President Trump says there’s three choices on the table for the war: “wiping Iran out,” “letting them rot economically” or “making a deal.”

The Islamic Republic appears deeply concerned that another major U.S.-Israeli strike campaign could begin at any moment. Internal reports say police stations, security buildings and military facilities across Tehran have been evacuated, with forces deployed into surrounding streets and major intersections.

Iran has launched a major mobilisation drive to train and arm volunteer civilians who would serve as part of state security under the Basij militia arm of the IRGC, sparking fears of renewed conflict with the US.

  • Iran warns against any new large-scale strikes by the United States and its allies saying it received information such a plan is being prepared.
  • Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf says Iran “must push the enemy back and deal devastating blows using our full military might” before any negotiations with the United States.
  • A Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen’s Houthis says it intercepted a ballistic missile aimed at Riyadh and foiled other attacks on the cities of Bish, Taif, Farasan, and Yanbu.

Iran sets terms for peace as Saudi forces foil Houthi attack on Riyadh

  • Iran’s security chief Moshen Rezaei tells Al Jazeera conditions for ending war – stopping attacks on all fronts, release of frozen Iranian funds, end of blockade – have been sent to US via mediator Qatar, and are awaiting a response from US President Donald Trump.
  • Yemen’s Houthis say attacked what they called “sensitive” sites in Riyadh with ballistic missiles, drones, in addition to an ARAMCO facility in Yanbu. Saudi Arabia has not yet confirmed these claims.
  • Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and his Pakistani counterpart, Ishaq Dar, stress “the importance of uninterrupted energy supplies and the safe passage of ships” during phone call.
  • Fighting between Yemen’s Houthi group and the Saudi-backed internationally recognised government intensifies, with battles reported east of Marib and around Taiz.

The Iran-backed Houthis are now threatening to strike Turkey and Pakistan if they intervene militarily in Yemen. Senior Houthi official Mohammed al-Bukhaiti warned both countries they would be struck with an “iron fist” if they enter the conflict.

Japan Mosque Visit on Instagram: 5-year-old children being taken to a mosque & made to perform Islamic prayers

A kindergarten in Kanazawa, Japan, came under fire after photos surfaced showing 5-year-old children being taken to a mosque and made to perform Islamic prayers.

The boys and girls entered the mosque through separate doors. The children were taught about Allah and Ramadan and were told why Muslims fast and pray. After that, all the children were made to face Mecca and pray together in Arabic. At the end, the children turned their heads to the right and left.

They were told that they were “greeting the angels watching over them.”

The school had posted the entire event and photos on its website and Instagram. When the incident surfaced on social media, it sparked debate and outrage across Japan.

This also concerned the children’s parents, as their 5-year-old children had been made to perform Islamic prayers, repeat Arabic words, and were told that angels were watching over them. Amid the growing controversy, the principal apologized and said that this would not happen again.

Iran-Backed Houthi Terrorists Attack Saudi Cities; Women and Children Injured

The Iran-backed Houthi insurgents of Yemen launched drone and missile attacks against four cities in southern Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, injuring at least 70 people and inflicting significant damage on Saudi oil facilities.

The Houthis claimed successful attacks on an air base in the Saudi city of Khamis Mushait, plus oil facilities in Abha, Najran, and Jazan. Jazan is a Red Sea port located near the Yemeni border that hosts one of the largest refineries in Saudi Arabia. The Jazan refinery was targeted by Houthi attacks several times in August.

Satellite photos showed smoke billowing from the refinery in Jazan and the oil distribution center in Abha, but few additional details about the strikes were released by the Saudi government.

The casualty count stood at 73 people injured as of late Tuesday morning, with no reported fatalities. Saudi officials said women and children were among the wounded.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi privately expressed support for the assassination of President Trump.

According to Iranian MP Mojtaba Zarei, Araghchi was asked during a closed National Security Commission meeting about killing Trump in retaliation and responded that whoever carries it out, “I will kiss his hand.”

The remarks come as Trump’s campaign of powerful economic sanctions and the naval blockade has shredded the Islamic Republic’s economic and strategic capacity, choking its oil lifeline and increasing pressure on a system already struggling to sustain itself and its proxies.

Araghchi is portrayed as part of the Islamic Republic’s so-called “moderate” faction, yet publicly he has dismissed threats to assassinate Trump as the rhetoric of “extremists.” There is no real moderate faction.

The distinction is fake. They serve the same Islamic Republic, defend the same system and only change their language depending on the audience.

Trump is winning the confrontation, and behind closed doors, an Iranian MP says the Islamic Republic’s supposed “moderate” foreign minister would celebrate his assassination.

Trump v Iran: Tehran should “put up the white flag of surrender”

Trump threatens to bomb Oman if it gets in way of Iran deal

Why has Trump threatened to bomb Oman – for a second time?

President Donald Trump threatened Monday to bomb Oman if it “gets in the way” of a US deal with Iran on the Strait of Hormuz and called for Tehran to surrender in a war that has become a growing political burden.

Control of the waterway, which Iran has effectively closed since the conflict began on February 28, remains at the heart of the deadlock between Tehran and Washington.

With whipsawing fuel prices and public opposition to the war weighing on Republicans ahead of November’s midterm elections, Trump has faced mounting pressure to end a stalemate that has dragged on for nearly six months.

“If Oman gets in the way, we’ll bomb the shit out of them,” Trump told Fox News journalist Trey Yingst, referring to ongoing talks between Oman and Iran on control of the strait, which lies between the two countries.

Oman, a US ally in the Gulf, has not publicly commented on Trump’s remarks.

Tehran and Muscat have been discussing for weeks future navigation arrangements through the route, and Iran’s foreign ministry said earlier Monday the two sides were working on a joint declaration.

The Islamic Invasion is Turning Europe into EUrabia

The elites are fully complicit in exchanging the natives for a Mohammedan proletariat.

Small-boat arrivals under new PM hit 3,000 in 22 days. The natives now have to fund these invaders. “Middle class areas will have to take in more migrants” “Everyone must do their part” Andy Burnham has said.

The boats have doubled in size now.

‘It’s Killing Your Country’: Trump Blasts Migrant ‘Invasion’ of Europe, Says He Told New UK Leader Burnham to Fix Borders

U.S. President Donald Trump blasted Europe’s ongoing migrant crisis Islamic invasion and its political leaders for doing nothing to stem it, as he revealed his recent discussion with new British Prime Minister Andy Burnham touched both on border control and the UK’s botched energy policy.

President Trump went on: “they’re coming from all over the world, they’re coming from Africa, they’re coming from South America, they’re coming from different parts of Asia. And they’re invading Europe, they’re invading Europe, it’s an invasion. And the UK is a prime suspect.”

Fact, not fun:

Qatar has poured billions into Western universities over the past two decades, more than any other foreign donor in history. That’s a funding pipeline, fully documented.

 In October 2009, it emerged in newspapers such as The Times, The Telegraph and the Daily Mail, that New Labour had engaged in intentional demographic genocide against ethnic British people for political gain. The Labour Party from 2001 onwards, set about a deliberate policy of encouraging mass third world immigration, to socially engineer a multicultural society.  Between 1997 and 2010 the Labour Party committed treason, by flooding mostly white working-class communities with around 3 million, largely third world aliens (half legal, half illegal).

The objective should not be destruction for its own sake or an agreement that trades substantial economic relief for temporary or unverifiable promises.

The objective should be to change Iran’s strategic calculation.

Iran must come to believe that each additional month of resistance will carry increasing cost, resulting in less revenue, fewer military options, greater isolation, diminished military capability, and a weaker negotiating position. At the same time, the United States should make clear that a verifiable agreement remains available if Iran abandons the behavior that created the crisis.

  • Iran’s foreign ministry says a deal with Oman on a route through the Strait of Hormuz is being “finalised”, but the US and Israel still pose a danger to ships in the vital waterway.
  • Yemen’s Houthis claim to have attacked a Saudi oil vessel in the Gulf of Aden, forcing it to turn around.
  • Iran’s deputy FM Kazem Gharibabadi says a final understanding between Iran and Oman on the Strait of Hormuz is “on the verge of being finalised”, with almost all matters resolved.
  • The US military says it has redirected a total of 48 vessels since declaring its naval blockade of Iran

Iran & Yemen: after 13 days of bombings, we’ve seen absolutely no progress…

Saudi Arabia, in coordination with the US, carried out strikes inside Iraq against armed groups with ties to Iran, after Riyadh accused the Iraqi groups of attacking its oil facilities.

Iran retains formidable control over the Strait of Hormuz, with shipping traffic reduced to almost nothing after 13 days of bombing and a settlement remains out of reach because neither side yet sees the conflict as ripe for diplomacy, according to Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft.

“After 13 days of bombings, we’ve seen absolutely no progress in the sense that ships will actually be going through the strait, or that the Iranians are losing control over it.”

China Demands Middle East Parties ‘Remain Calm’ as Houthis Threaten Its Oil Tankers

The Chinese Communist Party has historically supported Iranian interests in the Middle East and Iranian terrorist proxies such as Hamas. Communist leaders, including genocidal dictator Xi Jinping, have maintained a marked distance from Iran during the current conflict with the United States, however, repeatedly demanding that all sides of the war respect freedom of navigation in and around the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran’s terrorist Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have blockaded on and off since March. China is heavily dependent on the Middle East for its oil and other fossil fuel supplies, placing it in an especially vulnerable position despite not being an active combatant in the conflict.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry pronounced Beijing “deeply concerned” on Thursday over the ongoing war between Iran and its proxies and the United States in the Middle East, demanding all parties “remain calm.”
