Israeli PM Netanyahu announces that the Iranian regime is once again fully engaged in its nuclear weapons program under Mojtaba Khamenei, and that regime change is the only option to end the threat.
Radical progressive anti-colonialist urbanites parroting the speech of a white supremacist neo-Nazi KKK good ol' boy from the South, and they don't even know it.
The Red-Green-Brown Alliance is a real thing.
The nexus between the Russia-Ukraine and US-Israel-Iran conflict continues to weave together, as Ukrainian drone units are now reportedly deployed in Iraqi Kurdistan, on the other side of the border from Iran.
Iraq is also beginning to close its Iranian borders.

FT Exclusive: Insiders expect Emirati minister of state Lana Nusseibeh to enter the race to succeed António Guterres as UN secretary-general as early as this week. Who are the leading contenders for the top job? ft.trib.al/8CQAQAk
Israeli parliamentary elections are scheduled for next Tuesday, and once again we see that Israeli polls are fairly partisan, with the conservative Channel 14 (Israel's Fox News) showing a slight lead for Bibi's coalition and Channel 12 (legacy media) showing the current gov't trailing by 10 seats. We will just have to wait and see who has the correct pulse on the electorate.
*The inmates broke out of the concentration camp" after murdering their PA rivals 2005-07, then initiating 4 wars after the Israelis unilaterally withdrew and left them alone, then violently oppressing their own fed-up people several times during street demonstrations (while their billionaire leaders live in luxury in Turkey and Qatar), then finding every creative which-way possible to kill Israelis across the border fence, then taking advantage of the Israelis who actually cared about them in the Gaza Envelope by letting them work in their homes and businesses for above average wages, then broke out and went on a demonically inspired r*pe and murder spree, cutting women's breasts off as they r*ped them, torturing and burning families alive, shooting women in the genitals, etc, etc.
Hamas and their supporters (which are most but not all Gazans) had a chance to build their own society in 2005 after the Israeli evacuation. With all of the Int'l aid they receive (FAR more than other Muslim people groups in combat zones), they could have built a beautiful, prosperous, and autonomous territory by now. Who knows, maybe even had a soft border and good relations with Israel as an independent state? Instead, they built a massive terrorist base with the aid they were given, and they now live in rubble and poverty because their virulently Antisemitic jihadist leaders (duly elected) refuse to accept the right of Jewish self-determination in the Jewish ancestral homeland. If Gaza is a concentration camp, it was designed and built by Hamas/PIJ, and Oct 7th proved why Hamas/PIJ should be kept there, why Gazans who don't want their leadership should be liberated from it, and ultimately, why each and every one of them should be hunted down for the sake of humanity.

A major flex for the Ships of Kittim.
Persian Gulf oil exports have surpassed prewar levels, as an improvised shipping system under U.S. protection is helping tankers move oil through one of Iran’s fiercest waves of attacks in the Strait of Hormuz. on.wsj.com/4dKoAkk
Yep, non-starter:

Says the representative of Iran's office of the Supreme Leader.
Seems like a non-starter to us...

In one Middle Eastern nation, only around 100 known believers remain.
Their churches are gone, and they are being hunted.
But the Gospel keeps moving forward, because no prison can stop a Jesus movement.
End...of...November...
Per @Liz_Friden The U.S. is sending the USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier strike group and the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit to the Middle East, two U.S. officials confirm to Fox News. The ships will arrive in the Middle East by the end of November, the officials said. These new deployments will add about 10,000 Sailors and Marines to the Middle East.
The USS Roosevelt will be the third aircraft carrier in the Middle East, joining the USS George H.W. Bush which arrived to the region in April, and the USS George Washington which arrived in mid-August to replace the USS Abraham Lincoln. This will provide more options for the U.S. as President Trump is reportedly considering ramping up strikes on Iran after the Midterms.
The USS Roosevelt departed its home port of San Diego on Sunday and the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit deployed from San Diego on Monday along with the Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group. The Marine Expeditionary Unit and Amphibious Ready Group typically include about 4,200 Marines and Sailors. The USS Roosevelt carrier strike group includes about 6,000 Sailors.
Very little Antisemitism in the region before 1948?
Apparently @USAMBTurkiye hasn't read our "Center of Nations" series, or else he would know about the MANY persecutions and pogroms against the Jewish people in MENA prior to 1948.
Don't be like Tom Barrack. Read (or listen to) Center of Nations!

The Turkish ambassador's comments reflect either a massively ignorant or intentionally disingenuous representation of the Iranian regime. Until the assassination of Ali Khamenei this year, the IRGC answered to the Supreme Leader alone. It was an extension of his will, and the will of the Guardian Council, the heart of Iran's regime. Only since Ali's death and the sham ascension of his severely injured (and morally compromised) son Mojtaba Khamenei has the IRGC managed to commandeer the levers of power in Iran by co-opting the Iranian Security Council and bullying the civil government into submission. The *Islamic* Republic of Iran has been the problem for Iran, for Israel, the Middle East, and the world since 1979. Anyone who says otherwise is completely unqualified to be an American ambassador in the region.
U.S. Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack says Iran is “not an evil regime,” describing the Twelver Shia theocracy established in 1979 as a religious system deserving respect.
“That’s a religious content and practice that we all respect.”
Barrack instead singled out the IRGC, saying it “has become an adversary” and that its confrontation with Israel “has been a problem.”
We're thankful for @RonSCantor 's thoughtful, level-headed, and gracious perspective on recent violence committed by Jewish settlers in Judea and Samaria.

For making disciples in Nigeria, you go to prison for 14 years, or worse.
Let's pray for Liatu.
Nigeria: A Christian mother, Liatu Samuel Dawa, has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for the “crime” of evangelism.
Liatu shared her faith with a woman in Borno State who later converted to Christianity.
For that, Liatu is now behind bars and her family in hiding after Muslims threatened their lives.
The judge, A.B. Kumdila, imposed the harsh sentence.
This ruling is a gross miscarriage of justice.
The disgraceful action must be overturned and Liatu immediately returned safely to her family.
Free Liatu Dawa.
