
