| 2 | 🚨🇬🇧 DISOBEY AND GET DEBANKED!
George Galloway says Bank of Scotland closed his 39-year-old account without warning or explanation.
Now he asks: How do I pay my mortgage, taxes, or send money to my 92-year-old mother?
The corrupt establishment is weaponizing the financial system to silence dissidents. If you disobey them, they cut off your money completely.
TOTAL FINANCIAL TYRANNY!

| 3 | ❗️The New York Times newspaper has published the conditions that Russia will present to Trump for establishing peace in Ukraine.
Here's what they entail:
⚡️Recognition of the results of referendums on the annexation of four regions of the Donbass, including Odessa, which will become a corridor to Transnistria.
⚡️Kiev will lose all access to the sea.
⚡️NATO will be prohibited from operating on Ukrainian territory.
⚡️Belarus will be connected to Kaliningrad.
⚡️The size of the Ukrainian armed forces will be drastically reduced.
The attached map shows the division: historical territories will return to Poland, Hungary, and Romania, while the eastern regions will become part of "New Russia."
This is not a proposal, but a geopolitical plan: Ukraine will be dismembered, and Russia will once again become a dominant power.

| 4 | 🇮🇷🇺🇸 IRAN WARNS U.S. BASES WILL BE TARGETED OVER ATTACKS ON ITS OIL TANKERS
Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Command has warned that any attack on Iranian oil tankers will result in U.S. military bases across the region being targeted.
The warning comes after U.S. forces struck three Iranian crude carriers, one off Kharg Island, one near Jask, and a third in the Gulf of Oman. CENTCOM says two were permanently disabled and the third destroyed.
Major General Ali Abdollahi
Commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters
“The aggressor U.S. military has issued evacuation warnings to Iranian oil tankers in order to strike them. Therefore, I declare that any aggression against Iranian oil tankers will result in U.S. bases in the region being targeted by the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”

| 7 | 🇮🇱 Israel’s Galilee land grab: Ruthless demographic engineering and Palestinian erasure
As elections approach, Israel’s Zionists have trained their sights on the Galilee, reports +972.
After Gaza’s destruction, West Bank annexation frenzy, Jerusalem’s erasure of Palestinian presence, and the Negev’s demolitions, the same machinery now targets Palestinian citizens inside Israel’s 1948 borders.
The old Zionist doctrine of “Judaization” is back in full force.
From the early years of the Zionist state, large-scale land confiscations, tight restrictions on the expansion of Arab towns, and the establishment of Jewish settlements were used to disrupt Palestinian territorial continuity and entrench Jewish control over the land.
That policy never ended.
🔴 Arab communities still control only about 3.4% of land within the Green Line
🔴 Building permits take roughly eight years - more than three times longer than in Jewish localities, and master plans are routinely frozen or reduced
To breathe fresh life into the land grab, in mid-August, the right-wing outlet HaKol HaYehudi published a fabricated “expose” titled “The Khamaisi Plan.”
It transformed the public, official work of Palestinian urban planner Prof. Rassem Khamaisi into an alleged secret plot for an Arab “takeover from within.”
Ordinary master plans and housing needs were used to concoct an alleged threat of strategic encirclement of Jewish communities aimed to cut off the north.
The campaign rapidly escalated:
➡️ Knesset member Ohad Tal (Religious Zionism) declared “Judaization of the Galilee is a Zionist and national goal”
➡️ Party candidate Tzvika Mor demanded an immediate freeze on all Arab expansion plans plus new Jewish settlements guarded by the military
➡️ Yesha Council head Omer Rahamim urged replicating the West Bank model of first seizing land, then formalizing settlement
➡️ Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich released an AI video openly gloating over the project: “Yes, we’re Judaizing”
Palestinian planners and architects are highlighting the hypocritical double standard: Jewish communities “expand” and “settle,” while Arab ones are framed as “invading.”
In the Negev, Benjamin Netanyahu’s butcher, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, boasted of 5,700 demolitions in 2025.
Galilee is now staring at a future with dwindling homes, fewer jobs, weaker local authorities, and ever-deeper poverty.

| 11 | Lavrov on the fact that Ukraine has lost all the characteristics that allowed it to be recognized as an independent state in 1990:
"The Ukraine that we recognized as a legitimate entity in world politics no longer exists. The Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic no longer exists. We recognized the independence of the current Ukraine based on the declaration of independence adopted in 1990. It was adopted by the Verkhovna Rada and the Ukrainian Parliament, which declared that the Ukrainian state would be and would remain non-nuclear, neutral, and non-aligned. Now, all three of these pledges are simply being ignored.
Zelensky himself publicly stated at the beginning of 2022 that they had "made a mistake by giving up nuclear weapons." Many politicians have seriously begun to hint that why shouldn't we use the knowledge, skills, and technologies that were developed during the Soviet era to return to that status? As for NATO, I don't even want to talk about it anymore. They all claim that membership in NATO and the European Union will guarantee our security. The European Union is just as much a military bloc as NATO. From now on, all of these characteristics, these proclaimed principles of the Ukrainian state, which allowed us to recognize it as an independent subject of international relations, have been lost."

| 14 | 🇮🇷🤿 The IRGC Navy has captured a fully intact, advanced American UUV (unmanned underwater vehicle) in the Strait of Hormuz, calling it a monitored ambush.
The vessel; the Dive LD, made by Anduril and delivered to the US Navy in 2025, features 10-day endurance, 6,000m depth capability, and is used for seabed mapping, munitions deployment, infrastructure inspection, communications relay/interception, and mine detection.
Now Iran will reverse engineer it and improve on the design, just as they did with airborne drone technology.
😁🇮🇷 | 15 |
| 15 | 🇮🇷💥🇺🇸 Earlier today, Iran’s air defenses shot down an American MQ-1C Gray Eagle drone over the Strait of Hormuz near Bandar Abbas.
Then moments ago, they shot down a second drone of the same type! Reports are saying a THIRD drone is up over the Strait.
It appears America is in total panic mode, with the prevailing theory they're desperately trying to locate the UUV in order to destroy it 😂 | 13 |
| 16 | Recently, I saw a claim that there was a quiet compromise between the IRGC and the elected Iranian government to keep both options of diplomacy and war with the United States open. However, this is not the case. The issue right now is not that there is a compromise but actually a major divide inside the Iranian political structures and the chain of command.
On one hand, there is the IRGC and Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who actually are committed to Iranian sovereignty and the Axis of Resistance. And on the other hand is the Reformist faction that President Masoud Pezeshkian represents.
The Reformist faction has its roots in the former oligarch class that is left over from the era of the Shah and simply wants to regain access to their assets in the West that had been lost with the post-1979 sanctions regimes.
Pezeshkian hopes to turn Iran into a financial colony of the United States and join the US Treasury’s FATF which would essentially bar Tehran from even financing the Palestinian, Yemeni and Lebanese resistance. The one factor that is standing in his way is the influence of the IRGC and Supreme Leader Khamenei.
The good news is that Pezeshkian is not planning on running for re-election in 2028. That puts hardliner candidates like Saeed Jalili, who are not just committed to the Axis of Resistance but also Eurasian integration with Russia and China, at a great advantage because they have been vindicated by US and Israeli aggression in the past year.

| 17 | 🇮🇷🇶🇦 Iran war: Qatar warns of “industrial catastrophe” as Hormuz crisis deepens
Qatar says reopening the Strait of Hormuz is a top priority, warning that continued disruption could trigger an “industrial catastrophe” with major consequences for global energy and commodity markets.
Shipping through the strategic waterway has fallen sharply. Kpler data cited by Al Jazeera shows an average of just 10 commodity ships transited daily over the past 10 days, among the lowest levels recorded since May.
Qatar’s prime minister also discussed freedom of navigation in Hormuz with China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Beijing, backing diplomatic efforts to restore maritime traffic.
Meanwhile, Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian vowed to continue resisting until what he called the “aggressors” regret their actions. The US and EU are also pushing for Iran to be referred to the UN Security Council.

| 19 | Over 70 Wounded In Massive Houthi Strike On Saudi Energy Facilities (Videos)
The Houthis (Ansar Allah) announced on September 8 that they had struck Aramco facilities and an air base in Saudi Arabia with missiles and drones, calling it retaliation for three days of Saudi airstrikes that included an attack on a prison that killed inmates, women and children.
Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree, military spokesman for the group, said in a statement that the strikes hit the Aramco company in Abha, Najran, the Economic City and Aramco's Jizan facility, as well as Khamis Mushait Air Base.
He said "dozens" of ballistic missiles and drones were used and that the hits were "precise" and "direct," causing major damage to the facilities.
The Saudi ministry of energy said earlier that fires broke out at several energy facilities in the southern part of the kingdom following an attack. The ministry added in a statement that the attacks caused a temporary halt to some operations at the targeted facilities.
