🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump's “4 to 5 weeks” war with Iran is heading into MONTH 9.

And his UN ambassador won't rule out ANOTHER YEAR of stalemate.

Mike Waltz says the U.S. Navy can keep blockading Iranian ports “for the foreseeable future,” while Washington piles on even more economic pressure.

Asked whether the U.S. could still be stuck in the same situation next year, with no nuclear deal and no normal traffic through Hormuz, Waltz dodged the hypothetical.

He hopes Iran will “come to the table,” but Washington wants its highly enriched uranium gone and a deal restricting domestic enrichment before calling it done.

Meanwhile, fuel prices are soaring, fertilizer supplies are strained, and Trump's approval is hovering around 31%, with the midterms less than 2 weeks away.

November 3 is on the calendar. An end date for the war? Still nowhere in sight.

🇺🇲🇮🇷 The U.S. war machine revs up as Iran talks teeter...

Diplomatic efforts to restart negotiations with Iran are ramping up as the U.S. deploys more military forces to the Middle East and Israel prepares for renewed strikes.

A third aircraft carrier is heading to the region, another ship carrying Marines is on the way, and some U.S. troops are being moved away from vulnerable bases.

Trump has said he won’t attack Iran before the midterms; he has also warned Tehran that the U.S. and Israel could soon resume their assault.

Meanwhile, Houthi attacks on Saudi have added another layer of risk, prompting Washington to order non-emergency personnel and families OUT of Riyadh.

My hopes for a peaceful resolution are fading fast...

🇩🇰🇷🇺 Denmark is buying LONG-RANGE MISSILES capable of striking BEHIND ENEMY LINES

RUSSIA is naturally FURIOUS.

Copenhagen is buying American-made Anthem missiles and Norwegian Joint Strike Missiles for its F-35s.

The Danish government says it needs the ability to hit back if Russia attacks.

Moscow is already warning of “inevitable disastrous consequences.”

What's interesting is the shift in European thinking. Denmark isn't just buying weapons to defend its territory anymore. It's preparing to strike targets far beyond its borders.

For a country that spent years cutting its military budget, that's a serious change.

And Russia's threats are probably doing more to accelerate it than stop it.

🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱 Iran’s FM says American taxpayers have spent around $11 BILLION shielding Israel from missiles in just 3 years.

Abbas Araghchi shared estimates showing the U.S. has fired more than 600 interceptors to defend Israeli territory since October 2023.

Most of that cost came in 2 bursts: about $4.8 billion during the 12-day war in June 2025, and $5.2 billion between February and May this year.

He also claimed the U.S. has fired more interceptors defending Israel than Israel itself, calling it “a parasitic” relationship rather than a symbiotic one.

Iran's new side gig: auditing the Pentagon 😆

🇮🇱🇱🇾🇹🇷 Israel, unsurprisingly, is CONDEMNING the Libya-Turkey maritime deal...

Israel accused Turkey of destabilizing the eastern Mediterranean after Libya’s eastern parliament approved a disputed maritime agreement with Ankara.

The deal concerns maritime jurisdiction and energy exploration rights, drawing strong opposition from Greece, Egypt, and Cyprus, which say it infringes on their maritime claims.

Turkey and Libya are carving up Mediterranean waters despite Crete sitting BETWEEN their coastlines.

And Israel, who just signed a $3.5 billion defense agreement with Greece, is NOT thrilled...

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱 The US and Israel have drawn up a post-midterm strike plan for Iran with Pickaxe Mountain at the top of the list... and Trump already canceled it once this month

Both militaries were on highest alert in early October when he postponed at the last minute, which one commander calls "day-to-day whiplash."

The plan is short and intensive, aimed at nuclear sites and missile stocks while steering clear of refineries so gas doesn't climb higher, with longer November nights as the window.

Tehran says 72 hours is a "fantasy" and its answer is Aramco's refineries and the internet cables.

The first phase of this war strained Patriot stocks to 2030 and put Brent at $110, and nobody can explain why round two ends differently.

Four ships involved in oil transfers caught fire in the Arabian Gulf after being tracked by Iranian forces.
Three additional vessels hit sea mines near the Strait of Hormuz.

🇮🇷 Iran's IRGC says it's getting ready to unveil a new weapon called the “father of all bombs.”

What does it do? How powerful is it? Well, nobody knows. They haven't revealed any details yet.

And the timing is hilarious. Just days ago, Trump hinted at using the U.S. “mother of all bombs,” a nearly 10-ton monster, against Iran's nuclear sites.

What's next, the uncle of all bombs? 💀

🚨🇺🇸 🇮🇷 Iran’s blockade of Hormuz is failing: the Gulf is pumping out MORE oil than before the war

Kpler's numbers for the week through Oct. 18: 24 million barrels a day out of the region against 23.3 million prewar, and Hormuz itself back to 82% of normal even though October has seen roughly 30 ship attacks, a fifth of the war's total.

Saudi and Emirati pipelines now carry 40% of the Gulf's non-Iranian crude around the strait, up from 17% in February.

Iran's own exports stay bottled up by the US blockade.

The system doing it is ugly and EXPENSIVE.

Tankers reportedly load inside the Gulf with their trackers off, dash through under American air cover along the Omani coast, hand the cargo to another ship in the Gulf of Oman and go back in for more.

Crews get three times their monthly pay or a $25,000 bonus for one round trip, a supertanker run to China costs a record $37 a barrel in freight, war insurance has jumped from under 3% to 10% of hull value, and one ship that took an RPG through its water tank last week was carrying 2 million barrels of Iraqi crude at the time.

Credit where it's due: CENTCOM said last week that the US controls Hormuz and Tehran's "closed" claims are lies, and the volume data backs Washington.

Iran can still make the trip dangerous and the whole world is paying for it at $108 Brent, which is why gas is $6 and Trump is at 31%.

But the leverage Tehran built in April, the actual shortage of crude, appears to be gone.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Israel’s PM office is already QUESTIONING the European diplomats who were attacked in the West Bank

They stress that the group entered a sensitive area without coordinating with the IDF, and they note that the French mayor with them once raised a Palestinian flag over his town hall.

The office is telling people to wait for “full evidence” before concluding.

The statement sounds more like a warning that showing up there comes with risks, than to condemn what happened.

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇸🇦 The Trump Admin is reportedly pushing a plan that could END Netanyahu's career within 2 years...

Per Israel Hayom, U.S. and regional officials are exploring an Israeli "unity government" in which Netanyahu would remain PM for up to 2 years.

At the same time, it would be pursuing an end to regional wars and new diplomatic agreements, especially normalization with Saudi Arabia.

Under the proposed framework, Netanyahu would then retire from political life.

The report says Washington is simultaneously offering Riyadh deeper security cooperation, including potential F-35 sales and a civilian nuclear facility, as Trump pushes Saudi to join the Abraham Accords.

In other words, Trump's grand Middle East bargain could come with one enormous political price...

Netanyahu's exit.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The Pentagon reportedly has a MOTHER OF ALL BOMBS plan for Iran’s military sites

The GBU-43/B MOAB is among the options for energy infrastructure and nuclear targets, including Pickaxe Mountain.

The U.S. last used it in Afghanistan in 2017.

The White House says all options remain open to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Trump has said he won’t strike before the midterms, but the strike plans remain ready…

Public pauses and talk of “productive talks,” while military options stay on the table. Classic.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 The Army's top general warned in DECEMBER that Patriot and THAAD stocks would stay critically low until 2030... we went to war with Iran anyway and fired the general who said it...

His warning sat inside the Pentagon’s own global force plan, the document that decides where American weapons go each year, two months before the first bomb fell on Iran.

Then the war did exactly what he feared: CSIS estimates the US went in with about 2,300 Patriots and fired up to 1,430, as much as 61% of the stockpile, while THAAD was worse, roughly 355 interceptors going in and up to 290 fired, 82% gone.

Fewer than 500 replacement Patriots and zero THAADs were due this year, a new THAAD order takes four and a half years to deliver, and one official told CBS that even if nothing else is fired anywhere, the stockpile doesn’t get back to December’s already-low level until 2030.

Here’s what this adds up to. The commander in chief and his defense secretary were handed an honest assessment from the man who runs the Army, in writing, BEFORE the war.

They went in anyway, fought for seven months without a plan to replace what they were firing, and the officer who told them the truth was shown the door while his numbers came true.

Whether or not the warning is why he was fired, the signal to every other general was received.

This isn’t a munitions problem anymore, it’s a leadership discipline failure: an administration that treated bad news as disloyalty and bombed its way into an exposed position the country can’t shoot its way out of until 2030.

It’s hard to find a precedent for a war started with the magazine already flagged empty by the people who count the bullets.

🇸🇦🇮🇷 Saudi Arabia is accusing Iran of emboldening the Houthi intensification of its attacks against the country.

The Kingdom also blamed “unnamed regional actors.”

The Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthis said the group has acquired advanced weapons technology, including ballistic missiles, attack drones, and speedboats packed with explosives.

The Houthi militia's growing arsenal is already a threat reaching beyond Yemen into Saudi Arabia.

🚨🇾🇪🇨🇳 The Houthis are building Iran’s best missile themselves

Conflict Armament Research found motor sections, airframe pieces, fins and heat shielding for a Kheibar Shekan class missile hidden in two shipments Yemeni authorities seized last year, with paperwork pointing to a Chinese precision metal firm that advertises custom aerospace parts.

The missile flies about 1,200 miles, covering all of Saudi Arabia and Israel, with a warhead that separates and steers around air defenses at 6,000 mph.

This fits a pattern...

In August the Journal reported Chinese factories supply the turbojet engines in the Shahed drones that wrecked the US Navy base in Bahrain, Chinese firms are the top source of seized Houthi-bound parts, and US officials have suspected Beijing of feeding Iran targeting data.

Trump wrote on Truth Social Monday that he doesn’t believe China or Russia are helping Iran.

The receipts say China’s factories are arming both ends of this war, and no sanctions list has slowed them down.

BREAKING: The Saudi government is angry that the U.S. military is not using its air defense systems and fighter jets stationed in Saudi Arabia to protect the country, particularly the airports in Riyadh and Dammam.

The U.S. Army’s Patriot PAC-3 battery in Saudi Arabia protects only Prince Sultan Air Base against Iranian threats—not Riyadh or other Saudi cities against Houthi attacks.

Unlike in previous years, U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard fighter jets stationed at Prince Sultan Air Base are no longer conducting combat air patrols to intercept Houthi drones and cruise missiles over Saudi Arabia. Instead, they are patrolling the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Sea of Oman.

This has angered Saudi Arabia, which is itself unable to use its own Patriot PAC-3 and THAAD air defense systems to protect its air bases.

🇬🇧🇮🇷 Iran may have just brought its war with America onto BRITISH SOIL

Think about the magnitude of this.

Britain's Prime Minister says the Revolutionary Guards were almost certainly behind a suspected attack plot at RAF Fairford, the very base American bombers have used to strike Iran.

The threat was serious enough that the U.S. pulled its B-1 bombers out of Britain.

7 men were arrested. London has now summoned Iran's ambassador and sanctioned two more Iranians, including a senior IRGC intelligence official.

We're talking about a suspected Iranian-directed operation against American military assets inside a NATO country.

And that changes the conversation entirely.

If Tehran is willing to take the fight to American forces stationed in Britain, how far beyond the Middle East does this war actually extend?
