Source to CNN: Iran will deliver ‘definitive, painful’ response to Israeli attack
Iran will deliver a “definitive and painful” response to Israel’s recent attack on its territory, likely before the US presidential election on November 5, CNN reports, citing an anonymous senior source.
The source, who has knowledge of deliberations in Iran tells the network: “The response of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the Zionist regime’s aggression will be definitive and painful.” Israel has been expecting a potential Iranian response to the strike, itself retaliation for Iran’s Oct. 1 barrage of ballistic missiles on the country. But Iran has so far been seen as seeking to minimize that strike, and it was unclear whether it would attempt a major response.
Iran Intensifies Attacks on Anti-Regime Activists Overseas, Including in the U.S.
For many years, Iran has targeted anti-regime activists—especially Iranian expats living abroad—for assassination. Such incidents have occurred in various countries, including Germany recently and in the United States some years ago.
It’s noteworthy that the prominent news program 60 Minutes recently covered this pattern of targeted killings by Iran, albeit in an incomplete segment. However, they did give thorough attention to one specific case.
Hezbollah agrees to withdraw beyond Litani – report
Hezbollah agrees to withdraw beyond Litani River as US pushes for pre-election deal, but Israeli officials remain skeptical
Despite Hezbollah’s declarations throughout the war, the terrorist organization has agreed to drop its demands and is ready to withdraw beyond the Litani River, Lebanon’s MTV website, which is associated with Hezbollah opponents, reported Wednesday night. The report indicated that Hezbollah agreed to establish a demilitarized zone, with all its weapons to be moved beyond the river. It was also claimed that Hezbollah no longer insists on being directly connected to events in Gaza.
Lebanon’s PM hopes for ceasefire with Israel in ‘coming hours’ – report
This follows a draft of the potential ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon revealed on Wednesday evening by Israeli state broadcaster KAN.
Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati told Al Jadeed that he hopes for a ceasefire with Israel in the “coming hours,” the Lebanese media site reported Wednesday evening. Mikati said that while US special envoy Amos Hochstein was visiting Beirut, he brought a proposal that remained “confidential,” the prime minister told Al-Jadeed. He further emphasized that since September 21, there has been no communication with Hezbollah and that his main communication has been with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Mustafa Berri, leader of Amal, Hezbollah’s primary rival in the Lebanese Shia community.
Politicians And Public Figures In Lebanon: It Is Essential To Implement Resolution 1559, Which Mandates Disarming Hezbollah; Resolution 1701 Is Not Enough
As part of the international efforts to achieve a ceasefire between Israel and Hizbullah, politicians inside and outside Lebanon have reiterated the need to implement UN Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 1701, which was adopted in August 2006 and ended the war between Israel and Hizbullah at that time.
This resolution stipulates that the Lebanese government must extend its sovereignty over all of Lebanon’s territory and prohibits the presence of armed forces other than the Lebanese Armed Forces or UNIFIL south of the Litani River. Recently, however, some politicians and journalists in Lebanon have been arguing that implementing Resolution 1701 is not enough, especially given that, in the 18 years since its adoption, this resolution has not been implemented: Hizbullah retains its weapons and continues to gain strength, remains present south of the Litani River and along the Israeli border, and repeatedly involves Lebanon in conflicts with Israel. Accordingly, these elements call not to settle for implementing Resolution 1701 but to also implement Resolution 1559 from 2004, which calls for the disarmament of all Lebanese and non-Lebanese militias in the country.

Netanyahu Indicates Hamas May Lower Ceasefire Demands
Renewed Talks Could Lead to Hostage Release as International Mediation Efforts Intensify.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicated a possible breakthrough in negotiations with Hamas for the release of 101 hostages still held in Gaza. Speaking with Likud members in a closed meeting at the Knesset on Monday, Netanyahu suggested that Hamas might be willing to drop some of its demands for a ceasefire deal. “Hamas is putting forward conditions that we can’t agree to,” Netanyahu stated, “but it now seems those conditions could be rescinded.” He noted that any retraction of demands would likely be motivated by a temporary pause in hostilities, which could allow Hamas fighters to leave their fortified tunnels in Gaza. Netanyahu’s remarks were later leaked to the media, amplifying hopes that a deal for hostage release might soon be within reach.
Israel seeking peace deals with Arab countries – Netanyahu
The prime minister plans to expand the Abraham Accords after resolving the conflicts with Hamas and Hezbollah
Israel plans to pursue peace agreements with Arab countries after its military goals are achieved in Gaza and Lebanon, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the country’s parliament, the Knesset, on Monday. Netanyahu made the remark days after Israel launched a flurry of strikes on Iranian military facilities on Saturday, in retaliation for Tehran’s missile barrage on the Jewish state earlier this month. Iran cited a string of assassinations of senior Hezbollah officials, including longtime leader Hassan Nasrallah, as the reason for the attack.
How the Houthis grew to be a global threat – report
Analysts warn that the Houthis are gaining legitimacy and allies through the Israel-Hamas war
The Houthis have made gains from inserting themselves into the Israel-Hamas war, analysts in a report from The Wall Street Journal claim. While Israel’s attacks during the widening war have mostly been targeting Hamas and Hezbollah leadership, the Houthis, in contrast, have so far avoided a similar fate. They’ve launched drones and missiles over 80 vessels in the Red Sea since the war’s start, successfully snagging global trade and increasing global shipping costs. Analysts the report cited claim that the Houthis have “renewed domestic and regional legitimacy” by aligning themselves with Gaza.
Warships From One of NATO’s Top Navies Take Long Way Home From Asia to Avoid Running Into Houthis
The Yemeni militia’s campaign to shut Israeli and Israel-allied merchant shipping out of the Red Sea through hijackings, missile and drone attacks has spooked insurers, added billions to global shipping costs, and prompted Washington and Brussels to assemble two separate coalitions to try to deal with the problem.
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius ordered the German Navy’s Baden-Wurttemberg frigate and Frankfurt-am-Main auxiliary replenishment ship to take the long way home back to Germany after the end of their deployment in the Indo-Pacific.
US Coast Guard To Expand Presence, Cooperation In Indo-Pacific Amid China Concerns

The head of state emphasized that Ukraine must be strengthened before any negotiations. According to him, Kyiv is ready for Russia to participate in a second peace summit, but for that, there must be a peace plan. A plan involving countries of the Global South is also necessary.
Georgian president refuses to back up election theft claims
Salome Zourabichvili has accused the ruling party of rigging Saturday’s parliamentary vote
Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili has refused to be interviewed by the prosecutor general’s office about her claims of election fraud, arguing that investigators should look for evidence themselves. Zourabichvili has joined several pro-Western opposition parties in accusing the ruling Georgian Dream party of “stealing” Saturday’s parliamentary vote, without providing specific examples.

With The Election Just A Week Away, MSM Readers And Staff Are Going To War With Outlet Owners Over Decisions Being Made About Refusal To Endorse Kamala Harris
One week left until the presidential election day, and I sit here surrounded by boxes that still need unpacking, but I am happy to be back behind the keyboard for an election-related piece, but the focus is on the manner the media is handling this election in contrast to prior elections and how MSM readers and staff are going to war with outlet owners over decisions being made about coverage.
Not all of the media as many papers are endorsing a presidential candidate, but the Washington Post and LA times, just to name two, have decided to no longer endorse presidential candidates, and a recent op-ed by Washington Post’s owner, billionaire Jeff Bezo’s tells a story of making the right decision for all the wrong reasons.
8 Major Election Developments That Everyone Needs To Know About
Can you believe that we are less than a week away from Election Day? Over 57 million Americans have already voted, and in some states more than half of the total expected vote is already in.
So it may already be too late for a last minute surprise to alter the outcome of the election. In 2020, Democrats absolutely dominated the early voting period, but in 2024 things are very close between Democrats and Republicans. Is this an indication that a “red landslide” is coming, or are Republicans simply shifting votes that would have been cast on Election Day into the early voting period? We will soon find out. In any event, the following are 8 major election developments that everyone needs to know about…

Dominion Voting Machines NATIONWIDE Are Experiencing ‘Programming Issues.’
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is warning voters that a Dominion voting machine model in use in many of the state’s counties is erroneously preventing voters from casting split-ticket ballots. According to Benson, the error is impacting specifically the Dominion ICX Voter Assist Terminal (VAT) system, which is offered to individuals with disabilities and assists with marking their ballots.
According to Benson, the Dominion machine has an issue processing certain types of ballots—namely those where a voter wishes to vote for a mix of Republican and Democratic Party candidates instead of a straight party line. The Michigan Secretary of State claims the problem with the VAT machine isn’t unique to Michigan, and ballot marking errors have been reported by election officials nationwide.

White House Security Advisor’s “Information Czar” Idea Triggers Free Speech Concerns
Amid escalating assertions over foreign influence in US elections, the White House is exploring a controversial proposal that some warn could threaten free speech and open debate.
National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan recently confirmed that the administration has been “grappling with and thinking about” the potential creation of an “information czar,” sparking concern over the government’s expanding role in controlling narratives under the guise of national security. Speaking at the National War College, Sullivan responded to a question about the potential for a centralized figure to oversee and counter foreign disinformation efforts by suggesting that while the idea has been under consideration, it could raise issues in a free society.
Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) Projects Are Foundering In Five-Eye Nations. What Gives?
Canada and Australia shelve plans for retail CBDCs while the US could soon become the first country to explicitly ban the central bank from issuing a CBDC.
As we warned in May 2022, a financial revolution is quietly sweeping the world (or at least trying to) that has the potential to reconfigure the very nature of money, making it programmable, far more surveillable and centrally controlled. To quote Washington DC-based blogger and analyst NS Lyons, “if not deliberately and carefully constrained in advance by law,… CBDCs have the potential to become even more than a technocratic central planner’s dream. They could represent the single greatest expansion of totalitarian power in history.”
Is Deepfake Detection Software Ready for Voice-enabled AI Agents?
OpenAI’s release of its real-time voice API has raised questions about how AI biometric voice technology might be used to supercharge phone scams.
Writing on Medium, computer scientist Daniel Kang notes that while AI voice applications have potentially useful applications such as voice-enabled autonomous customer service, “as with many AI capabilities, voice-enabled agents have the potential for dual-use.” Anyone with a phone knows how common phone scams are these days. Kang notes that, every year, they target up to 17.6 million Americans and cause up to $40 billion in damage.
Polish radio station FIRES presenters, replaces them with AI
OFF Radio Krakow in Poland has sparked outrage after firing several presenters and replacing them with artificial intelligence (AI) programmed to interview high-profile dead people using AI-generated responses.
On Oct. 22, OFF Radio Krakow launched its radical initiative featuring a simulated interview with the late poet Wieslawa Szymborska, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1996. The AI-hosted segment employed a computer-generated voice designed to mimic Szymborska’s tone as she “discussed” this year’s Nobel Prize in Literature following approval from the poet’s foundation.

Valencia devastated by catastrophic floods, as media remains tight-lipped
Spain’s Valencia region faces apocalyptic flooding, with flash floods claiming at least 63 lives and leaving rescue teams struggling against washed-out infrastructure. Despite the mounting crisis, media outlets have been criticized for downplaying the severity.
(SQAUK) — The Valencia region in Spain faces catastrophic floods, described by locals as “biblical,” due to unprecedented rainfall. These flash floods have tragically claimed at least 63 lives. Streets have been thoroughly washed away, cars are submerged, and communities remain isolated as emergency services urgently conduct rescue operations in these challenging conditions. Furthermore, the limited media coverage has exacerbated the situation, leaving many to assert that the gravity of this disaster is significantly undervalued on a global scale.
Asteroid discovered hours before striking Earth’s atmosphere
Astronomers managed to discover another asteroid just few hours before it struck Earth’s atmosphere.
According to reports, a space rock roughly three metres wide entered our planet’s atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean on Wednesday. According to NASA’s Center For Near Earth Object Studies data, the asteroid named 2024 UQ impacted the atmosphere about 1000 km from the California coast. Scientists had predicted that the energy released from the asteroid upon its atmospheric impact would have been less than the one that hit the Philippines sky earlier in September. Peter Brown, a meteor scientist at Western University in Ontario, said on X that the asteroid impact of the rock first observed by the ATLAS telescope in Hawaii.

An ex-Pentagon official, who gained fame for blowing the lid off a $22-million, secretive government UFO program, has revealed an image of an alleged UFO ‘mothership.’
Luis Elizondo, a career US Army counterintelligence specialist, previously ran the military’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. Monday night in Philadelphia at a private UFO event, Elizondo dropped what he described as a craft ‘looking like the mothership from “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,”‘ referring to the 1977 Steven Spielberg film. ‘Guess what we caught in Romania in 2022? By the way, the US Embassy,’ as Elizondo told attendees at the paid event, gesturing to the photo: ‘That.’ He went on to describe it as a ‘huge mini city floating in the sky.’
