BREAKING: Trump administration considers large-scale strikes on Iran's Kharg Island, which handles around 90% of Iran's oil exports, to force concessions on the nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz before the November 3 midterms, per senior US sources cited by Israel Hayom. The options include massive precision strikes on oil storage tanks, oil pipelines and loading facilities on the island, as well as military installations there and elsewhere. Trump discussed them with advisers at the Defense Department and the CIA. The sources say fears of electoral losses are pushing Trump to "seek a foreign policy achievement before the midterms." Strikes on Pickaxe Mountain remain on the table in parallel, with Kharg not cancelling the other out. Iran has already warned that "All oil, economic and energy infrastructure throughout the region that own US stocks or cooperate with the US will be immediately destroyed and turned into a pile of ashes," in return.

The MK Party has once again fired its party whips in Parliament and brought in new people (I think this might be the third or fourth since the 2024 elections). Notably, Mr Ngubane was once a chief whip, fired, and is now back again as a whip.
