🚨BREAKING: Israeli PM
Benjamin Netanyahu Reveals He Spoke To Syria’s Ahmed Al-Shara’a

The conversation occurred in 2025 & marked the first ever direct phone call between an Israeli & Syrian leader.

Syrian Law has outlawed communication with Israel since the 1950s, a violation of this kind would historically have received the death penalty.

Yet, since the regime change of December 2024, Israelis have been permitted to travel to Damascus & Syria has signed onto a joint fusion mechanism that sought to facilitate even commercial projects.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces are occupying southern Syria and are within the municipal boundaries of Damascus.

Riyadh called Beijing. Trump called Putin for diesel. Nobody's coming to save Saudi Arabia — except 110 Americans.
("110 Americans in the Saudi war room" is per Transition Protocol's Pakistani military sources.) Here is why nobody is coming, what Beijing will actually do, and what the Russian diesel deal is really for — from a man who has lived in Beijing for almost three decades.

Einar Tangen joins host Zulfiqar Ali from Beijing as Houthi missiles hit Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport again.
— Riyadh's calls: according to Transition Protocol's Pakistani military sources, 110 Americans were in the Saudi war room during the bombardment of Ansar Allah positions, even as Trump told Riyadh he wanted no new war. Pakistan will guard the holy sites only.
— Beijing's answer: "very little," in Tangen's assessment — China will police dual-use parts flowing to the Houthis, will not arm anyone, and cannot project force from its single base in Djibouti. Reuters reported on 17 September that Saudi Arabia appealed to Beijing and that China privately urged Iran to rein in the Houthis.
— Iran's choice: our sources say Tehran told Pakistani mediators it would not restrain the Houthis — it wanted Saudi losses.
— The October surprise: why the Russian diesel deal (1.8 million tonnes from October to December) covers only days of US demand, and what Tangen thinks it is really for.
— A gateway to a wider war? "Unfortunately, I do." And two ways this ends.

Sourcing note: "110 Americans" and the Iran–Pakistan exchange are the host's own reporting from Pakistani sources. Tangen's remark about discussions of tactical nuclear weapons has not been independently confirmed. On air, a figure of "510 to 525 million tons" of daily US diesel use is a misstatement; the US uses roughly half a million tonnes of distillate a day (EIA).

Trump Rules out Nuclear Strike on Iran When Asked About 'Mother of All Bombs'

October 15, 2026

US President Donald Trump said he would not use nuclear weapons against Iran when asked about reports that Washington could deploy the massive conventional “Mother of All Bombs” after the midterm elections.

“The mother of all bombs is not nuclear,” Trump stressed when asked whether the reported option involved a tactical nuclear weapon.

“No, no, it’s not nuclear at all. This is just an extremely large bomb. It’s like a tiny nuclear bomb,” he said.
Trump then ruled out the need for an actual nuclear strike.

“The mother of all bombs is one big bomb, but it’s not nuclear. I wouldn’t use nuclear. We don’t have to.”

Why Iran says it will no longer wait to be hit · why Oman and Dubai were named · what Iran’s and Pakistan’s central bankers discussed at the IMF meeting, according to Pepe Escobar · how Iranian oil may move to China over land · why, per our host’s sources, the Israelis are out of Riyadh’s war room.

Sourcing note: The Tehran meeting account, the Dubai and Oman lines, the Israelis leaving Riyadh’s war room and the reports on MBS are our host’s own sourcing and cannot be independently verified; the Supreme Leader has made no confirmed public appearance since March.
The “coiled cobra” image is Pepe Escobar’s, from his sources and Iranian diplomatic contacts. Public record: the Iran–Pakistan central bankers’ meeting on the sidelines of the IMF/World Bank Annual Meetings in Bangkok was reported by Iran’s Mehr News Agency (agenda as reported there: banking cooperation and trade); President Trump said on 1 October renewed bombing after the midterms was “possible” and on 8 October that there would be no new attack before them; Taiz city is under siege, not captured (Al Jazeera, 10 October); the US naval blockade of Iran has operated since April, with incidents in the Gulf of Oman. The oil train to China is Pepe’s report and has not yet been reported elsewhere.

Today, let's vote against royal oil:

Yemeni Armed Forces have issues a new warning calling on Saudi non-military people to stay away from Saudi oil facilities and sell Aramco oil company's shares on the stock markets.

A Yemeni military source issued a warning about the security situation in Saudi Arabia and called on employees and citizens to stay away from the country's oil facilities and advised Aramco shareholders to sell their shares before it is too late.

If you are not non-military, you don't get the courtesy of a warning:

The Yemeni army targeted a gathering place of Saudi forces in Marib, located in the northeast of the country, with a missile attack.

The Yemeni army announced on Sunday night that it had targeted a gathering of Saudi forces in Marib province, located in the northeast of the country.

According to Yemeni sources, the air defenses of the country's armed forces also confronted Saudi warplanes in the sky of Saada province and forced them to retreat.

The Yemeni Marib Governorate announced that Ansar Allah forces (Yemeni armed forces) targeted the city of Marib with a missile attack and used 8 ballistic missiles in the attack.

Pepe Escobar:Pakistan Navy Warns Off US Black Hawks;Iran Locks 400 Targets,POROUS BORDER,OPEN ROUTES

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=ORbj7prb6dU

Pakistani military sources say Pakistani naval aircraft warned US helicopters away from the coast off Karachi. The same weekend, trade across the Iran–Pakistan land border crossings was halted — and our host’s sources say Iran has 400 targets locked, many of them in Israel.
Zulfiqar Ali brings both accounts, checked in Islamabad and Tehran; Pepe Escobar, from Bangkok after midnight, brings the dollar-bypass talks the closure interrupted — and the one country whose cargo still crosses.

— 07:57 The Black Hawk encounter, per Pakistani military sources.
— 16:30 Except China: the cargo that still crosses, per our host’s sources.
— 27:17 Iran’s 400 locked targets: the warning our host’s sources relayed.

What you’ll learn: why Pakistan and Iran suspended trade at their border, and what officials on both sides say it was for · whether Washington pressured Islamabad — and the answer our host was given · what the US Navy is doing off Pakistan’s coast · why Chinese cargo is still moving · where Iran stands on the Mecca defence pact · what Egypt and the OIC are doing about Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen.
Sourcing note: The Black Hawk encounter, the Chinese-cargo exemption, the saboteur arrests and the position of US naval assets are our host’s own sourcing from Pakistani military, naval and coastal officials and cannot be independently verified; we found no public report of the encounter. “3 nautical miles” is the distance as reported to our host; Pakistan’s territorial sea extends 12 nautical miles, and the host says the helicopters did not enter Pakistani territory.
A Pakistani brigadier told our host the detained saboteurs were financed by the UAE; that is one officer’s allegation and has not been independently verified. The 3,000-truck figure and its banking cause are Pepe Escobar’s information.
Public record: Pakistan’s Ministry of Commerce suspended trade through the Taftan and Gabd-Rimdan crossings (memo of 16 October, announced 17 October); Pakistani officials cited security, counterterrorism and smuggling and said the border is likely to reopen soon; Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman called the closure temporary and cited “technical issues”; more than 2,000 containers were reported stranded at Gabd-Rimdan, while passenger traffic continued at Gabd-Rimdan.
The 400 locked targets are our host’s sourcing and cannot be independently verified. The Iran–Pakistan central bank meeting is Escobar’s reporting; the IMF–World Bank Annual Meetings ran in Bangkok on 12–18 October. Iran’s interest in the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement is contested: our host’s sources say Iran has expressed interest; Escobar says it is not being discussed in Tehran; Iran’s foreign ministry said in August it had received no formal invitation.

Larry :Lavrov Lands in Tehran, MBS Is on His Own, Trump Is Out of Options,Hegseth Summoned Generals

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=iuzmn4mub9w

Trump said Russia was doing “very little, if anything” to help Iran. Today Sergey Lavrov sat beside Abbas Araghchi in Tehran. Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson asks whether that was a coincidence..

— and host Zulfiqar Ali’s Pakistani and Turkish contacts say the leader who is really on his own is MBS.
— 09:29 Lavrov in Tehran: “You think that was just a coincidence?”
— 19:55 MBS on his own: why Pakistan and Turkey have cut their support, per our host’s contacts — and China’s position.
— 30:48 “There are no good military options”: Trump’s only way out, according to Larry Johnson.

What you’ll learn:
Why Lavrov’s visit contradicts Trump’s claim about Russia · why Pakistan’s border “closure” is two gates, not the border · what our host’s sources say about MBS, Pakistan, Turkey and China · why Iran wants the Islamabad MOU, not the JCPOA · what Johnson expects before the 3 November election.

Sourcing note: The reports on Pakistan’s and Turkey’s support for MBS, on China’s position, on sea traffic through Gwadar and on US helicopters off Pakistan’s coast are our host’s own sourcing and cannot be independently verified. Johnson’s report of a Quantico meeting of senior officers on 20 October had not been publicly reported at the time of publishing. Public record: Lavrov met Araghchi in Tehran on 19 October and said Russia is committed to its 20-year strategic partnership with Iran; Pakistan suspended trade at the Taftan and Gabd crossings (18 October; some reports say four crossings) and Iran’s foreign ministry cited “technical issues”;

Trump said on 16 October that “Israel’s been very helpful to Saudi Arabia”;
IRGC Brigadier General Hossein Zarifi was killed in Saravan on 24 September; Pakistan’s information ministry on 18 October called claims that the US Navy operates from Pakistani territory against Iran “baseless”.

"The BBC has witnessed Israeli settlers attack Palestinians and set fire to olive trees in the occupied West Bank.

Several dozen settlers dressed in black charged down a hill near an outpost – illegal under Israeli and international law - to a field where Palestinians and activists were harvesting olives. They torched about a dozen trees and hurled stones from slingshots.

Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine, who was at the scene, was taken to hospital where she told reporters she "got jumped" and described being kicked on the ground.

The UN says the past two weeks have already seen more attacks by violent Israeli settlers than during the entire harvest season last year. It says this year levels of settler violence have reached an all-time high.

The BBC's Middle East Correspondent Lucy Williamson reports from the occupied West Bank."

"Daniel Klein was born and raised in Efrat, one of the largest religious Zionist settlements in the occupied West Bank. His family helped build the settlement movement, and he grew up immersed in its schools, institutions, theology, politics, and culture before serving as an IDF tank commander. In this conversation, Daniel shares an insider's account of life inside the religious Zionist world, the psychology of belief, the realities of the settlement project, and how Zionism can present a different face to different people while maintaining a powerful hold over identity and belonging.

We discuss Efrat, the West Bank, violent settlers, the relationship between Judaism and Zionism, the dehumanization of Palestinians, military service, nationalism, religious identity, cognitive dissonance, moral injury, and the personal costs of dissent. Daniel explains why leaving Zionism can mean losing family, friends, community, status, and purpose. He describes the process by which ideological systems reproduce themselves, how Israelis are taught to understand Palestinians, and why so many people remain trapped inside narratives.

We also explore Daniel's awakening during COVID, what caused his worldview to unravel, why he believes Israeli society is entering a period of profound crisis, and what lessons his journey offers for all of us."

As usual, whatever they hide inside the word Security means the opposite:

Chairman of Iran's Parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Ebrahim Azizi says the final destination of the Israeli regime is “total defeat by the will of the brave Iranian nation and the Resistance Front."

The final destination of the Israeli regime is “total defeat by the will of the brave Iranian nation and the Resistance Front,” Azizi emphasized in a post on his X account on Tuesday.

The desperate Israeli regime’s new security doctrine is dead on arrival; it offers no escape, not even a fraction of time, he added.

In a post on his X account in Hebrew language on Tuesday, Chairman of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Ebrahim Azizi wrote, “Not only the Zionist regime’s doctrine offers no salvation for this regime, but also it [doctrine] will not even buy it any time.”

Issuing a stark warning to Zionists, the senior lawmaker stated, “The new security doctrine of this fake and hostile regime has failed. It offers you no escape, nor does it buy you any time. Your path leads inevitably to destruction at the hands of the brave Iranian nation and the Resistance Front.”

MBS wants Pakistan. Trump needs Iran. Pakistan’s Field Marshal Munir is in Tehran — and our host’s sources say MBS gets a no. Pepe Escobar says what Munir carried: a quiet return of IAEA inspectors, for little more than the interest on Iran’s $6 billion in Qatar.

— 06:10 The offer: IAEA inspectors back in Iran, and what Iran would get in return — according to Pepe Escobar.
— 14:21 “Show us the money”: why Escobar says Tehran won’t take it — before the 3 November midterms.
— 30:01 What MBS wants from Pakistan, and why our host’s sources say Islamabad will refuse.

What you’ll learn:
What Field Marshal Asim Munir carried into Tehran · why Washington wants a concession from Iran before the midterms · how sanctions, the IMF and the border gates squeeze Pakistan · what Lavrov proposed in Tehran · what our host’s sources say about China’s backing, the Riyadh war room and Saudi pressure.

Sourcing note:
The Qatari–Pakistani IAEA idea and its price are Pepe Escobar’s account; we have not located them in public reporting. The Pakistan–MBS and China reports are our host’s own sourcing from Islamabad and Rawalpindi and cannot be independently verified.
The Najran delegation, the three Black Hawks and the Article 2 wording are as Escobar describes them; we have not located them. Escobar’s Balochistan remarks are a scenario, not a report.

Public record:
Fars said Munir’s trip was finalised on Monday 19 October; Reuters reported on 20 October — after this recording — that Mohsen Rezaei told Munir there would be “no talks with Washington until Tehran’s demands were met”, and that Iranian officials see “little prospect of a breakthrough before the November 3 vote”; Trump has said the US would not strike Iran again before 3 November. The 1934 Treaty of Taif was signed between Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

Netanyahu Says He Discussed Change of Power in Iran With Trump on October 18

TEL AVIV (Sputnik) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that he had discussed with US President Donald Trump on Sunday the change of leadership in Iran.

"However, we must complete the elimination of the Iranian regime – that is the main thing. I have discussed this with President Trump more than once, including the day before yesterday," the prime minister said at the opening of the academic year at the new Kiryat Shmona-Tel Hai University.
He claimed that after the change in Iranian government, the Hezbollah movement could also be eliminated.

Lebanon and Israel will hold the next round of Washington-brokered talks in the US city of Tampa on Tuesday. A Lebanese military delegation will attend the meeting aimed at halting Israeli attacks and securing arrangements for the country’s south that are consistent with the framework agreement signed in July. Israel is expected to demand full disarmament of the Lebanese movement Hezbollah, which it believes has yet to occur in southern Lebanon.

On February 28, the United States and Israel began striking targets in Iran, prompting retaliation from Iran. In mid-June, Tehran and Washington signed a memorandum aimed at a cessation of hostilities, but shortly afterward, they exchanged strikes again. At present, the conflict remains unresolved.

Must watch: Retired Colonel Wilkerson's keen analysis of the Trump administration. From his observation of Trump's total compliance to Netanyahu's demands, even to the point of considering nuclear strikes against Iran, Wilkerson can only conclude that there has to be some blackmail on Trump and Melania about something very dark. That situation is compounded by Trump's dementia. Trump's entourage have insulated him from the reality that public opinion is highly critical of him, as in "the most reviled president in american history".

Personally, I think that the Epstein blackmail operation is at the basis of Trump's entrapment by Israel/Netanyahu. An opinion that seems to be shared by most people, in the USA and globally. Why else would Trump react with such hostility to any mention of releasing the Epstein files. His retort to Marjorie Taylor Greene that the files can't be released because that would 'hurt his friends', and that she deserved the death threats she got for insisting on the files' release, all of that is so grotesquely unconscionable. I wonder why the corporate media isn't questioning Trump about this, or at least questioning Trump's entourage, and keeping this issue on the front burner and center.
