While according to war journalist for VOAnews, US official told them Trump admin plans to strike Iran following US elections next week, “aircraft are moving into position. MOAB use expected.”
This is happening while currently the US keeps sending Iran useless and ridiculous requests for political resolutions, which is obviously to buy time to get their military into position.
Iranian leadership knows this as well.

The fear is mounting after a series recent attacks and threats against ground targets, including the destruction of key bases in the Middle East by Iran, plots against mega-bases in Europe, including to U.S. bombers at a British air base, and a Russian campaign that damaged European military facilities, according to two government officials.
While the Pentagon is notorious for inflating threats to press for additional funding, the officials stressed that the anxiety is real, not invented. Despite the U.S. military’s enormous budget, they say, the United States now finds itself scrambling strengthen its fortifications, protect its costly equipment, and recall personnel from some locations.
“Now all the world knows what the SecDef should have,” said one of the officials.
Foreign adversaries have taken notice of Iran’s ability to defeat U.S. air defenses using missiles and drones, they said. The officials drew specific attention to Tehran’s ability to damage or destroy bases that have been the key to U.S. power-projection and war-making for decades in the Middle East.
An Iranian missile and drone attack on February 28 destroyed Navy facilities in Manama, Bahrain, the region’s most critical logistics hub. The Combined Air Operations Center at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar, was severely damaged by Iranian missiles early in the war, rendering it inoperable. Both were recently attacked again, raising questions about whether either will ever be rebuilt. The destruction of these bases has fundamentally altered America’s future force posture in the region, according to the officials. One of them called it a “seismic shift.”
On Friday, the Trump administration leaked highly classified intelligence to Fox News and Axios suggesting Iran has “substantially increased” efforts to target U.S. diplomats and other officials in the Middle East and beyond. The October 23 memo claimed that “the lethal plotting efforts by the Iranians against U.S. citizens have reached advanced stages.” A U.S. official confirmed the accuracy of the intelligence but questioned the motives of the “official leak,” suggesting it’s part of a case being built to justify renewing the failed war.
The leak came as the State Department ordered a further reduction in staff at multiple diplomatic posts across the Middle East, including in Jordan, Lebanon, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. One of the officials said the move “definitely” spoke to America’s inability to defend its assets overseas. Those fears now extend to the United States, according to the officials.
Last month, buried in an unhinged address to troops in which he attacked the press and those within the military he calls beardos, weirdos, and wimps, self-styled War Secretary Pete Hegseth tacitly acknowledged the vulnerability of U.S. domestic bases, noting that the Pentagon was now “hardening every installation on American soil” against “sabotage and drones.” And last week, the Pentagon quietly began seeking advice on new ways to protect bases by using innovative advanced materials, camouflaging facilities, obscuring their thermal and electromagnetic signatures, hiding them underground, and making them more resilient in the face of successful attack by adversaries, according to a special notice issued by a top Pentagon official.

📢 🇸🇻 🇭🇹 Nayib Bukele on X: Haitian people,
We have nearly finished deploying our soldiers and equipment on Haitian soil. This is not an operation against the Haitian people, nor an invasion of the country of Haiti. We are not a great power. We have no interest in coming to dominate the Haitian people, nor in laying hands on Haiti's wealth.
We are a modest country that is developing. The only thing we want is for our four aviation technicians to return home. And we're giving the gangs a lesson—these gangs that make the Haitian people suffer, that kill people the population loves, that prevent them from living a normal, free life, without fear.
It's almost just us footing the bill for this operation. Even though we receive a bit of logistical help from a few other countries, it's with our own modest funds that we're covering 90% of the expenses.
It costs us dearly, but we've learned from our own suffering: justice and peace have no price. We went through the same suffering that Haiti is going through today. We lived through a nightmare that was even more horrific than what the Haitian people are enduring right now. We know what that means: living in fear, not trusting politicians, not believing anyone who promises to help you. Because no one came to help us, and those who did come didn't have good intentions in their hearts.
But we managed to escape it. After 200 years of suffering, finally we're living in peace, and today we are the safest country on the continent.
We didn't come to Haiti to make money, because no one is paying us to do it. We came to Haiti to fight against the wicked.
But here's what I'm asking of you: trust us, pray to the one true God, and ask Him to heal Haiti.
"If at that time my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, where I am, I will forgive their sin, and I will heal their land."
2 Chronicles 7:14
Help us help Haiti.
And when our mission is finished, we'll return home. Perhaps the next generation of Haitians will remember us as friends who came to help one day.

📢 🌐 👨💻 Binance Founder Says Exchange Appears Hacked as $1.8 Billion Frozen
Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao says the exchange appears to have been hacked, with Tether and Circle freezing approximately $1.8 billion. Binance is investigating a potential security incident, while CZ says he expects user funds to be fully covered.
Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao said the cryptocurrency exchange appeared to have suffered a hack, reporting that stablecoin issuers Tether and Circle had frozen nearly $1.8 billion following suspicious movements from wallets associated with the platform. In an October 29 post on X, Zhao, widely known as CZ, said user funds were safe and expressed confidence that customers would be fully covered. “It does look like a hack on Binance,” Zhao wrote.
Binance separately acknowledged reports of a potential security issue and said its teams were investigating. The exchange has not yet released a definitive account of the incident or confirmed the total amount of any losses.
Zhao addressed the reports after on-chain monitoring accounts identified large transfers from wallets labeled as belonging to Binance. “User funds are safe!” he wrote, before acknowledging the possibility that the exchange had suffered a security breach: “It does look like a hack on Binance.” He also thanked the two major stablecoin issuers for their response: “Appreciate the quick freeze from Tether (~$971m) and Circle (~$823m).”

Binance Appears Hacked, CZ Says, as Tether and Circle Freeze $1.8B · Clash Report
Binance appears to have been hacked, CZ says, as Tether and Circle freeze nearly $1.8 billion. Binance says it is investigating.
🇹🇭 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 Thailand’s prime minister has reportedly revoked the citizenship of the country’s chief rabbi because he continued to use his US passport to enter and exit countries, in violation of Thai law.
The Straits Times, a Singaporean publication, reported on Thursday that the decision came as part of a broader crackdown on foreigners and dual citizens in Thailand under Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul’s government. Israelis in the Southeast Asian country have faced increased scrutiny and protests recently, and have had the length of their visas shortened.
Rabbi Yosef Chaim Kantor, a prominent, US-born Chabad rabbi who has lived in Thailand since 1993, was granted Thai citizenship in 2013 through the country’s naturalization process, according to the publication. While he has long held Thai travel documents, he has reportedly continued to use his American passport while traveling, the report said.
Under Section 19(2) of Thailand’s Nationality Act of 1965, the Thai government can revoke the citizenship of any dual citizen who acquired citizenship through naturalization, if there is evidence showing that the person continued to make use of their other nationality.
Chabad has a large presence in Thailand, as the country has long been a popular destination for Israelis and Jews from around the world. According to the Straits Times, last year some 420,000 Israelis entered the country, and some 30,000 live there full-time.
Israeli tourists and expats in Thailand have been under increased scrutiny in recent months due to a surge in allegations of disruptive behavior and culture clashes with locals. There have been protests against Israelis in the country, some of which have featured antisemitic language.
Thailand announced this year that it was shortening the visa-free stay for tourists from dozens of countries, including Israel, from 60 to 30 days, amid anger over the conduct of tourists in the country.
The new regulations came as Thailand has increased penalties for tourists who break the law or disrespect the local culture. Foreigners who run afoul of those rules can have their visas revoked and can be barred from returning.
