🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 U.S. CENTCOM has carried out new strikes on Iran’s Qeshm Island.

Iranian state media report loud explosions in both Qeshm and Bandar Abbas moments ago, while footage circulating online shows plumes of smoke rising from the island.

📝 Anon: Pretty sure that what's going on around the Strait over the past few weeks is the Iranians are stepping up attacks on US aircraft and CENTCOM's rules of engagement (ROE) says they can respond to being fired upon by firing back at the specific Iranian SAM site that targeted them. Not much of an escalation by either side.

This is why I think it's weird that people keep saying "why doesn't Iran respond" when the inciting incident in each case appears to be Iran blowing Reapers out of the sky and targeting US fighter aircraft and helicopters.

The war never ended, it morphed into a low-scale, low-intensity conflict over the Hormuz as the U.S. and Israel couldn't keep up a large scale bombing campaign without risking their own destruction.

🇺🇸✡️🗳 House Democrats are facing a wave of calls urging them to reject Hakeem Jeffries as speaker despite the party’s landslide election victory.

Some lawmakers report receiving more than 500 calls, while a petition opposing Jeffries has gathered nearly 900,000 signatures.

One Democrat said, “It's our No. 1 issue, and it's not close,” while another reported that “lots of people are saying make Jamie Raskin speaker.”

Progressive activists oppose Jeffries over his pro-Israel ties and perceived lack of resistance to Trump.

However, Jeffries remains the overwhelming favorite, with one senior progressive putting the chances of his defeat at “0.0%.”

🌏📝 The Post Pax Americana Interregnum is here and this is what it looks like — Intellinews

We have been arguing this year that the result of the East-West clash and the “rise of the rest” from the Global South in general, and the Ukraine war in particular, has led to an end of the unipolar “rules-based” order and ushered in a multipolar world.

Just how badly those rules are being eroded in the West was demonstrated by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky decision to bring treason charges on November 4 against Iuliia Mendel, Zelensky’s former press secretary, while all of his best friends have been charged with stealing tens of millions of dollars – during a war – and remain untouched. Likewise, Latvia’s decision to PNG journalist and IntelliNews columnist Leonid Ragozin is a repressive move that Russian President Vladimir Putin would be proud of.

From this perspective Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping have already won in their face off with Washington and Brussels. Now Putin needs to get his war done, and with Kiev now entirely blacked out as Russian missiles very effectively target substations to destroy the links to the three remaining nuclear power stations, that is looking increasingly likely. The upcoming meeting in Abu Dhabi will be very interesting indeed.

One of the classic features of an interregnum is political and trade chaos. But in this modern version it has a new dimension: hackers and greed.

Two big banks have gone bust in the last two weeks: Alta Banka collapsed in the days after the Serbian electoral revolution that ousted Serbian President Aleksander Vučić that held pretty much all the accounts of Russians living there. The owners tried to escape to Moscow, but authorities forced their plane to turn around and they are now in jail.

Then two days ago the Ueno bank in Paraguay blew up, holding 60% of all deposits in the country. The country is now on fire after demonstrations turned into riots. Some 3mn people don’t know how to pay for food today. And the pensioners are even worse off as with a $10,000 deposit insurance cap many will lose the bulk of their life savings.

However, even more worryingly, France's Credit Mutuel Arkea has confirmed that hackers used a supplier's platform to reach the bank and steal over a hundred million dollars. They got into the bank’s system and used its own system to transfer the money and turn it into crypto which immediately disappeared. This comes on top of North Korean hackers stealing a mind boggling $6bn from Binance, the world’s biggest crypto-exchange.

This is the downside from the AI revolution. Previously, hackers used their nous and superior knowledge of coding to get into your machine. Now they have a tool that can win a Fields Medal to solve never solved before Millenium Prize maths problems. Hybrid attacks as the tectonic geopolitical tension shifts so rapidly they are literally “earthquakes” in their own spheres has already seen a rapid rise in hybrid attacks that are a new feature of an interregnum. Bomb threats hit about 20 flights across Europe on November 5, the third wave in four days, forcing diversions to France, Bulgaria and Austria, but searches found no explosives. Multiple supermarket freezers were turned off this week, causing the food to spoil. And in a really bizarre one, hackers targeted blood banks in France, attempting to raise plasma freezer temperatures to a boiling 110°C – what freezer even has a 110°C setting?!

As part of the same interregnum story, democracy is falling apart. We have already written extensively about how the boomerang effect of sanctions is causing an economic crisis in Europe, that has led to the rise of the right, but it has also now wrecked the US and the consequences for the midterm rout of the Republicans will have big consequences for trade, the wars and geopolitical relations. As we have written before, the Washington consensus that underpinned the rules-based order, is giving away to the Moscow consensus, where government’s put the fate of the state ahead of individual freedoms. Serbia just went in the other direction, but across Europe it’s clearly headed right to a nationalist populist model that is fragmenting the EU – another classic interregnum phenomena.

I suspect that the US will now get bogged down in a warring deadlock between the Democrat Houses and a lame duck Trump, who will focus more on foreign policy as that is the only thing he still controls. He will also use his standard tactic of trying to overwhelm the checks and balances system by issuing so many executive orders (decrees) that Congress’ legal machine to counter them can’t keep up. This was how he defeated media scrutiny when he was campaigning: he said so many bonkers things the media didn’t have enough time to debunk them before he said something else equally outrageous.

Given the new team on the Capitol doesn’t take over until January 3, Putin has one last window to leverage his hold over Trump to force Zelensky to capitulate. Ukraine is currently facing Zelensky’s worst nightmare and I don’t think the coverage is panicking enough. Putin threatened to open Pandora’s box after Ukraine hit the Wildberries warehouse in July and he has done just that with the snows about a month away or less. We always knew exactly what was going to happen – and now it's happening. To take one example, Kiev is now in total darkness. Only a month ago the assessment was that thanks to Russian attacks there would be 8 hours of blackouts a day; currently there are 17 hours, just one hour away from the worst case scenario, and Kiev’s mayor Klitschko said yesterday soon the blackouts will be “complete”. Without ammo there is nothing Zelensky can do to stop this; the US offer to sell 500 interceptors – that won’t begin to arrive until 2030 – is a joke, a piece of propaganda to appease the pro-Ukraine lobby.

🛢🌍 Gulf of Guinea oil regains strategic appeal as global energy shocks mount – Carnegie

The Gulf of Guinea is regaining strategic importance as an alternative source of oil and gas for Western markets, with geopolitical turmoil, offshore discoveries and regulatory reforms reviving investor interest in West Africa, according to an analysis published by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

“West African energy production is suddenly strategic again,” Judd Devermont, a Carnegie nonresident scholar, and Gabrielle Posner of Fraym wrote in a November 5 analysis. They urged renewed US engagement with African producers amid disruptions linked to the US-Israel war with Iran and threats to Middle Eastern shipping routes.

The researchers recalled that the US National Intelligence Council projected in 2000 that West Africa could supply 25% of North American oil imports by 2015. Instead, West African crude and petroleum products accounted for less than 3% of US imports that year, as American shale production expanded and African investment faced regulatory and security obstacles.

The latest disruptions have revived the argument for diversifying energy supplies. International Energy Agency (IEA) Executive Director Fatih Birol has described the war as “the greatest energy security threat in history”. Carnegie estimates that the Gulf of Guinea, defined broadly to encompass much of Africa’s Atlantic coast, holds 4.5% of global oil reserves and 2.7% of gas reserves. Its location offers access to European and American markets without requiring shipments to transit Middle Eastern maritime chokepoints.

Much of the region’s crude is light and sweet, making it attractive to refiners, the researchers noted. Advances in seismic imaging and deepwater drilling have also opened previously difficult exploration areas, while licensing rounds are attracting interest in Benin, Cameroon, Gabon, Liberia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and other coastal states.

Devermont and Posner argued that the investment environment had improved since Washington last identified the region as a strategic energy frontier. Regulatory reforms and maritime security initiatives had contributed to what they described as “a more welcoming, and potentially more durable, operating environment”.

Nigeria’s 2021 Petroleum Industry Act established a new regulatory framework and commercialised the state oil company, while subsequent presidential directives introduced incentives for offshore investment. Shell took the final investment decision on the Bonga North deepwater development in December 2024. The project, which press reports valued at about $5bn, is expected to recover more than 300mn barrels of oil equivalent and reach peak output of 110,000 barrels per day (bpd).

ExxonMobil and its partners committed $1bn in July 2026 to the Usan offshore infill drilling project, which is expected to add up to 40,000 bpd of production. Jagir Baxi, chairman and managing director of ExxonMobil’s Nigerian affiliates, announced the investment at NOG Energy Week in Abuja on July 8, saying work on the block would begin the following month. The campaign will be Esso’s first drilling in Nigeria since 2016.

The offshore investment drive contrasts with international majors’ withdrawal from mature onshore and shallow-water assets. Shell completed the sale of its Nigerian onshore and shallow-water subsidiary to the Renaissance consortium in March 2025, while Seplat Energy acquired ExxonMobil’s shallow-water operations in December 2024. Nigerian companies now account for more than half of national oil production, while international majors increasingly concentrate investment in deepwater projects and gas.

Angola has pursued comparable reforms, transferring petroleum-sector regulatory responsibilities from state-owned Sonangol to the newly created National Agency for Petroleum, Gas and Biofuels (ANPG) in 2019 and introducing more predictable licensing rounds. Chevron announced an offshore oil and gas condensate discovery in Block 0 in August 2026 that remains subject to development assessment.

Mauritania has strengthened its investment framework following the 2015 discovery of the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim gas field, shared with Senegal. Elsewhere along Africa’s Atlantic coast, Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire and, farther south, Namibia have attracted exploration interest through major offshore discoveries, although projects remain at different development stages.

Maritime security cooperation has expanded alongside these investments. Six countries — Côte d’Ivoire, The Gambia, Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone — launched a Combined Maritime Task Force in June 2026 to coordinate responses to piracy and other maritime threats.

Competition from China presents another challenge for US investors. Chinese companies have expanded their involvement in African energy financing, infrastructure and engineering, particularly in Angola and Nigeria. Meanwhile, tightening emissions standards and uncertainty over long-term oil demand are increasing the commercial risks associated with new hydrocarbon developments.

🇮🇷🛰 Iran begins work on domestic satellite internet to rival Starlink

Iran has begun developing its own satellite internet service to rival Starlink, Supreme Council of Cyberspace secretary Mohammad Amin Aghamiri told state media, local tech website Zoomit reported on November 3.

Tehran is trying to shut a channel that has kept some Iranians online through this year's internet blackouts. A deputy communications minister warned in October that wider use of Starlink would be "the final nail in the coffin" of state control over cyberspace which has struggled with modern VPN systems beating its firewall.

Aghamiri, who also heads the National Centre for Cyberspace, said the council had put satellite internet on its agenda in 2021, with options to work with other countries or invest alone. The project had started and made progress but would take time, he said.

When asked whether it would be available soon, he said: "How soon is up to the responsible body to announce." He gave no timetable.

Iran had already disrupted Starlink, and the operator had since upgraded its system, Aghamiri said. "We are not idle here either," he said, adding that Iran had several counter-technologies it was ready to share with like-minded countries.

Foreign satellite providers must accept Iranian law and operate under the communications ministry or be blocked, he said. Iran has raised unlicensed Starlink use at the International Telecommunication Union and notified US and Norwegian regulators.
