🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — Reporter: How do you think the Iran war has impacted the races? Trump: In one way, they love it, because I'm doing what should've been done by other presidents. In another way, maybe they don't. We’ve knocked the hell out of them, and we may do it a little bit further.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦 — Russian President Vladimir Putin:

From the very first days—we already talked about this in 2014—let's help you reach an agreement with the southeast, back then, the then-Ukraine. No, guns, planes against the peaceful population, they practically unleashed a war. ​ Then, the Minsk agreements. They just didn't care about reaching an agreement with that part of Ukraine that disagreed with the coup d'état. No, they refused this.

🇮🇷 Bigger warheads, AI targeting, no GPS needed: Iran shows off upgraded Arash drones For the first time, Iranian state broadcaster IRIB was allowed inside an Iranian Army plant producing the Arash kamikaze drone, the Army's main strike drone, which Iran used against US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan during the war. According to the report, the latest version carries a warhead upgraded from 50 to 100 kg, with incendiary and high-explosive fill delivering two to three times the destructive power. It now uses AI-assisted precision targeting and navigation that works without GPS, and a new jet-powered variant has entered production. Arash is now part of a larger family of drones with different capabilities, and a new model is set to be unveiled soon. The report also took cameras into an underground drone tunnel alongside Army Commander-in-Chief Major General Amir Hatami, who said production did not decrease during the war and that production centers have since been expanded. Officials say the Army's drone stocks are now far larger and more diverse than before the Ramadan War, with production spread across the country and running around the clock with the help of universities and tech firms. 🔴 @DDGeopolitics

🇨🇿 Czech President Petr Pavel admits Europe is irrelevant to Moscow and Washington In an interview with Bild's Paul Ronzheimer, Pavel, a former chairman of the NATO Military Committee, said Russia and the US don't take Europe seriously because it is divided and unable to make decisions quickly. "They see how divided we are, how weak we are. If we don't change that very quickly, we will stop mattering." Pavel called on European countries to agree on a common position on Ukraine and appoint negotiators to talk directly with Moscow. He said they don't necessarily have to come from the EU or NATO. He also floated restoring economic ties, trade and cooperation with Russia as an incentive to end the fighting. In the same interview, Pavel claimed Putin has an "obsessive fear of being killed" and is fed filtered information by his inner circle. He also said all NATO plans are "defensive." 🔴 @DDGeopolitics

🇺🇸🇸🇦⚡️- BREAKING: The United States has ordered all embassy staff to evacuate Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, and Bahrain with their families immediately, according to AFP.

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇱⚡️- "In the past few hours, there has apparently been a change in the American position in favor of a preemptive strike on Iran. White House sources explain the change mainly due to the great weight that President Trump gave to the assessments and intelligence that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth presented to him upon his return from the meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu." - Haaretz.

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷⚡️ — NEW: The U.S. and Israel have developed detailed plans for renewed strikes against Iran following the November 3 midterm elections, according to NYT. The proposed operation could involve an intensive three-day campaign targeting Iran's nuclear facilities, missile and drone arsenal, and potentially energy infrastructure. Potential targets include Iran's deeply buried Pickaxe Mountain nuclear facility. Some officials believe another offensive could cripple Iran's economy and force concessions on its nuclear program and control of the Strait of Hormuz, although negotiations have so far made little progress.

: Dozens of Israeli fighter jets flew toward Iran's border on Monday in what Israel described as a deterrence exercise. However, some U.S. officials suspected Israel was deliberately trying to provoke Iran into firing at its aircraft, potentially providing a justification for renewed strikes against Iran. The operation followed reports that Netanyahu had urged Trump to consider another attack on Iran. — Axios Excellent thing to do on the eve of an election...
