BREAKING: Iran has reportedly activated its "dead hand" doctrine as Iranian officials now believe a joint U.S.-Israeli attack is imminent and have instructed the country’s armed forces to directly activate the decentralized “Mosaic Defense” doctrine, with commanders reportedly receiving extensive lists of U.S. economic and political targets to strike if war erupts, per Fars News. The activation shifts Iran's military to 31 autonomous provincial commands, designed to ensure devastating retaliatory strikes can be launched even if central leadership is decapitated in a first wave of attacks. Tehran is pre-authorizing field commanders to fire without waiting for orders from the top. It comes as Trump says the U.S. is "not negotiating" and "something will happen soon," Washington orders the complete evacuation of its embassy staff from the Gulf, and the IRGC claims to have struck seven vessels in a single night. The region is now on a hair trigger for total war.

BREAKING: Trump has now shifted toward favoring a preemptive military strike on Iran in recent hours following Netanyahu "pushing him," per Haaretz citing sources in the administration. The shift came after Trump's review of intelligence assessments presented by Hegseth after his meeting with Netanyahu this week. Israeli Air Force jets took off from multiple airbases in the past hour and all US embassy staff have been ordered to leave Saudi Arabia.

BREAKING: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the IDF, Mossad, and military intelligence to OVERTHROW Iran’s government, accusing Tehran of renewed nuclear weapons development as reports emerge that Trump blocked a planned Israeli strike ahead of Israel’s October 27 election.

BREAKING: Massive explosions and fire at the Iranian Aluminium Company, IRALCO, facility in Arak, west-central Iran. It is the largest aluminium producer in Iran. The governor claims "There was no explosion. Just smoke and steam, after a technical incident."

BREAKING: Iran now announces that any attack, joint or separate, by the U.S. or Israel will be treated as an all-out war, with a senior security official saying that Tehran has made a “definitive decision” to respond “without any limits or restraint” and has placed its military on the highest alert, per Press TV. The warning comes as Netanyahu reportedly continues pushing for a strike on Iran’s military and nuclear infrastructure before Israel’s October 27 election, despite Trump halting a planned multi-day bombing campaign at the last minute to avoid a wider war ahead of the U.S. midterms. Israeli media reports that Netanyahu is now weighing an attack without Washington’s backing. Tehran is making its position clear: if Netanyahu launches a unilateral attack, Iran says it will treat it as a joint U.S.-Israeli operation and retaliate without limits or restraint.

Israel and the United States will almost certainly attack Iran once again. This will mark the final chapter of this war. Through this attack, Trump and Netanyahu will fully carry out the threats they have made over the past few months—specifically, they will destroy Iran’s energy and oil infrastructure. This is intended to inflict massive economic and social damage on the country, leaving millions of Iranians without electricity and rendering Iran unable to export oil. Following this, Trump will declare victory and withdraw from the Strait of Hormuz—a presence that is currently causing him enormous financial losses. Russia and China will, of course, reconstruct the Iranian infrastructure in record time, despite Trump’s claims that it would take ten years. It took China 20 years to build up the entire nation, lift 800 million people out of extreme poverty, and increase its GDP from $1 trillion to $16 trillion; Iran’s energy infrastructure will be sorted out in a maximum of 2 years. In the meantime, Iran will stockpile vast quantities of weapons and ammunition, while making significant advancements in military equipment, communications, and logistics. Within a maximum of five years, the country will have become such a formidable military power that the Gulf states and other Israel-aligned states will have no choice but to cooperate. The noose around Israel will tighten significantly.

BREAKING: Netanyahu says Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has now decided to lift the restriction on nuclear weapons and is trying to develop them again. He says based on this, he has now instructed the IDF, Mossad and security agencies to topple the Iranian regime. "Mojtaba Khamenei decided to follow in his father's footsteps. He has taken the safety off, and Iran is once again trying to develop its weapons of death," Netanyahu said minutes ago. "There is only one way to remove this threat once and for all, to topple the regime in Iran," he adds. "We are ready to strike you with full force," Defence Minister Katz says. Iranian lawmakers said on Sunday that Mojtaba Khamenei's position on nuclear weapons will differ from his late father's and that Iran must now acquire nuclear weapons.
