⚡️🇮🇷🇺🇸 — Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Mohsen Rezaei:
The war on Iran has already wrecked the US government. But Washington flails like a desperate gambler. FOLD YOUR HAND. STOP manufacturing FAKE NEWS about imaginary talks. Stop denying the West Asian NEW ORDER. Time to SURRENDER to the seven conditions Iran has repeatedly set out.
⚡️🇺🇸🇻🇪 — U.S President Trump:
So we had two wars, we had Venezuela which was over in 48 minutes and we lost no soldiers and we're taking in billions and billions of dollars a day.
And we paid for that war and many times over. And we're getting along very well with government, we're much in charge, we're totally in charge.
And getting along well and the Venezuela people love us because we're bring the big oil companies are in there now, they're taking in a lot of money.
They're seeing more money now than they've ever seen before.
⚡️🇺🇸🇶🇦🇮🇷 — President Trump via Truth Social:
I had an excellent conversation with Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, the Prime Minister of Qatar, wherein much was discussed with respect to the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Most importantly, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, and others, would prefer the status quo, in other words, a continuation of the Greatest Naval Blockade in History, and the new Operation Iron Gate — Therefore, Land and Sea. All have agreed that Iran cannot have a Nuclear Weapon — That is non-negotiable!
Should there be any change with respect to developments in the Middle East, the United States of America is “locked and loaded” and ready to go. At this point, however, that seems to be quite unlikely. Israel, and the entire Middle East, are protected from Iranian danger and threats.
We are seeing positive momentum toward an end to this Conflict, and will ensure that America’s interests are at all times protected.
At the conclusion of this Military Engagement, the American People, and the World, will be far safer and more secure.
⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷🇶🇦🇸🇦 — President Donald Trump told Reuters in a brief phone interview on Monday that Qatar and Saudi Arabia are eager for a peaceful resolution to the Iran conflict, but the United States is ready to resume military strikes if necessary.
Trump, who met Qatar's prime minister earlier on Monday, said "Qatar would rather see a peaceful solution" but that "we're ready to go anytime we want" with strikes against Iran.

⚡️🇮🇱🇮🇷 — NEW: Israeli police and the Shin Bet are investigating QR-coded leaflets found in mailboxes across northern Tel Aviv.
The codes redirect to a website titled "A Warning from the Handala Team," an Iran-affiliated hacking group. The site features a message in broken Hebrew threatening to destroy power stations, oil refineries, and desalination plants if Israel attacks the "Resistance Front's energy infrastructure."
The message warned: "From south to north, your energy and water lifelines will be shattered like glass." It concluded with an ultimatum: "The choice is yours: wisdom, or drowning in darkness and the silence of catastrophe."
Police have collected the leaflets as evidence, with the Shin Bet assisting in the ongoing investigation.

I spoke with Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi narendramodi and briefed him on the latest diplomatic developments. We are actively preparing on every item on the agenda for the meeting in Abu Dhabi. Ukraine has always taken a constructive approach, and Russia must show the same readiness to de-escalate.
The Prime Minister has said more than once, including directly to the Russian leader, that now is the time to end the war, not to continue it.
It is important that India identify what steps it can take and what dialogue it can pursue with other leaders to help bring the war to an end. Food security could be one such area. We discussed Russia's blocking of grain exports via the Black Sea. India is ready to mediate in establishing food corridors, and we are counting on these efforts to continue.
Russia must understand that the global economy and hundreds of millions of people around the world are suffering because of blocked sea routes. We agreed that our teams will stay in touch on these and other bilateral issues.

⚡️🇮🇷🇺🇸 — Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei stated Tehran’s two-day proposal remains on the table as a time-bound roadmap for Strait of Hormuz and Persian Gulf security, requiring genuine US political will. He mandated that all transiting vessels coordinate with Iranian authorities for safety and ruled out new negotiations without ending the war, lifting the naval blockade, releasing frozen assets, and removing recent sanctions. — Tasnim
Baghaei claimed Washington previously accepted these terms under the 14-point Islamabad understanding before unilaterally reneging, adding Iran demonstrated good faith and maintains consultations with mediators Pakistan and Qatar.
➡️ On the US elections, Baghaei attributed public discontent with the governing establishment to warmongering, alignment with Israel, and domestic neglect, accusing US politicians of appropriating and distorting that protest message. He stressed Tehran does not equate leadership changes with policy shifts, basing its assessment solely on Washington’s actions regarding Iranian national interests and security.
➡️ Baghaei denied suspending nuclear commitments, arguing US-Israeli strikes on nuclear facilities obstructed normal safeguards and prevented prior cooperation levels. He accused the IAEA Board of Governors and Director General of failing legal duties over the attacks, while noting ongoing professional communications and citing a recent Bushehr nuclear plant inspection as proof of regulated cooperation.
➡️ Dismissing recent allegations as Israeli fabrications, Baghaei asserted treaty obligations and religious principles preclude WMD use, invoking Iran's victimhood from Western-supplied, including German, chemical weapons under Saddam Hussein and accusing the US and Israel—a non-signatory to all WMD-ban treaties—as principal perpetrators.

And billions of dollars. So that's one.
And the other is Iran, and Iran militarily is effectively over.
Uh, we're just keeping at the status quo and we're doing that really at the behest of countries that are their neighbors. But it's a failing country.
It's got 301% inflation. It's got uh problems like you don't want even think about.
They're not paying their military. They're not paying their guard.
Their navy is gone. Their air force is gone.
They have 158 ships, they're underwater. They have 268 planes that are scattered all over the runways of Iran.
So their military is essentially gone, their manufacturing capability is reduced to about... They can still make some limited numbers of missiles and drones.
But it's basically about 85% gone. And they're talking to us, and they're talking very polite.
Then we'll see what happens, but there's a good chance that that could get uh ended so at the conclusion of the military engagement, the American people and the people of the world will be far safer and more secure than they've been in many, many years because Iran was killing many people.
You know, that war was started in 1979. We didn't start the war, they did.
Even if you go back to the US embassy hostage crisis, that was there, that was their situation and a lot of people were killed, a lot of American people were killed, a lot of people throughout the world were killed.
And if you go back just over the last seven or eight months, 75,000 at a minimum protesters have been killed.
So it's a nasty place, but uh we think that it's in pretty good shape.
We'll see what happens. I don't guarantee anything, but if we do have to go back in, we are locked and loaded and ready to go.
With that being said.

⚡️🇪🇺🇮🇷 — EU High Representative Kaja Kallas has stated that the bloc is preparing a strong response to the recent cyberattacks on European commercial refrigeration systems, which France has formally attributed to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), according to Politico.
➡️ French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot confirmed on Monday at the G7 meeting in Paris that the IRGC's cyber unit, Shahid Kaveh, was responsible for the "unprecedented" attack that disabled fridges and freezers at 700 food distribution sites across France. Barrot stated: "We will implement sanctions at the European level against all those responsible for this attack," adding that it represents a major threat to French national interests and "will not go unanswered".
➡️ Kallas noted the EU only recently learned of the attribution and announced that EU foreign ministers will discuss the matter in depth at the Foreign Affairs Council on Monday, November 16. "If these cyber incidents are being attributed to someone, our response must also be firm," she said, warning that Europe's response "should be strong".
➡️ The coordinated attacks occurred on October 11-12, with hackers overriding temperature controls to trigger abnormal defrost cycles, causing around 20 fires and destroying food supplies. A subsequent attack on November 2 impacted grocery stores in Sweden, Belgium, and Luxembourg, and even hit French blood banks, forcing staff to relocate donated blood.
➡️ In response to the attacks, the European Commission convened coordination meetings on November 3 with Europol, ENISA, and EU-CyCLONe. The Paris prosecutor's office has opened an investigation targeting the head of the IRGC-linked cyber unit.

⚡️🇫🇷🇮🇷 — France has formally accused Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of carrying out the cyberattacks that disrupted supermarket refrigerators and freezers across the country last month, Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot announced at a news conference on Monday, according to the BBC, the Guardian, and Reuters.
➡️ Barrot described the incident as "unprecedented in both its scale and its level of aggression," confirming that the attack was carried out by the IRGC. He stated that France would "implement sanctions at the European level against all those responsible for this attack." The Paris prosecutor's office has separately opened an investigation into the head of an offensive cyber unit associated with the IRGC.
➡️ The cyberattack occurred overnight between October 11 and 12, with hackers overriding the temperature controls on commercial refrigeration units in hundreds of establishments. Some refrigerators were turned up so high that they caught fire, spoiling fresh and frozen food estimated to be worth millions of euros, with total costs potentially reaching tens of millions nationwide. Experts noted the attack appeared easy to pull off because many units were obsolete or running outdated firmware.
➡️ The incident was followed by a second wave of hacking this month that hit more than 100 establishments across Europe, even affecting refrigerators used by French blood banks. A similar incident in August affected refrigerators at U.S. military commissaries, and the Pentagon is treating those malfunctions as a suspected cyberattack, considering Iran a suspect. Iran has not yet responded to Barrot's allegations.
