🇺🇸🇮🇷 Treasury Secretary Bessent thinks Iran is hiding how far its currency has fallen. “I think it’s through three million, and that’s why they’ve stopped printing the price.” He also expects Iran’s economy to shrink by more than 25% in the year to March 2027, a worse hit than he says the Soviet Union took after it collapsed. Whatever the real number is, the rial has had a brutal year. Writer: Daniyal t.co/6SuET9tY3l

🇮🇱🇺🇸🇨🇳 Netanyahu BRAGS that the Palantir CEO called Israel the third AI power after the U.S. and China He quoted Alex Karp saying Europe is worth nothing, then added that the man still put Israel on the list. A ranking is one thing; lasting strength is harder when the same leadership keeps damaging the country’s global standing. Writer: Lucas t.co/iSa7CG1XFR

🇺🇸🇧🇷 Trump isn’t buying Lula’s win in Brazil’s runoff. “It looked like another rigged election, frankly.” He says he didn’t take sides, but he still called the whole thing a terrible look. Lula won a 4th term, and Flávio Bolsonaro is refusing to accept it and says he’ll challenge the result in court. Trump’s comments could give Bolsonaro’s legal fight extra fuel.

🇺🇸 Vance says gas prices SPIKE every time some tinpot dictator throws a tantrum He added that Democrats’ answer is just to complain and put up a few windmills. Of course, it has NOTHING at all to do with Trump bombing the crap out of Iran because Israel told him to Writer: Lucas t.co/udqnIaoSbN

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇹🇷 Treasury Secretary Bessent blames Iran’s regime for its economy. “Forty-seven years ago, the Iranian economy was bigger than the Turkish economy.” Now he says Turkey’s economy is 3.5 to 4 times bigger, and he puts the blame entirely on the regime’s choices. Quite a gap for 2 neighbors with roughly the same population. Writer: Daniyal t.co/vGGq25SXGA

🇺🇸 Bessent says Iran has NO OIL on the water for the first time since oil was discovered He told the Iranian people to buy heating oil now and start hoarding gasoline, pointing to zero loadings at Kharg Island and production already beginning to slow. No tankers leaving means the money stops coming in, and regular Iranians end up paying the price first. Writer: Lucas t.co/VM82v7i42w

🇺🇸 Vance says Democrats DON’T believe in America and taught kids to hate its history and flag He argued they feel more comfortable attacking the country than defending it. That’s what happens when a party spends years moving further left and treating basic patriotism as the enemy. Writer: Lucas t.co/90MxsvpoFi

🇬🇧 CCTV footage shows Chris Brown SMASHING a man with a bottle in a London nightclub, back in 2023. He can also be seen chasing the victim down with a group, and repeatedly battering him on the dance floor. He pleaded guilty to affray and walked out with a suspended sentence today. Usually tequila leaves you with a brutal hangover, but here it made a prison sentence disappear. Writer: Bri t.co/Jc2GRyzvri

🇺🇸🇿🇦 Rubio is hosting foreign ministers of the world’s biggest economies in Atlanta. The G20 talks run on October 30 and 31, and the U.S. wants to steer the group back toward the economy, from safe shipping routes to energy, food and supply chains. It’s also a warm-up for Trump’s G20 leaders’ summit at his Doral golf resort in Miami in December. One member won’t be at the table, though, since South Africa, last year’s host, has been shut out of this year’s G20 after a falling out with Trump. Rubio skipped South Africa’s version of this same meeting last year, calling its policies anti-American. Atlanta gets the spotlight, and South Africa watches from home.

🇱🇧🇮🇷 Iran is reportedly BANKROLLING Hezbollah’s next move while talking peace! Despite pretending to push for regional de-escalation, Iran has funneled tens of millions into Hezbollah to rearm for a fresh war with Israel. After losing thousands of fighters, the terror group is using the lull in to churn out explosive drones and repair broken command structures. Smile for the cameras, pay for the next slaughter… Source: Reuters / Writer: Bri

🇮🇱Netanyahu says an agreement with Iran is near impossible. He rejected diplomacy by asking if Churchill or Roosevelt ever negotiated with Hitler. The comparison is absurd. Churchill and Roosevelt fought an industrial war machine attempting to conquering Europe. Netanyahu's main activity right now is dropping bombs on a caged, starving population in Gaza. Get over yourself! Writer: Bri t.co/NWhliREKK4

🇮🇱 Defense Minister Katz BRAGS about leveling 60+ Lebanese villages and 23,000 homes... Is this supposed to get them re-elected? He said on TV that the southern zone, once home to roughly 200,000 people, is now empty and residents will not return. Israeli forces have been systematically demolishing villages in areas they control, with Katz comparing the approach to Gaza. With the election tomorrow, that is the record he is putting before voters. REALLY?! Writer: Lucas t.co/IUeVliCwMu

🇺🇸 Ilhan Omar is SHARING the stage tonight with Hasan Piker and Omar Fateh in Minneapolis Piker’s record of edgy takes has already made some Democrats nervous about the whole thing, and the timing right before the midterms isn’t helping.

🇮🇱🇺🇸 A $4.5 BILLION AI chip startup launched less than a year ago is already making its first acquisition, and Jeff Bezos is among its backers. Unconventional AI is buying Israeli chip startup NeuReality in a cash-and-stock deal, adding ~40 employees and maintaining an engineering presence in Israel. The company raised $475 million in December and is trying to build AI chips that are 1,000x more energy efficient than today's hardware by borrowing concepts from biological systems. CEO Naveen Rao says development has moved dramatically faster than expected thanks partly to AI tools: the company already has its first test chip and is nearing completion of a second. “We built up the research bones and now we've got to build up the production bones.” Source: Reuters / Writer: Samuel

🇮🇱 Netanyahu says his government fought racial discrimination: "I fought something that makes my blood boil: the idea of racial discrimination, and the terrible behavior we discovered among some of our police officers." Someone might want to tell him West Bank settlers are still filming themselves burning shops and beating people while the army watches. Plenty left to do if his blood is really boiling.

🇮🇱🇮🇷 Israel’s former army chief has his own idea of how to handle Iran. “Making regime change an objective of war is not the right thing to do.” He thinks the right move is destroying Iran’s nuclear program, its missiles and the proxy groups it backs, and says he knows how to do it. Eisenkot’s party has been leading Netanyahu’s in most polls ahead of the election. Israelis get to decide tomorrow whether they believe him. Writer: Daniyal t.co/OT7oHEJuIE

🇮🇷🇸🇦 The IEA’s boss doesn’t think energy markets will be back to normal next year. Oil shot up to $117 a barrel on Friday after more Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, the highest in almost 6 months, and it’s still about 59% pricier than before the war. He says these prices might be manageable for some countries in Europe, but for a lot of others, oil near $120 is hitting their trade deficits hard. And winter’s coming, so diesel demand for heating goes up just as several refineries go through their usual maintenance. Europe’s gas supply is getting squeezed too, since it cut Russian imports and Qatar and the UAE can’t export as much as before. So it’s gonna be a cold, pricey winter for plenty of countries.

The Economist's analysis shows Afghan nationals with a sexual-offence conviction rate roughly 7-8 times the British population rate. People from the Middle East and North Africa are shown at roughly 3-4x, while Sub-Saharan Africa is ~2–3x. EU nationals fall below the British rate, with East Asia and Oceania lower still.

🇮🇱 Gadi Eisenkot calls Netanyahu DELUSIONAL over Iran nuclear claims He claims the PM knew all along that the regime didn't have nuclear weapons despite using the threat to justify military escalation. With Israel heading into its first nationwide election since October 7, polling show Eisenkot's party leading Likud 23 seats to 19 👀 Writer: Bri t.co/rJDq1ySORS

🇮🇱🇮🇷 Netanyahu says there’s no deal to be made with Iran’s leaders. “What agreement can you reach with these neo-Nazis?” He pointed to World War 2, when Roosevelt and Churchill destroyed Hitler’s regime instead of reaching an agreement with it. Doesn’t sound like peace talks with Iran are on his list. Writer: Daniyal t.co/NWhliREcUw

🇷🇸 Serbia’s students toppled their longtime leader, and now they have to govern. It all began in 2024, when a train station roof collapsed and killed 16 people, sparking student protests that eventually led to Vučić conceding defeat in Sunday's election. Along the way, the students picked 250 doctors, professors, lawyers, actors and farmers to represent them. But with no single leader, it's still unclear who'll become prime minister. And they'll have plenty to deal with. Once parliament meets, they'll have 90 days to form a government, with a national budget to pass before the year ends. They've already beaten the odds once. Now comes a very different kind of challenge. Source: Reuters / Writer: Daniyal
