Under pressure from Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Trump administration may be within days of launching a nuclear strike on Iran. The target would be Pickax Mountain in central Iran, where Israeli intelligence claims the Iranian government has restarted its nuclear enrichment program. No conventional weapon in the American arsenal can penetrate 300 feet of solid granite to destroy the tunnels where enrichment is supposedly taking place. The only military option is a nuclear strike. Netanyahu has been pushing hard for one. “Bibi calls Trump about it every day,” says an informed observer.

Netanyahu is cornered and desperate. After last week’s election results, he can’t form a government unless Trump intervenes directly in Israeli politics and brokers a deal with other parties that gives Netanyahu 61 seats in the Knesset. Otherwise, he is out as prime minister and on his way to ignominy, investigations and possibly jail. Netanyahu must stay close to Trump. He needs this war.

To that end, he’s applied maximum pressure to his closest allies in the administration, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper. Both oppose a negotiated settlement to the war they’ve so grievously mismanaged; both are pushing to restart major combat operations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA director John Ratcliffe are also following Netanyahu’s lead, as are leaders of the Democratic Party. In a recent meeting on the subject, former president Barack Obama said he opposes the current Iran peace deal being drafted in Doha.

The rest of America’s longtime allies in the Middle East are terrified by the prospect of more war. On September 27th, Netanyahu flew secretly to Abu Dhabi to enlist the UAE in his lobbying effort for a final attack on Iran. The Emiratis refused. After eight months of conflict, Gulf economies are teetering. So are global energy and fertilizer markets. They won’t recover soon. Globally, there are a total of about 850 supertankers used to transport oil from producers to the rest of the world. In October alone, 11 of them were badly damaged in Hormuz. At this pace, a global depression is imminent. A nuclear strike would radically accelerate the destruction. Fallout from a ground explosion at Pickax Mountain would contaminate the Persian Gulf, poisoning the water supply for 100 million people.

And those are just some of the immediate consequences for the region. The rest of the world is every bit as exposed. No country other than the United States has ever used a nuclear weapon in war. Some would like to. An American nuclear attack on Iran would set a new precedent. The Russians have already told at least two other governments that an American nuclear strike on Iran would free them to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine. Pakistan and India would be tempted to do the same against each other, as would North Korea against Seoul. After the first nuclear strike, World War Three is inevitable. That war would be short and final.

We’ve been sleepwalking toward this moment for months. Since February, the administration has quietly rewritten America’s nuclear doctrine to make first use of so-called “battlefield nukes” easier and therefore more likely. No one in Washington in either party seems bothered by this. Now we’re on the brink of it.

Close observers say Trump is likely to decide by next weekend whether or not to use nuclear weapons. That would be November 7, six days from now. To his credit, he’s hesitating. At the moment, Trump is listening to his vice president, JD Vance, and to his envoy and friend Steve Witkoff, both of whom argue a deal with Iran can be made.

They’re right, though it won’t be simple. The Iranians are famously frustrating to negotiate with under any circumstances, and elements of that government have become more radical since Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his family were killed in February. After decades of isolation, even relatively moderate Iranian leaders seem confused by how decisions are made in the West. (There is a widespread belief in Tehran, for example, that the United States government controls Israel.) But overall, people who have spoken to decision-makers in Iran say there is consensus there that more war is bad for everyone and a deal is worth making.

One group that hasn’t been consulted so far is the global population — the hundreds of millions of people who will be killed along with their children if Trump is pushed by Netanyahu into launching a nuclear strike next week. Now would be the time for them to speak up.

@SGT_Decker These are illegal Jewish settlers in turmusayya. Their illegal settlement is right at the edge of the village. They constantly infiltrate the village and wreak havoc. Stay in your lane, Decker.

[Elias Hassan @rus_hassan]

@DerrickEvans4WV This is not the first incident. In April of this year, an American family’s home in the same village was subjected to a similar attack. Despite multiple attempts to contact the U.S. ambassador, the family received no response. He doesn’t care about American Palestinians.

[Elias Hassan @rus_hassan]

@GovMikeHuckabee Mr. Ambassador, you are a liar. We have contacted you multiple times over a similar incident to our family home in Turmusayya.
Settlers vandalized and burned our home and you did nothing about it. You ignored our emails and attempts at contact, and we have proof.

Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, in today's Sept 21 anniversary speech, on the Saudi claim to Mecca:

"We do not consider Mecca a Saudi emirate. We consider it a sacred site for all Muslims equally."

Then the history the royal title buries: the Saudis did not inherit Mecca, they conquered it. In 1924 Ibn Saud's Ikhwan stormed Taif and massacred its residents -- women and children included -- then took Mecca, ending Hashemite custodianship of the holy sites.

Al-Houthi's charge is that the genocide runs from that day to this:

"Since his emergence and his occupation of Mecca, he has committed in Mecca the most horrific crimes, and these are historical facts. ... Three thousand unarmed pilgrims, whom he completely exterminated -- from Yemen, from the Yemeni people -- and this Saudi still bears responsibility for it."

"And despite that, he is the one who handed the kiswa of the Kaaba to the criminal Jewish infidel Jeffrey Epstein, to make part of the kiswa a carpet trodden under his shoes, and part of it an object of desecration in his satanic rituals."

“Do You Support Israel’s Right to Exist?” Mehdi Hasan FIRES BACK

Mehdi Hasan: I've been debating hardcore Zionists, Israeli supporters of Israel, for years. And the conversation always comes back to one talking point:

“Do you, or do you not support Israel’s right to exist?”

If you don't, you're an extremist, you're an anti-Semite, you want to wipe Israel and millions of Israeli Jews off the map.

But you don't have to concede on this point. It's a bullshit argument.

Number one: Right to exist where?

Israel is the only country in the world that refuses to define its borders.

So if you want me to recognize Israel's right to exist, does that extend into Gaza, the West Bank, the Golan Heights, East Jerusalem all considered illegally occupied territory under international law?

So, right to exist where?

Number two: What is this right to exist? Where does it come from?

States don't have a right to exist. People, individuals have a right to exist. Human beings have that right. Not states, not countries.

The USSR broke up into Russia and 14 other states. Yugoslavia broke up. Czechoslovakia split into Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
What happened to their “right to exist”?
People have rights, not states.

And number three: If there is a right to exist, does Palestine have a right to exist?
Israel exists. It's a country with sovereignty, it's on the map.

The idea that in a world where Israel is genociding the Palestinians in Gaza, ethnically cleansing them in the West Bank, and blocking their legal right to return the idea that Israel's right to exist is the one we should be concerned about, and not Palestine's, is both ridiculous and, let's be honest, racist.

Unwind from what? Sleeping in?

[Murray Rothbard @MurraySuggests]

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

WHITE HOUSE UNVEILS TRUMP’S PLAN TO END GAZA WAR

The White House outlined President Trump’s proposal for an immediate ceasefire and a political path forward:

🔸 Peace framework: U.S. to broker dialogue between Israel and Palestinians for long-term coexistence.

🔸 Hostages & prisoners: All hostages (alive and deceased) to be returned within 72 hours of Israel’s acceptance; in return, Israel to release 250 life-sentence prisoners and 1,700 detainees.

🔸 Ceasefire terms: All military operations suspended; IDF withdrawal tied to demilitarization milestones.

🔸 Gaza’s future: To become a “deradicalized, terror-free zone” under temporary Palestinian technocratic governance with international stabilization forces.

🔸 Hamas role: No role in Gaza governance; members who disarm may receive amnesty or safe passage abroad.

🔸 Aid & rebuilding: Immediate humanitarian aid, unrestricted distribution through the UN/Red Crescent, creation of a Special Economic Zone, and a Trump-led economic development plan to rebuild Gaza.

🔸 Guarantees: Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza; residents remain free to stay, leave, or return.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Israel has such complete surveillance and control of Gaza's communications networks that it can commandeer them to force their phones to broadcast Netanyahu's speech, but Israel had no clue that Hamas was planning an operation as large as Oct 7 and it then took hours to respond?
