The plan consists of three scenarios, two of which are shared in this article. One scenario consists of U.S. forces launching an invasion of southern Iran through Iraqi territory, and another consists of Iran invading Kuwait from Iraqi territory.
Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi also warned Coordination Framework and Islamic Resistance in Iraq officials that if Iraqi militias join the next American-Iranian war, arrests would be conducted by the Iraqi government against the Islamic Resistance in Iraq.

Russia continued their large-scale Geran-2/4/5 drone attacks against Ukraine over the last 72 hours, using over 1,000 drones and S8000 Banderol cruise missiles to strike hundreds of targets across Ukraine.

🇪🇺🇷🇺⚡️- An EU report claims that a vast online Russian network blamed the French riots on uncontrolled immigration and fabricated events during the riots. According to the report, the Russian network deformed reality and helped propagate "fake news" that were then shared by "MAGA-linked online activists, officials and personalities".
The report fails to mention that the footage circulated online to back up the claim immigrants were mostly behind the riots came directly from independent reporters in France or from official French media.

Brent crude futures traded below $100 a barrel, falling 16% last week. Brent was down 3.5% at $94.93, and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) was down 3% at $88.13.
However, the war against oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz is far from over. Iran has been disabling tanker after tanker every day meaning that the constraints on the global oil supply have not disappeared pointing towards heightened fuel prices in 2027.

The US, Ukraine and Russia will meet on November 10–11, their first trilateral talks since February. European officials will also be in Abu Dhabi, but Moscow insists the negotiations themselves will remain strictly trilateral.
Kushner says a broader European security dialogue should follow, potentially covering security guarantees, military transparency and measures to prevent another conflict.

Iran's ties with Iraq will withstand US pressure on Baghdad to close most border crossings, Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said on November 9.
Washington's demand targets one of Tehran's most valuable trade routes. Iraq is Iran's second-largest export market after China, and bilateral trade reached about $12bn in the Iranian year to March 2025, with both governments targeting $20bn within three years.
Closing the crossings would also complicate Baghdad's efforts to mediate between Tehran and Washington, as Iraq reviews $60bn in investment agreements with the US, its main security partner.
Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein said on November 8 that the US Treasury had asked Baghdad to close all but two of its border crossings with Iran. One of the exceptions would be in Iraq's Kurdistan Region.
He warned that shutting the crossings would be difficult and damaging to Iraq's economy, given the number of official and unofficial routes between the countries. Baghdad is discussing the demand with Washington.
Baghaei was responding to questions about contacts between Iranian and Iraqi officials, including a reported visit to Tehran by an Iraqi presidential delegation and Hussein's remarks.
He described exchanges between neighbouring countries as routine, adding that disruption to air travel caused by US pressure had made such visits more conspicuous.
Baghaei said Iran expected shared interests and regional considerations to prevail over pressure from outside the region. He recalled Tehran's support for Iraq during periods of international isolation.

Moldova commissioned the 400 kV Vulcănești–Chișinău overhead electricity line on November 8, providing a direct route for electricity imports from Romania and the European market to the country’s capital, where a significant part of the country's economic activity is concentrated, and reducing reliance on transmission infrastructure crossing Transnistria and Ukraine.
The inauguration ceremony at the Chișinău power station was attended by President Maia Sandu, European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos and Energy Minister Dorin Junghietu, according to a statement from the Moldovan presidency.
Sandu said the new infrastructure removed a major vulnerability in Moldova’s energy system, which had been exposed during periods when supply routes and access to electricity were used to exert pressure on the country. Previously, the bulk of the imports was handled by the MoldGRES power station, controlled by Russia, on the territory of the separatist Transnistria.
“The dependence on a limited number of sources and supply routes cost us. Every time Moldova dared to choose something other than what Moscow wanted, we were threatened with being left without light and heat. And there were periods when we were disconnected,” Sandu said.
The president described the Vulcănești–Chișinău line as one of Moldova’s most important strategic infrastructure investments, saying it would give the country greater freedom to choose its electricity suppliers.
“This project strengthens our ability to buy energy without being vulnerable to pressure and blackmail,” she said.
Sandu added that the commissioning of the line had eliminated a major vulnerability in the energy system, saying that “no one can blackmail us anymore”.
Kos said the new infrastructure marked a significant change in Moldova’s energy relationship with Russia.
“Today we can truly say: the energy dependence of the Republic of Moldova on Russia has been stopped. No country has the right to use energy sources to dictate something to Moldova. Now you can take energy from wherever you want,” the European commissioner said.
The line is approximately 158 kilometres long and includes modernisation works at the Vulcănești and Chișinău power stations. The project was completed more than two years later than initially planned, with the original deadline set for August 2024.

Romania has been in the midst of an energy crisis for the last 2 years, consistently ranking either first or among the top 3 EU countries with the highest energy prices according to Eurostat data.
2026 was the worst year so far due to a combination of poor weather causing a historic drought in the Danube basin leading to reduced energy production on the Iron Gates I and II hydroelectric power plans shared with Serbia and the shutdown of the Cernavodă nuclear power plant as the plant relies on the Danube to cool down the nuclear fuel but due to the drought the water level couldn't reach the facility anymore.
Prior to the drought, the prices were consistently high due to the Romanian government's commitment to fulfilling the EU net-neutral zero carbon emissions directives (also partly motivated by hundreds of millions of EURs worth of EU funds) which led to the shut down of its coal power plants with a transition planned to natural gas. The power plants running on natural gas suffered delays during construction but are about to become operational in the coming months right when the EU natural gas market is surpassing the record prices it set in the 2022 energy crisis caused by the US-Israeli war with Iran.
In terms of renewable energy, the Romanian government left private investors build wind and solar farms but as the program wasn't managed by the state, these farms were built with little to no stocking capacity meaning that the surplus energy generated in sunny or windy days couldn't be stored for later use.
Prior to the construction of the 400 kV Vulcănești-Chișinău power line, Moldova relied almost exclusively on the electric energy produced by the natural gas operated, Moldavskaya GRES in the city of Dnestrovsc (Dnestrovsk) under separatist Transnistrian control who was supplied with Russian gas at below-market prices. Russian gas is still reaching the city through the TurkStream pipeline and the energy is far cheaper than what Romania/EU offers.
Until Romania fixes its energy market by building electric batteries to store excess energy produced by renewable sources, leaders in Chișinău will continue to be incentivised to rely on Transnistria for their needs or beg the EU to help them subsidise energy prices for Moldovan consumers.
