'World War 3': Nuclear Escalation In Iran War? Tehran's 'No Geography Warning As Trump-Bibi Clash
The Iran war may be approaching a dangerous crossroads. Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are reportedly split over whether to restart military action, with Netanyahu pushing for strikes and Trump seeking more time for negotiations. At the same time, Tucker Carlson has warned that Trump could face pressure to launch a nuclear strike against Irans Pickaxe Mountain facility. His claim has not been independently verified. Tehran has responded with a threat of its own, warning that the next war could last longer and spread beyond the previous battlefield. Iran says there will be no geographical limits to its retaliation. The stakes are enormous. A new conflict could hit American troops, Israeli cities, Gulf energy routes and global oil prices. The question now is whether diplomacy can stop escalation before the nuclear option enters the conversation for real.

US Midterms 2026: Why Trump's Republican rivals may be helping Democrats win Senate seats
As the midterm elections approach, Trump's dominance complicates the GOP's strategy for retaining the Senate majority. Candidates supported by Trump face the challenge of appealing to a broader electorate in competitive states. Despite Republican advantages, changing political dynamics and rising voter concerns could affect election outcomes. Republicans previously held a 53-47 Senate majority, defending several crucial seats.

'A despicable betrayal': Dems incensed by Haley Stevenss endorsement of Mike Rogers
On Election Day, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers will face off in what may be the marquee battle of the 2026 midterms: the race to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters in Michigan. It's a contest that could decide which party controls the U.S. Senate. Democrats currently hold 47 Senate seats, including two independents who caucus with them. They need 51 to win back the chamber. (A 50-50 split would give Vice President JD Vance the tiebreaking vote.) Polls suggest that flipping four Republican seats is very possible , but Democrats are also playing defense in Georgia, New Hampshire and Michigan. The Great Lakes State looks like the closest of the three. Democrats are pinning their hopes on El-Sayed , an unapologetic 42-year-old progressive who's pushing policies such as Medicare for All and ending U.S. military aid to Israel; who's willing to confront his critics and his own party's establishment; and who's vying to become America's first Muslim senator. Republicans have handed the reins to Rogers , a 63-year-old former congressman who lost an extremely close Senate race to Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin two years ago, and who has since broken with President Trump on tariffs and the war in Iran. The race has been rocked by several controversies, and the biggest came Sunday, two days before the election. Rep. Haley Stevens, the Democrat El-Sayed narrowly defeated in the primary, endorsed Rogers after the two worshipped together at Perfecting Church in Detroit. Our Democratic nominee for Senate said I was no longer welcome in his campaign and that I should stay away, Stevens said in a video. And he's right. And that's why I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today. Stevens had said days earlier that she would vote for El-Sayed, and the two were due to appear together Sunday for the first time since August. That plan collapsed after she called on him to condemn an outside group's ad tying U.S. support for Israel to grocery prices. His campaign then asked her to stay away , NBC News reported. Defending her stance, Stevens told CNN on Sunday the decision was a weight off my shoulders and said she had decided to switch allegiances because El-Sayed had been getting angrier and angrier throughout the campaign. When Stevens announced her change in support for Rogers, she maintained that she was still a very proud Democrat. Michigan's Democratic Party chair, Curtis Hertel, fumed over the decision in a Sunday post on X , writing, Congresswoman Stevens is not a current member of the Michigan Democratic Party, nor will she be in the future. Trump told a rally in Iowa on Sunday that he'd love Stevens to join the Republican Party and said she'd been very brave to endorse Rogers. Rep. Debbie Dingell, who helped arrange the event, told the AP before the endorsement that she had called it off. I'm the one who pulled it because it had become way too distracting, she said. I would rather not distract from the key issues of this campaign, El-Sayed said Saturday . He attended a different Detroit church Sunday with Dingell and other Democrats, and did not address the dispute there, the AP reported. Stevens's longtime chief of staff resigned after the church visit, and more staff were expected to leave, the AP reported, citing a person familiar with the matter. On Sunday, El-Sayed spoke with reporters before a unity event with other Democrats and reacted to Stevens's endorsement, saying, At the end of the day, I actually don't think about Haley Stevens. This is a state of 10 million people who deserve a lot better from their government. I'm a lot more focused on the 9,999,998 that are not the ones you guys are talking about, El-Sayed said, referring to Stevens and Rogers. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer wrote on social media on Sunday that Stevens's reversal was a despicable betrayal. Jason Turkish, Stevens's fianc, said last week that he would vote for Rogers because of El-Sayed's criticism of Israel's conduct in Gaza. Every time [El-Sayed] talks about genocide, Jews get death threats, Turkish, a Michigan lawyer and registered Democrat, claimed Oct. 28 at a Rogers campaign event . We have never seen a candidate for U.S. Senate act so recklessly toward the safety of Jews in the community as we have seen from Abdul. Further raising the stakes is the fact that Michigan couldn't be more purple, having swung to Trump in 2016, then Democrat Joe Biden in 2020, then back to Trump in 2024 always by slim margins. Here's everything you need to know about the Michigan Senate contest. Who's winning? Here's what the polls say. Twelve polls have been conducted in October. Eleven of them have shown El-Sayed with leads ranging from 1 to 7 percentage points . New surveys from both CBS Detroit and CNN give El-Sayed a 7-point lead. The only recent poll to show Rogers ahead (by 2 points) was sponsored by a group affiliated with the former congressman . All of those polls were taken before Stevens's endorsement. To close the gap on Election Day, Rogers has been reaching out to two groups who backed Stevens over El-Sayed in the primary: Black and Jewish Democrats. In August, Stevens won a majority of Michigan's large counties with significant Black populations by an average of 8.5 percentage points . She also won Detroit with more than 60% of the vote, making El-Sayed the first Michigan Democrat since 2018 to win a statewide primary without winning the state's largest city. El-Sayed shakes hands with former President Barack Obama during a campaign event on Oct. 24, 2026, in Detroit. AP Photo/Paul Sancya Some members of Michigan's Jewish community also gravitated toward Stevens because El-Sayed has called the war in Gaza a genocide and accused Democrats who refuse to do the same of lacking the courage necessary to stand up to Donald Trump. Killing tens of thousands of people makes you pretty damn evil, El-Sayed told CNN in April . It's not how evil is this one versus that one. Hamas: evil. Israeli government: evil. We can say both. It remains to be seen whether Rogers's outreach will pay off; he's also targeting more reliable Republican constituencies such as the nearly 4 million Michiganders ages 50 and older. So far, polls suggest that El-Sayed's strategy trying to maximize his support among anti-establishment voters, Arab Americans and young voters has put him ahead in the polls. But the polls have overestimated El-Sayed before. In the run-up to August's primary, several surveys showed El-Sayed with a double-digit lead over Stevens. The race ended up being much closer than expected, with El-Sayed edging Stevens by less than 1 percentage point . How controversial has the race been? El-Sayed's background has also made him the target of persistent attacks from Republicans, with Trump going so far as to call him a jihadist and accuse him of being on the side of the terrorists. Vice President JD Vance recently said El-Sayed had zero attachment to the United States. El-Sayed is a U.S. citizen who was born and raised in Michigan. Rogers has claimed without evidence that El-Sayed has supported the Muslim Brotherhood, one of the Arab world's oldest and most influential Islamist groups. In a recent exchange at a town hall with a critic who asked him whether he denounced the Muslim Brotherhood, El-Sayed highlighted what he called the implicit suggestion in the question: the assumption that he'll have dual loyalties because of his faith. I'm not running to be a Muslim senator, he said. I'm running for the U.S. Senate and happen to be Muslim. After Trump referred to El-Sayed as Mohammed his middle name the Democrat responded in what has become his signature pugnacious style. I don't care how he pronounces my name, El-Sayed said during a rally in Grand Rapids on Oct. 25. Because he can just go on and call me 'senator' after November. I will be Senator Mohamed to you, bro. Trump watches a video of El-Sayed during a campaign rally on Oct. 25, 2026, in Port Huron, Mich. AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson Meanwhile, El-Sayed has campaigned with Hasan Piker , a Marxist streamer whom other Democrats have called antisemitic and even anti-American . If perfectly inoffensive won elections, then Donald Trump would never have been president, El-Sayed said in April when reporters questioned his choice of allies. An independent left-wing group affiliated with Piker's uncle, commentator Cenk Uygur, also recently released an ad linking U.S. support for Israel to high grocery prices. The ad shows two parents shopping for their kids' lunch items; the mom tells the dad to put a carton of eggs back on the shelf. They don't like eggs anymore? the dad asks. No, they like eggs, the mom answers. But we have to set that $7 aside for killing Palestinians. Some Democrats and Republicans have urged El-Sayed to denounce the content of the ad rather than just distancing himself from it. That has nothing to do with our campaign, El-Sayed said of the ad. It's certainly not what I want to be talking about right now. Who is El-Sayed? El-Sayed, 42, was born on Halloween 1984 in Rochester Hills, Mich. a northern suburb of Detroit. His parents were immigrants from Egypt, and his first language was Arabic. He captained his high school's wrestling, football and lacrosse teams, then continued to play club lacrosse at the University of Michigan, where he majored in biology and political science. El-Sayed went on to study medicine at Michigan, Oxford University (as a Rhodes Scholar) and Columbia University, where he received his MD. Before politics, he pursued a career in public health epidemiology as a tenure-track professor, and later led the Detroit health department. In 2017, El-Sayed, then just 32, resigned as Detroit's health director to run for governor. He said at the time he was inspired by his work on the Flint water crisis . He was endorsed by prominent progressives Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez but lost the Democratic primary to Gretchen Whitmer by more than 20 percentage points. After a stint as Wayne County health director, El-Sayed decided to try again in 2026. He has since become the most prominent Democratic insurgent to channel left-wing disillusionment with politics and outrage over Israel's actions in Gaza to win his party's nomination in a state where more moderate candidates typically prevail. His argument is that even in so-called purple states such as Michigan, Democrats have a better shot at success when they pick buzzy, big-swing progressives over safe, electable incrementalists. Who is Rogers? Rogers was born in Livingston County, Mich., in 1963. He earned a bachelor's degree in criminal justice and sociology from Adrian College in 1985 before joining the Army. After four years of military service, Rogers joined the FBI as a special agent based in Chicago. His work with federal law enforcement focused on countering organized crime and public corruption. Rogers began his political career in 1994, when he was elected to a seat in the Michigan state legislature. He served for six years before launching his first bid for Congress. Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina campaigns for Rogers in Muskegon, Mich., on Oct. 30, 2026. AP Photo/Paul Sancya Rogers was elected to the House of Representatives in one of the closest races of the 2000 election cycle, defeating Democrat Dianne Byrum by just 111 votes . During his 14-year tenure in the House, Rogers was a key conservative voice on national security and intelligence issues. He spent four years as chairman of the powerful House Intelligence Committee, much of that time focused on what he describes as the economic and national security danger posed by China. Rogers left Congress in 2015 and quickly began a career in media. He hosted a daily syndicated radio show called Something to Think About with Mike Rogers and worked as a commentator for CNN. Rogers returned to run for the Senate in 2024. Roughly six months after that loss, he announced his plan to run again in 2026. Rogers is a conservative Republican on most issues including abortion, immigration and transgender rights but his opinion on Trump has shifted through the years. Over the past few weeks, Rogers has retreated from his early support for the president on two key issues: calling for Trump to end the tariff war with Canada and saying the conflict in Iran should also end quickly.

Severe cyclone 'Murasu' to cross Andhra coast tonight, heavy rain alert for Tamil Nadu
Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 2 (IANS) Cyclone Murasu, formed over the Bay of Bengal, has intensified into a severe cyclonic storm and is projected to make landfall along the southern coast of Andhra Pradesh between midnight and 4 a.m. on Tuesday, according to Chennai Regional Meteorological Centre Director Durai. Addressing a press conference on the impending storm, Durai stated that while the primary landfall zone remains southern Andhra Pradesh, northern coastal Tamil Nadu will experience severe weather conditions. Coastal districts, including Chennai and Tiruvallur, are expected to receive heavy to very heavy rainfall as the system approaches land. Wind speeds near the core of the cyclone are expected to reach 100 to 120 km/h during landfall. Meanwhile, districts such as Chennai and Tiruvallur are likely to witness strong winds gusting up to 80 km/h, Durai warned. He added that the rain spell over Chennai will persist till Tuesday morning, with inland districts like Vellore and Nilgiris also slated for heavy showers over the next 24 hours. Despite the severe classification, officials reassured the public that Cyclone Murasu is not anticipated to cause damage on the scale witnessed during the past landfall of Cyclone Arnab. However, precautionary measures have been put in place immediately across sensitive zones. Fishermen operating along the northern Tamil Nadu coast have been strictly advised against venturing into the sea. Strong squally winds reaching speeds up to 80 km/h are projected to prevail over the northern coastal belt starting this evening, creating hazardous marine conditions. Looking ahead, the Weather Department expects wet spells to taper off into moderate rainfall across Tamil Nadu after November 7, with intermittent showers likely to continue into the second week of November. Reviewing seasonal performance, Director Durai noted that Tamil Nadu has received healthy precipitation during the ongoing Northeast Monsoon so far. The state has recorded 18 per cent excess rainfall compared to the seasonal normal, providing substantial reserves before the current severe weather system takes complete effect across the region. Local administrations remain on high alert to handle any emergency.

Heavy to very heavy rainfall is also expected in isolated areas within the Prakasam, Markapuram, and Nellore districts. ASDMA Managing Director Prakhar Jain has advised people to stay safely indoors. People have been urged to maintain a high state of alert and remain cautious of power lines that may have snapped due to the strong winds. Fishermen have been advised not to venture into the sea. According to the Visakhapatnam Cyclone Warning Centre, a storm surge of about 1.5-2 metres above the astronomical tide is very likely to inundate low-lying areas of South Coastal Andhra Pradesh. Authorities have issued danger signals to ports along the Andhra Pradesh coast. Great Danger 10 (GD-10) has been issued to Nizampatnam Port and Vadarevu Harbour.

Kim Jong Un Presses 'Danger' On Cluster-Bomb Warheads, Nukes Rush As Korean Peninsula Turns Hot
North Koreas latest weapons test has sent a chilling message. Pyongyang says it tested a cluster-bomb warhead for tactical ballistic missiles, with a claimed destructive range covering up to 13 hectares. The weapon could threaten airfields, ports, troop positions and logistics hubs. The test followed the Iron Mace exercise by the United States and South Korea, which focused on integrating US nuclear capabilities with South Korean conventional forces. North Korea says the drill was a nuclear war rehearsal and has vowed to strengthen its nuclear deterrent faster. Washington and Seoul insist their exercises are defensive. But on the Korean Peninsula, one sides deterrence is the other sides provocation. With tensions also rising over a landmine incident and possible loudspeaker broadcasts, the danger is not only North Koreas weapons. It is the cycle of fear, preparation and miscalculation surrounding them.
'Hindus And Jews Vs Muslims': Asim Munir's Twisted, New Anti-India Plot In Tehran Exposes Pak
Pakistan has discovered a dangerous weapon against India: fear. Field Marshal Asim Munir has reportedly warned Irans powerful security chief Mohsen Rezaei that India and Israel are forming an alliance against Muslims, portraying Delhi as the unmistakable antagonist of West Asia. But why is Munir dragging India into a confrontation it is not part of? In this video, we dissect the October 26 Tehran meeting with Saudi Arabia and Turkey, the revival of the two-nation theory, Pakistans relentless pursuit for relevance amid economic distress and internal upheaval, and Indias expanding influence across the Gulf. We also re-examine Munirs anti-India record, from the Kashmir jugular vein remark to nuclear sabre-rattling, and the contested claims after Operation Sindoor. Is this mere rhetoric, or a calculated conspiracy to weaponise religion and endanger Indians throughout West Asia? Watch to comprehend what Pakistan wants, what India must do immediately, and why it matters.

NDA to work together for Hiriyur bypoll victory: K'taka BJP
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 2 (IANS) Karnataka BJP President and MLA B.Y. Vijayendra on Monday said the BJP and JD(S) would work together in the upcoming Hiriyur Assembly by-election and formulate a strategy to ensure an NDA victory. Speaking to reporters at the BJP state headquarters, Jagannath Bhavan, Vijayendra said the BJP would focus on devising a winning strategy rather than merely discussing how to defeat the Congress. We will formulate a strategy on how we should win rather than concentrating only on how to defeat the Congress party, he said. Vijayendra said the Hiriyur bypoll could be announced at any time and that the issue had been discussed in detail at the BJP core committee meeting held on Monday. We need to sit with some senior BJP leaders and also discuss the matter with Kumaraswamy. We will hold discussions and decide how to field a consensus candidate, he said. Taking a dig at the Congress government, Vijayendra said Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar had already visited Hiriyur within two to three months of assuming office. He said the recent Legislative Council election results reflected the growing dissatisfaction among people against the Congress government. Despite all the show of strength by the ruling Congress government and the Chief Minister, the people of Karnataka have lost confidence in this government, he claimed. Vijayendra said BJP National General Secretary and Karnataka in-charge Harish Dwivedi participated in the party's state office-bearers' meeting and provided guidance on strengthening the organisation in Karnataka. He said the results of the recent Legislative Council elections indicated the level of public anger against the Congress government. There is public anger against the state government and the ruling party. We have been advised to strengthen the organisation by carrying out positive struggles and prepare for the upcoming GBA elections, Zilla Panchayat and Gram Panchayat elections, he said. Vijayendra said the BJP would also have to work keeping the next Assembly elections in mind, adding that the party faced several challenges. The Assembly elections are not very far away. We have many challenges before us, and we have been given guidance on how to overcome those challenges and move forward successfully, he said. He added that Dwivedi had also held informal discussions with members of the BJP state core committee and assured them that he would devote more time to Karnataka. Harish Dwivedi has vast experience. His decision to spend more time in Karnataka will strengthen the organisation and give us greater strength, Vijayendra said. Responding to another question, Vijayendra alleged that the Congress was carrying out a campaign against the Election Commission and other constitutional institutions in Delhi and different parts of the country. He further alleged that the Congress and other parties were conspiring against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and attempting to destabilise the democratically elected Central government. It is clear that the Congress and other parties are conspiring to topple our government at the Centre, which came to power democratically, he alleged. Vijayendra said the BJP had launched a nationwide campaign titled, Save Democracy, Remove Anarchy, against what he described as the Congress party's propaganda and conspiracies. He said the campaign would be held at all district headquarters in Karnataka. As part of the campaign, a padyatra will be held in Kolar on Tuesday, beginning around 11 or 11.30 a.m. More than 10,000 youths are expected to participate. I, Harish Dwivedi and other state leaders will take part in the padyatra, he said. A similar padyatra would be organised in Chitradurga the following day, he added. Vijayendra also launched a sharp attack on the Congress and Rahul Gandhi, alleging that the party had become frustrated under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership. The Congress party and Rahul Gandhi have become extremely frustrated. While Narendra Modi is leading the country as Prime Minister, Rahul Gandhi is dreaming of somehow becoming Prime Minister. Out of frustration, they are resorting to such conspiracies, and our campaign is against this, he alleged. Responding to questions about developments within the ruling Congress, Vijayendra claimed that factionalism in the party would intensify following the Legislative Council election results. I had said that efforts were underway to bring a third Chief Minister to Karnataka. Many secret meetings are taking place, he claimed. He further alleged that former Chief Minister and Congress Working Committee member Siddaramaiah had travelled to Delhi and complained against Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar. There is information that Siddaramaiah went to Delhi and lodged a complaint against D.K. Shivakumar, Vijayendra claimed. Overall, all is not well in the Congress party and the ruling government. There are already indications that this could explode at any time, he said.

'Why Type 1 diabetes didn't stop me from becoming World No. 1': Zverev pens note
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 2 (IANS) Alexander Zverev achieved a significant milestone on Monday when he became the 30th player to reach World No.1 in the sport on the back of a masterful 2026. Zverev won his first two Grand Slams this year - the Roland Garros and then the US Open - as he ascended to the top of the chart and became the second-oldest player to reach World No. 1 for the first time. He is 29 years and six months old at the time of taking the top spot and is only younger than John Newcombe, who was 30 years old when he became the World No.1 in 1974. Zverev is already an Olympic champion, a two-time ATP Finals winner and has won 26 tour-level titles. He is now the new World No.1 and has also achieved the year-end No.1 spot. Zverev penned a note on the ATP website about his journey, where he reflected on how Type 1 diabetes didn't stop him from becoming World No. 1. Zverev was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when he was four, and doctors had told his family that a professional sports career would be nearly impossible for him. He takes injections during matches to manage it. During his note, he highlighted how his mother, Irina, played an instrumental role in helping him manage the problem when his father, Alexander Sr., and brother, Mischa, were away on tours. When I was born, Mischa was almost 10 years old, and by the time I was old enough to play sports, my father was travelling with him to junior tournaments to help him achieve his dreams. So while everyone supported me, it was mostly my mom and I back home doing everything together. And that is not just related to tennis, Zverev wrote. When I was four years old, I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. When that happened, my mom said, Okay, he's still going to be able to play tennis. He's still going to be able to achieve the dreams that he has. No matter what obstacle was going to be in my way, she was not going to let anything stop me. I don't want to say living with Type 1 diabetes helped me in my tennis career, or in life in general. But it definitely made me grow up a bit quicker than I probably would have done without it, he added. The German detailed how he took special care of himself during his early school days, including injecting himself and measuring the sugar levels when he ate food. He added that his mother did not let him listen to those conversations with the doctor and that she did not let his dream slip away. I think it's actually more difficult for the parents because it is a shock to walk into a doctor's office for them to say that their child has diabetes and will have diabetes for the rest of his or her life. The doctors start to tell the parents that different things are not possible for their child and that doing certain activities, like sports, might not be the best life choice. My mom would send me out of the room during those conversations, because she did not want me to hear what was going on. But my mom never accepted those things and would do everything in her power to help me make my dreams come true. Because of that, I never really had any doubt that I could achieve anything, and that was thanks to having a very strong mother by my side. And again, she was my tennis coach until the age of 16, too, he added. Zverev added that he created the Alexander Zverev Foundation to provide support for kids with the disease and that his World No.1 ranking is not his alone. It's a weird circumstance because of Janniks injury. This is not the way that you want to reach the top of the sport. Ideally, you would become World No. 1 when everybody is healthy and playing at their best. But now I am here: World No. 1. Most importantly, I feel like me being World No. 1 is extremely important to a large group of people who have the same issues with diabetes. This is not about me. 'It is great to show everyone out there that they can really achieve their dreams, even with this illness. Yes, with diabetes, you have to grow up faster and take care of yourself a bit better. But everything is possible and you will be able to live a fulfilled life with it. I'm proud as a Type 1 diabetic to show that to families dealing with the disease. And if ever there will be another World No. 1 with diabetes, I would be the happiest person in the world, he concluded.

Iran says 'ball is in the U.S. court' on any deal to end the war
What to know about the Iran war today: Mediators continue pushing for a deal between the U.S. and Iran to end the eight-month war sparked by U.S. and Israeli strikes on the Islamic Republic. Three consecutive days of indirect, closed-door negotiations led by Qatar have yielded no apparent breakthrough, with Iran saying Monday that the ball is in the U.S. court.President Trump has kept his intentions on Iran ambiguous, saying Saturday that the U.S. still has targets to take care of, and then telling a radio network on Sunday that the war will soon be over one way or the other either they'll make a deal, or we'll just end it.Mr. Trump told reporters he had a very good talk Sunday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, discussing the Iran war. Sources quoted by Axios said the president wants to let negotiations play out, while Netanyahu is pushing to resume strikes on Iran. Another tanker on fire near Strait of Hormuz after hitting sea mine, Iranian news agency claims The Iranian Navy claimed Monday that another oil tanker had caught on fire after striking a sea mine near the eastern entrance to the Strait of Hormuz, according to the Fars News Agency, which is closely linked with Iran's powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The report cited the Navy as saying the unnamed vessel had struck a mine while attempting to use shipping lanes through the strait that Iran considers unauthorized and unsafe, but which the Trump administration and U.S. military have repeatedly claimed are free and open. The tanker had switched off its navigation systems, Fars said, referring to a common practice by commercial vessels trying to obscure their movements in the region. Tanker owners should take a lesson from the fate of vessels that violate Iran's rules by trying to transit the strait without authorization from Tehran, the report cited the navy as saying. On Friday, despite repeated assurances from the U.S. that the southern shipping lanes through the strait are open and safe to navigate, the U.K. navy's Maritime Trade Operations center said there had been 30 attacks on commercial vessels in the region in the month of October alone, a record high. The Iranian regime said earlier Monday that 11 ships had caught fire in or near the Strait of Hormuz in the last nine days alone. Iran says it proposed shorter 2-day implementation period for proposed peace deal with U.S. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Saturday that Tehran had presented Qatari mediators with a proposal to shorten the implementation period of a potential deal with the U.S. to just two days from seven. In an interview with Al Jazeera , Araghchi said: The Qatari side proposed shortening the implementation period of the Iranian proposal to five days. We have reached a proposal at this stage that reduces the implementation period to two days. The Iranian minister added, however, that Tehran's conditions for a deal to end the war remain the same. The Islamic Republic regime has demanded that the U.S. release frozen Iranian financial assets, lift the naval blockade of Iranian ports, as well as sanctions, and cease hostilities on all fronts, including Israel's battle with Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza. In exchange, Iran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping traffic and commit to further talks on its nuclear program. Under the original seven-day implementation proposed by Tehran, the Strait of Hormuz would have been reopened on the sixth day. With the shortened implementation period, according to a statement on the Iranian government website, a series of measures will be taken by the United States on the first day, and on the second day, the Strait of Hormuz will reopen and maritime traffic will return to its previous conditions. Iran claims 11 tankers caught fire in 9 days as U.S. commander declared Strait of Hormuz free and clear Iran's government-run broadcaster IRIB said Monday that 11 oil tankers had caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz in the previous nine days, disputing U.S. Central Command chief Adm. Brad Cooper's assertion last week that all primary transit routes in the Strait of Hormuz remain free and clear. In a post on X, IRIB said the 11 tankers had caught on fire since Oct. 25, the day on which it claimed Cooper made his recent fly-over of the strait. The Iranian network offered no evidence, but claimed some of the vessels sank to the depths of the sea. Since the start of the war in February, Iran has targeted vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz in an effort to assert control over the narrow waterway, through which about a fifth of the world's crude oil supply typically passed prior to the conflict. Cooper said last week in a Friday video statement that he saw no Iranian navy vessels in the strait during his flyover earlier in the week. Later Friday, however, the U.K. navy's Maritime Trade Operations center said there had been 30 attacks on commercial vessels in the month of October alone, a record high. The U.S. military and President Trump have repeatedly declared Iran's navy destroyed and insisted that southern shipping lanes through the strait are available to merchant vessels, but ongoing Iranian threats and attacks have kept the risks and costs for shippers high, which has helped Tehran keep maintain pressure on global energy prices. Iran again warns of natural gas shortages ahead of winter Iranian officials repeated warnings Monday of possible gas shortages for residents ahead of the winter, and they called on people to conserve the resource. First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref said he had to be honest about the stability of Iran's gas network in the colder months, as he asked the public to help conserve it. Aref cited imbalances accumulated over previous years and war-related damages, and warned that prices would increase for consumers who fail to conserve. It is not the first time an Iranian official has warned about shortages. On October 25 , Iran's parliament speaker said natural gas consumption across Iran had to be reduced by 10%. Iran's economy has been devastated by years of international sanctions, and the U.S. turn to economic warfare after the initial bombing campaigns of the ongoing conflict have strained finances for Tehran even further. The regime has not shown any willingness to bend on its demands to end the war, however, despite the economic pain for most Iranians. Iran says the ball is in the U.S. court on any prospective peace deal Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson said Monday that the next move in the standoff with the United States is for President Trump to make. The ball is in the U.S. court, because our demands have been stated very clearly and transparently, and Iran's demands are reasonable and logical, Esmaeil Baqaei told journalists in Tehran. Baqaei said ongoing negotiations, which have been brokered by Qatar, Pakistan and other mediators, were centered around the a seven-day proposal that Iran originally presented to the U.S. side in September, which calls for frozen Iranian assets to be released, the U.S. naval blockade to be lifted and an end to fighting on all fronts, in exchange for the phased reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and further negotiations on other topics. President Trump rejected the initial proposal, but both sides have since exchanged revisions, and Mr. Trump has said repeatedly in recent weeks that he just needs to make a decision on whether to launch new attacks on Iran, or to make a deal to end the war. Speaking Sunday to a radio network ahead of a campaign rally in Iowa, Mr. Trump said he would finish with the war soon, one way or the other. Either they'll make a deal, or we'll just end it, he said, without offering any further context. Netanyahu reportedly pushes for new U.S. strikes on Iran President Trump told reporters Sunday that he'd spoken with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday and had a very good talk with him. Mr. Trump gave no details but said the two had discussed the war in Iran. According to sources cited by Axios , Netanyahu pushed for Mr. Trump to strike Iran but the president wants to let the negotiations play out. The U.S. and Iran both engaged in indirect talks via mediators led by Qatar who are pushing to strike a deal between both sides before the conflict escalated. Mr. Trump has repeatedly hinted he is considering resuming attacks on Iran after the midterm elections. Push for U.S.-Iran deal shadowed by threats to resume fighting Qatari mediators are leading indirect talks aimed at reaching a deal between the U.S. and Iran, but the closed door negotiations have been punctuated by exchanges of threats between the leaders of both countries. Iranian negotiators are in Qatar for talks on a proposal that could reopen the Strait of Hormuz soon, according to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who added the outcome depends on answers provided by the United States. On Saturday, President Trump said the U.S. still had to take care of one or two more potential targets in Iran, citing a suspected nuclear complex at Pickaxe Mountain. On Sunday he reiterated the threat, saying he may have to give Tehran the hammer at some unspecified time. Meanwhile, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei warned on Saturday there would be no geographical limitations should the fighting with the U.S. resume, adding that there is a vast theatre to inflict damage. Both sides have previously acknowledged that indirect talks are underway but consistently exchange threats. CBS/AFP UAE hopes for diplomacy but braces for the worst The United Arab Emirates' presidential adviser said Sunday that his country hopes a diplomatic breakthrough in Qatar-led mediations is possible, but that they are also preparing for the possibility of escalation. Speaking at a security forum in Bahrain, Anwar Gargash said Iran's attacks on Gulf countries such as the UAE made this a watershed year for the region. We don't really want to see another round of confrontation in the region, Gargash told the audience. But he added that his country and the region are braced for the the worst, referring to the resumption of active hostilities. The UAE was consistently targeted by Tehran in the opening weeks of the war in retribution for U.S. strikes on Iran, disrupting tourism and daily life, and effectively throwing the security landscape of the region into question. CBS/AP Vessel struck in Strait of Hormuz, U.K. maritime agency says A vessel was struck on Sunday by an unknown projectile in the Strait of Hormuz, a British maritime security agency said, after Qatari media reported an earlier attack on a gas tanker. Britain's UKMTO maritime agency said the master of a merchant vessel has relayed a mayday call... stating that another vessel has been struck by an unknown projectile in the strait. Earlier, Qatar's state news agency said a Qatari gas tanker had been attacked on Friday with unidentified objects while transiting Gulf waters. None of the crew members onboard the vessel were injured, and there was no environmental impact from the attack, the report said. The attack struck a liquefied natural gas carrier, Al Mayeda, which belongs to the Qatar Gas Transport Company, Qatar News Agency said. Since the Middle East war began in February, Iran has been targeting vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and the wider Gulf in an effort to assert control over shipping. Trump says war in Iran will be put away very soon, one way or the other President Trump said he believes the U.S. will soon put the war with Iran away, one way or the other. The president was speaking to Right Side Broadcasting Network before a campaign rally in Iowa on Sunday. We've had such a victory, and we'll put it away very soon, one way or the other, Mr. Trump said. Either they'll make a deal, or we'll just end it The job we've done is amazing. Earlier Sunday, Iran's top diplomat said he hopes there is rationality on the U.S. side as diplomatic efforts seek to avert a return to all-out war.
