🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — U.S. official to CNN denies reports that U.S. forces struck Konorak Naval Base, Iran.

🇮🇷⚡️ — Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force fighter aviation patrolled the southern Iran-Iraq border as Israeli/American fighters flew above southern Iraq, likely combat air patrol in case any launches occured.

🇯🇴⚡️ — Fighter jet activity above northwestern Jordan, flying east. Presumably, more Israeli Air Force fighters.

📝 Very clear that this is, at the least, a simulated attack run. This goes beyond the probing we have observed over the past few weeks.

🇮🇱🇵🇸🇫🇷 Israeli minister for national security, Itamar Ben Gvir, posted an AI generated video on X/Twitter with the caption "Gaza 🧡 Paris" where he advocates for the expulsion of Palestinians in Gaza to France.

The video shows him in the form of a genie fulfilling the "wish" of a Palestinian that wanted to move to France.

Ben Gvir's party, Otzma Yehudit, is one of the few Israeli parties that openly admit the desire to expel Palestinians from their land and ship them to Europe.

Ben Gvir's colleague, finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, told the audience and foreign journalists as the 2026 NatCon Summit in Jerusalem that "There is no justification for demanding that Western countries absorb Middle Eastern populations again and again" despite a lengthy track record of statements made for the Jewish speaking audience advocating for the same policies supported by Ben Gvir and the rest of the moderate Netanyahu cabinet.

Israel has scheduled Parliamentary elections on October 27th and Israeli politicians are campaigning hard to secure the most votes for their political formations.
