BREAKING: The Israeli Defense Forces and the United States military have drawn up plans for a renewal of strikes against Iran in the coming weeks, with the strikes almost certainly taking place after the midterm elections, according to two Israeli sources that spoke with ABC.
This follows an increase of Iranian attacks against commercial shipping throughout October, as well as recent reports of a U.S. withdrawal of troops and diplomats from multiple bases in the Middle East in the last few days.

UPDATE: 🇵🇱 The emergency meeting at Poland’s Internal Security Agency (ABW) Counterterrorism Centre in Warsaw has now ended.
Polish authorities say information about a potential assassination attempt targeting Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz is considered highly credible, following an assessment by the country’s security services.
Officials confirmed that the report was received by email and forwarded to police through the State Protection Service (SOP). The meeting brought together ABW, police and SOP representatives to coordinate further action.
Polish security officials stressed that they are treating the threat with the utmost seriousness, citing a high likelihood that the reported threats could be carried out. However, authorities have not disclosed the alleged attack plan or confirmed the identity of the person who submitted the report.
Officials also refused to say whether the sender is an adult or a minor, explaining that police are actively investigating and that further details could compromise the investigation.
The government says the information was made public to prevent speculation and ensure that citizens receive verified information from official sources.
Authorities have not announced any arrests. The State Protection Service continues to ensure the Prime Minister’s security as the investigation proceeds.

BREAKING - Trump:
"The U.S.A. is locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II. Despite this, we have just been asked by Iran, and other Middle Eastern Countries, to hold off any attack in that the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to. This would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran’s nuclear threat. Based on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL. The Country of Israel joins me in this commitment. Get to work, everybody, and get it DONE."

Fox News can confirm that the 2nd crew member of the downed F15E fighter jet has been rescued and he and the members of the rescue team that extracted him from behind enemy lines in Iran are all safely out of Iran. That according to two senior US officials and multiple well placed sources in the region. The Weapons Systems Officer ejected along with the pilot when their F15E Strike Eagle they were flying was struck Thursday night (early Friday local time) in southwest Iran.
The WSO used the SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape) training to evade capture, hiding on an elevated ridge after hiking away from the wreckage and putting out an emergency beacon.) US Special Operations rescue forces to include PJs (United States Air Force Pararescuemen (PJs) and many layers of elite rescue forces took part in the complex, layered mission to both find the crew member and also keep the Iranian forces who were hunting the American weapons system operator at bay. There are videos that have appeared from local eyewitnesses that show what appear to have been injured and dead Iranian members of the IRGC and Basij who were looking for the downed American crew member. Fox has learned there was fighting on the ground but no Americans killed during the operation. “It was a very complex operation to retrieve the downed service member,” a well placed source briefed on the operation told me. Many different branches of the US military were involved in the rescue.
Fox News can confirm the A10 Warthog that crashed Friday was involved in providing cover for the rescue teams searching for the pilot. That A10 crashed in Kuwait (first reported by ABC Friday) but the A10 pilot managed to eject safely and was rescued. There was destruction of aircraft which have sensitive equipment on board, I am told, all part of this complex CSAR (Combat Search and Rescue) mission.
The F15E was pretty much destroyed on impact. Two rescue helicopters were hit by enemy fire on Friday and crew members onboard were injured by enemy fire but managed to make it out of Iran.
There were a lot of elements to this rescue, I am told.
