“We have no target banks in Iran. Help us pls. You’ll never get the $20 mill tho as we have blocked all payment platforms to Iran.”

Mmm, I thought Iran’s nuclear program was ‘obliterated’.

US puts $20 million bounty on Iran nuclear program

The offer comes through the State Department’s Rewards for Justice program, which is also dangling possible relocation as an incentive for those willing to share information.

The State Department is particularly interested in details about Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and the people involved in its development. US officials cite a 2025 IAEA report stating that Iran had enriched uranium to 60% purity — close to weapons-grade levels.

The White House also claims that Iran’s failure to meet IAEA safeguards obligations has left the agency unable to fully track key nuclear components, including centrifuges.

Despite US allegations about Iran’s attempts to create a nuclear weapon, the Islamic Republic has repeatedly stressed that its nuclear program is purely peaceful.

There are many reports on the two strikes on Qeshm Island today after Iran shot at a US fighter jet.   CNN reports that a U.S. fighter jet was targeted by an Iranian surface-to-air missile, after which the jet targeted the launch platform on Qeshm

U.S. officials say the strikes were ‘limited and defensive’ in nature.  (This jet was in Iranian airspace).  Iran did take down another USAF MQ-9 drone in the vicinity of Qeshm Island, southern Iran, tonight.   Where are we now? up in the 50’s of these very expensive drones downed.

Trump was exceedingly orange today.  He says America is not at a war.  Iran is not a war. It’s a minor military operation.  There are very specific allowances for ‘occupiers’ in terms of international law.

What we are is maybe an occupier. Could be an occupier, because, you know, we control the Strait of Hormuz.

Gadi Eisenkot, a former Israeli occupation army chief of staff and the leader of the opposition bloc against war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, is proposing a “national emergency government” open to any party or Knesset member who accepts four principles.

⭕️Recognition of Israel as a “Jewish and democratic state.”
⭕️Acceptance of the values of Israel’s Declaration of Independence.
⭕️A duty of service for all, military, national or civil.
⭕️Recognition of Hamas as a “terrorist organization.”

Eisenkot said he will approach all Knesset factions and invite their members to become partners. He cannot form a majority without the Arab-led parties, and these conditions are, in effect, a message to them.

All he is doing is opening a door for Bloody Bibi to walk through back into government.

A few China snippets:

🔹US Targets Chinese Suppliers to the Cuban Military

The US State Department has imposed sanctions on two Chinese companies — China National Electronic Import and Export Company (CEIEC) and Beijing H&C Technologies. Washington accuses them of supplying weapons to the Cuban military in 2026.

According to the US side, both companies operated through the Cuban firm Sociedad Mercantil Duna, which was already under sanctions. Military-related goods were supplied to the Cuban armed forces through this company.

This is part of broader pressure on foreign suppliers to Havana. At the same time, the US has expanded its authority to impose sanctions on any foreign companies operating in Cuba’s electronics, manufacturing, maritime transport, and technology sectors.

We know that China refuses for their industry to obey sanctions and the blockade on Cuba.   We will see.

Update: China’s response was immediate – China’s cooperation with Cuba is open and aboveboard. China firmly opposes illegal unilateral sanctions and so-called “long-arm jurisdiction” that have no basis in international law and are not authorized by the UN Security Council, Guo Jiakun, spokesperson for China’s Foreign Ministry, told a press conference on Friday.

Guo made the remarks as media outlets including the Associated Press reported that the US imposed a new round of sanctions on Cuba and added eight entities and two individuals to its sanctions list, including two Chinese companies.

“China firmly opposes US interference in and disruption of China-Cuba cooperation, firmly supports Cuba in safeguarding its national sovereignty and opposing external interference, and will take all necessary measures to resolutely protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises,” Guo noted.

Dmitry Medvedev on Musk and Starlink

Yes, Musk has finally seen the light, even if too late, and admitted that it was a mistake to give the Banderite scum access to Starlink’s military capabilities. His much-vaunted satellite network has been used to strike civilian targets since the very beginning. Playing the “Starshield is not the same as Starlink” card won’t get him off the hook, either. The blood spilled on account of either is the same deep red. Elon knew exactly what he was doing. Of course, even the world’s first trillionaire must kowtow to the White House and the Deep State. And now he has been dragged through the mud, with some even calling for him to be executed — just like the Rosenbergs during the McCarthy era for spying for the Soviet Union (this time around, for Russia, apparently). Then again, Biden was one thing, and Trump is another.

Now, all of a sudden, he finds the war distasteful and denounces it, but he’s become a participant.

Still, seeing the light and repenting is always better than living out your days as a Judas. As the saying goes: mendaci homini ne vera quidem dicenti credimus.

(Ouch!  Mendaci homini, ne verum quidem dicenti, credere solemus–A liar isn’t believed even when telling the truth.)

Post election bloodbath via excuses and scapegoating in the US.  The winner is social media content.  Some faces may change, but the pursuit of global primacy through coercion, interference, and political capture – using military, financial, economic, and political means, show no sign of changing. It will change, but not by choice. The multipolar world will by definition enforce change.

I enjoyed Scott Ritter’s Rant (not because I take it seriously, just because it is a good rant and calm Garland Nixon was not slow in the ranting department either.  There are interesting snippets as well – Melania Trump is a cover, a beard).

Iran’s top security deputy chief, Ali Bagheri, Iran will no longer accept written promises from the US and demands concrete US actions before entering a new phase of diplomacy.

Think about that for a moment.  The US is unreliable to the extent that one cannot accept their signature on a contract.  Bagheri says the US has broken its commitments and derailed all 4 rounds of negotiations over the past 18 months.

The wars in Ukraine and West Asia are designed to be perpetual wars and the US wants them to continue.  Any negotiation is a scam.

Israeli Election – Eisenkot Secures 67 of 120 Endorsements After His Yashar Party Backs Him for PM. With a majority of elected Knesset members recommending Gadi Eisenkot, President Isaac Herzog is expected to task him with forming the next government.

Nothing will change and the brutality will continue until these people are physically stopped or internally toppled. Bear in mind that the threat on further war on Iran continues, and this may be a quick move to get ready for that with a government in place.

MOSCOW, November 5. /TASS/. Despite the Republican Party’s defeat in the recent midterm elections to Congress and the Kiev regime’s rudeness, US President Donald Trump is unlikely to cut off aid to Ukraine, for example, the provision of intelligence data, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said on Thursday.

Commenting on the results of the US Congress midterm elections and the Republican Party’s defeat, Medvedev said on his Max channel: “Quite useful consultations are taking place with the current [US] Administration regarding Ukraine, but nothing more.”

“Kiev never really paid much heed to the head of the White House,” he noted, adding that the Kiev regime “was unabashedly rude to Trump.”

According to Medvedev, from now on the Kiev regime “will distance itself entirely and simply ignore the weakened US president.”

“Trump can undoubtedly shut down Starshield and stop sharing intelligence data,” Medvedev pointed out. “But something tells me he won’t do that.”

“He’s an unpredictable guy, but now is not the time for exotic moves. Moreover, the impeachment pendulum will keep swinging no matter what the climate is,” the deputy head of Russia’s Security Council added.

Houthis hold all the cards as Saudis seek exit ramp from Yemen–Geopolitics Prime 

Saudi Arabia approached Yemen’s Houthis pursuing a negotiated end to hostilities, with the movement proposing $51 billion in compensation and official recognition of Houthi rule as conditions for a settlement, The Wall Street Journal reports, citing people familiar with the discussions.

The Houthis argue that the money would compensate for years of Saudi airstrikes and blockade measures. More than a decade after Riyadh intervened in Yemen, the movement is now negotiating from a position of greater military strength. Not only have Houthi forces reportedly advanced to within 80 kilometers of Aden and consolidated their position near the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, but missile and drone strikes also continue to target Saudi oil facilities and airports.

Riyadh’s options are narrowing as airstrikes fail to stop the Houthis and a ground offensive risks heavy losses. The UAE has withdrawn, Pakistan refuses to join any strikes, and Egypt offers only defensive support.

From War-a-Lago:  “We have to do something large … the only thing I can tell you with certainty, they will never have a nuclear weapon.”

Speaking during a interview on Fox News hours after Democrats captured majorities in both houses of Congress, Trump signaled a potential escalation in US military operations across the region.   US President Donald Trump suggested earlier today that Washington may execute a massive military assault against Iran, asserting that the US has not completed its military objectives despite suffering historic losses in the midterm elections.

“If we have to do something large… a lot of people would like to do the heavy hit,” Trump stated, confirming that military planners are preparing options for a high-intensity strike campaign. Emphasizing that he has not ruled out further direct aggression against Tehran, Trump added, “We have not yet finished the mission in Iran.”

The belligerent rhetoric comes despite public acknowledgement from Trump that widespread domestic dissatisfaction with rising fuel costs and the expanding regional war played a decisive role in punishing Republican candidates at the polls.

Israeli President Herzog receives official Israeli election results as Eisenkot leads recommendations to form next government

Israeli President Isaac Herzog received the official results of the 26th Knesset elections on Wednesday, 4 November, paving the way for consultations to determine who will be tasked with forming the next government. According to Ynet and The Jerusalem Post, the Central Elections Committee approved the results after finding no evidence of irregularities or compromised election integrity, despite claims by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party that the election had been stolen.

The results leave Israel facing a political deadlock, with Netanyahu’s bloc securing 53 seats, the opposition bloc winning 48, and Palestinian parties Ra’am and the Joint List securing a combined 19 seats, according to The Jerusalem Post. Yashar! leader Gadi Eisenkot is currently expected to receive 48 recommendations from Yashar!, Naftali Bennett’s Yachad, the Democrats, and Yisrael Beytenu, compared with 46 for Netanyahu from Likud, Otzma Yehudit, Shas, and Religious Zionism, according to Ynet. The Arab parties and United Torah Judaism have yet to announce their recommendations, leaving the outcome uncertain.

The approval process unfolded amid controversy over allegations of foreign interference. Israel’s Shin Bet intelligence agency presented claims of extensive foreign financing and influence operations involving large sums of money, but provided no supporting evidence, according to Ynet.

The allegations followed Shin Bet chief David Zini’s request to investigate Palestinian lawmakers Mansour Abbas and Ahmad Tibi without presenting evidence, prompting Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara to warn that elected officials cannot be investigated without sufficient justification.

Herzog is scheduled to consult parliamentary factions on Wednesday and Thursday before deciding which candidate has the strongest prospects of forming a government. While Eisenkot could potentially secure broader backing if Palestinian parties recommend him, Netanyahu retains the larger parliamentary bloc.

Possible outcomes include a coalition agreement, a unity government, a minority government, or another election if negotiations fail.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei dismisses US midterm shifts, warns US hostility remains unchanged

Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei stated that the outcome of the US midterm elections will not fundamentally alter Washington’s hostile policy posture toward Tehran, dismissing expectations of a major diplomatic pivot following the Democratic victory in Congress.

In remarks carried by IRNA, Khamenei warned against misjudging political changes in Washington, stressing that basic imperial policy goals remain consistent across partisan lines.

Khamenei declared that the US has “suffered an irreversible decline” as a direct result of its regional military entanglements, adding that “the process of its collapse has accelerated” despite ongoing attempts by both political parties to project imperial strength across the region.

China says preventing renewed West Asia war is ‘top priority’

China said on Wednesday that preventing a renewed outbreak of hostilities in West Asia was a “top priority” of its diplomatic engagement with countries across the region.

“The top priority is to avoid the resumption of hostilities in the Middle East that would bring disaster to the region’s people,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told a news conference on Wednesday.

Beijing would “support Iran and the US in resolving disputes through negotiations, promote finding a political settlement to the Yemen issue, to help reach a proper and comprehensive solution for the opening of the Strait of Hormuz,” she added.

Russian vision for the broader world is seriously crumbling.  They will deal with those friendly to them and will not pay attention to those that declare Russia the enemy.

Western efforts to contain Russia through NATO expansion and the conflict in Ukraine have destroyed prospects for a common Euro-Atlantic security framework – FM Lavrov

I remember so clearly when this concept hit the headlines – Anthony Blinken went to visit Russia – just before the SMO.  And he was deaf and dumb.  One of the journos, obviously a serious question, asked Lavrov if Blinken actually understands the Russian position and concept, and Lavrov said with his usual almost casual élan:  ‘He understands.  He just shrugs his shoulders and walks away’.   It would be a good thing to listen to the video lecture by Jeffrey Sachs.  This lecture draws together, toward a future vision, much of the conceptual and structural work that we’ve been discussing here.

Some more Lavrov:

‘The situation in the Middle East showed that the extra-regional countries & their MILITARY BASES in the region, not only don’t serve as a guarantee against military action, they PROVOKE IT’ — Lavrov

On this topic, Xi Jinping: 

Talking to Omani Sultan Haitham bin Tariq:   “The Middle East Gulf region should not become an arena for ​great-power rivalry and geopolitical conflict. Peace and stability in the region require joint nurturing and protection by all ⁠parties,” Xi said, according to China’s Foreign Ministry.

Beijing remains committed to ending the war and hopes to contribute “wisdom and solutions to ​resolving the region’s security dilemmas,” Xi added, expressing readiness to strengthen coordination with regional countries, including members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), to restore peace and ensure long-term regional stability and security.

A 20-point joint statement issued by both sides called for the restoration of normal and safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. It also urged Washington and Tehran to pursue a peaceful resolution, return to the agreement reached in June to end the war, and resume dialogue.

Later on Monday, China’s Foreign Ministry announced that its West Asia special envoy, Zhai Jun, would travel to Iran, Oman, and Saudi Arabia this month.

Back to Lavrov:  

The creation of a military-political bloc in Asia modeled on NATO is being seriously discussed.

They have already come up with a name, and this work began several years ago.

The name is the Indo-Pacific Treaty Organization.

Fotros Resistance:  (If I should consult a war expert, that expert would most probably say that Iran’s defenses are being tested).

The US military confirms they struck Qeshm Island and claim Iran first targeted a US fighter jet, which prompted the attack.

Additionally, the Iranian Army spokesman has just issued a statement warning the US.

Brig. General Akraminia says any renewed US aggression will be met with an immediate, devastating, and more extensive response than before. Should a new war break out, the geographical scope of the conflict will not remain confined to West Asia.

Says the Iranian Army has received orders to update their target database, with a focus on various tangible and intangible assets of the US-Zionist enemy.

In the event of renewed military adventurism, US facilities, equipment, personnel, and interests wherever they are within reach could become targets of retaliation.

The spox says the US sought to establish a ground front along Iran’s western borders by arming separatist groups based in Iraq’s Kurdistan Region, but the deployment of Iranian Armed Forces units and preemptive operations against these groups’ positions prevented the enemy from achieving its objectives.

In the meantime the IRGC shot down 2 American “Lucas” OWA drones in the sky over Bandar Khamir, southern Iran.   Also, a MQ-9 drone which was armed & had an external fuel tank. The Reaper was on the hunt, says Fotros Resistance.

One can set your atomic clock to the Russian MoD’s report on the previous 12 hours. These used to be every 24 hours.

Lately Ukraine would not give up on hitting power generation plants deep in Russia, with drones. So, the MoD took that in hand last evening and smacked six Ukrainian electrical plants.

Last night, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation delivered a massive strike by high-precision ground- and air-based weapons and strike unmanned aerial vehicles against power generation facilities of Ukraine in Vinnitsy, Dnepropetrovsk and Kharkov regions that supply electricity to defence industry enterprises and AFU facilities, as well as port infrastructure facilities in Odessa region used for military purposes:

In Vinnitsy region, the following target was hit:  ▫️Ladyzhinskaya thermal power plant, with a capacity of 1,800 MW.

In Dnepropetrovsk region, the following targets were hit:  ▫️Krivorozhskaya thermal power plant, with a capacity of 2,800 MW;  ▫️Pridneprovskaya thermal power plant, with a capacity of 1,765 MW:

In Kharkov region, the following targets were hit: ▫️ Kharkovskaya thermal power plant, with a capacity of 86 MW;  ▫️ Zmievskaya electrical substation, with a capacity of 330 kV; ▫️ Losevo electrical substation, with a capacity of 330 kV.

In Odessa region, the following targets were hit:

▫️ at the port of Kiliya – port infrastructure facilities used in the interests of the AFU;  ▫️ at the port of Yuzhny and in the Black Sea waters – two dry cargo ships delivering military equipment and dual-use cargo for the AFU.

And they are off for the day to do it again.  How many armies must Russia still defeat?    Bear in mind, this report is not fighting on the front line that is inexorably creeping forward – it is only the additional huge strikes in the rear or with very specific objectives.

Something that people generally do not know.  You can take it to the bank – Dugin is a Trumper, a Westerner, a MAGA and in his spare time, he is a cultist Tsarist.  There are so many 5th, 6th or 10th columns I cannot count them.  Many people do not know that.   In addition he is part of the loose grouping that want to own BRICS and stretches through Russian organizations to European organizations and into Brazil.

Dugin: If Republicans lose Congress in the midterms, expect a genuine liberal dictatorship.

Trump was the hope of conservatives in America, Europe, and beyond — and he remains the one currently holding the world back from collapse.

Should that loss happen, the Democrats’ revenge will be unlike anything we’ve seen. They still haven’t forgiven DOGE and the dismantling of USAID — the moment they realized Trump might actually go after the Deep State.

Russia calls signs of imminent attacks on Iran ‘extremely alarming,’ says military force cannot break Iranians’ determination to defend sovereignty

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned on Monday that signs of preparations for renewed military action against Iran are “extremely alarming,” urging those threatening further attacks to reconsider.

She emphasized that recent months have demonstrated that military attacks bringing death and destruction to Iran cannot break the Iranian people’s determination to defend their sovereignty and independence, calling instead for intensified diplomatic efforts to reach a peaceful resolution.

China has system similar to Russia’s Starlink jammer

China possesses a system designed to interfere with Starlink satellites, operating on the same principle as Russia’s Volna-Kupol-Garant electronic warfare complex, Russian defense engineer Dmitry Kuzyakin tells Sputnik. “Starlink is an instrument of external influence that must be controlled,” Kuzyakin warned, adding that countries should be able to restrict satellite communications over their territory. The Russian system uses directed radio interference against Starlink satellites passing overhead, disrupting their connections with ground terminals within a designated area. Kuzyakin says China possesses a comparable capability, although its technical specifications remain undisclosed.
