Marco Rubio:

We have plenty of munitions to achieve our objectives in the case of Iran, but we are not only in Iran. We have obligations in the Indo-Pacific. We have obligations increasingly in the Southern Command.

Any part of the world where you go and tell them there are going to be five less American soldiers and two less planes, everybody freaks out.

Jared Kushner on Gaza:

Over the last decades, there’s been so many meetings on Gaza here at the United Nations.

And what we tried to do today was do something a little bit different. We didn’t talk about who was to blame. Nobody was blaming anyone.

People were just focused on solutions, not slogans, not political speeches.

🇻🇪 | URGENTE — Delcy Rodriguez anuncia que habrá elecciones en Venezuela.

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Trump told Venezuela’s Delcy Rodriguez that the country ultimately needs to hold elections, but did not press for a specific date during their first meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.

Some officials believe 2028 may be more realistic, though a 2027 vote remains possible.

Trump told Rodriguez: “You have to have elections at the end of the day.”

Marco Rubio on Gaza:

Ultimately, the way Gaza gets solved is a Gaza that’s free of Hamas, governed by Palestinian leadership that’s reflective of its people.

.@SecScottBessent: With Operation Economic Outcast, we are squeezing the Iranians like they've never seen. Today, 80-90% of external flights from Iran got shut down as the economic pressure continues to mount.

[Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent @SecScottBessent]

Today in Washington, Vice Premier He Lifeng and I held substantive discussions on the U.S.-China economic relationship ahead of President Trump’s meeting with President Xi. Our discussions continued to focus on securing meaningful commitments that protect American workers, farmers, and businesses while advancing U.S. economic and national security interests.

🚨 NOW: Chinese President Xi Jinping is MOTORCADING through Washington, DC, as President Trump did NOT invite him onto Marine One

This is EASILY the largest motorcade I’ve EVER seen here in DC

Many roads in DC are TOTALLY shut down for security purposes

DC traffic will be a nightmare these next few days 😂

🇦🇷 Javier Milei, président de l’Argentine, depuis la tribune de l’ONU :

« Ceux qui prétendent être les défenseurs des droits de l’homme ont défendu des dictatures assoiffées de sang et des régimes qui lapident des femmes dans les rues.

Ils ont systématiquement voté contre Israël, tout en gardant le silence face au terrorisme islamiste et au génocide des chrétiens en Afrique. »

Ambiance détendue, Donald Trump arrive à faire sourire Xi Jinping et même son traducteur.
C’est une rencontre HISTORIQUE.

[Jon De Lorraine @jon_delorraine]

🔴🇺🇸🤝🇨🇳 Donald Trump a accueilli Xi Jinping aux États-Unis pour une visite d’État de trois jours.

Fait particulièrement rare : le président américain s’est déplacé en personne à la base militaire de Joint Base Andrews, dans le Maryland, pour accueillir son homologue chinois à son arrivée.

Les deux dirigeants doivent ensuite se retrouver à la Maison-Blanche pour des discussions centrées notamment sur le commerce, les droits de douane, les terres rares, l’intelligence artificielle, Taïwan et l’Iran.

Une cérémonie d’État et un dîner officiel sont également prévus jeudi à Washington.

Une rencontre particulièrement scrutée entre les dirigeants des deux premières puissances économiques mondiales, alors que leurs relations oscillent toujours entre coopération économique et rivalité stratégique.

The Houthis claim Saudi Arabia carried out 52 airstrikes and missile strikes across Yemen over the past 24 hours.

They say F-15s, Typhoons and missiles targeted Hodeidah, Taiz, Al-Bayda, Marib and Saada.

The Houthis claim the strikes damaged communications networks, bridges and roads.

Reports just earlier of an explosion in the Strait of Hormuz felt in both Qeshm and Bandar Abbas, Iran. Iran has targeted at least two vessels in the strait in just as many days.

Very short AA activity in western Tehran, near the Mehrabad Airport, highly likely a test.

🚨Reuters reports that U.S. officials at the American Embassy in Jerusalem and in Washington drafted a document in early September for Secretary of State Marco Rubio that sharply criticized plans by Britain, France, and Canada to ban imports from Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

Rubio later publicly warned that such measures could destabilize the West Bank and said the United States would not join the import bans.

[Conflict Radar @Conflict_Radar]

Israeli security sources told Channel 13:

"Netanyahu is leaving Israel tonight and arriving in New York in the morning, and will return tomorrow evening.

Netanyahu will not spend a single night in New York for security reasons".

Rubio and Russia's Lavrov meeting in New York. Underway now.

Marco Rubio:

Iranians and their proxies attacked diplomatic facilities — unheard of. They bombed our embassy in Kuwait.
