'Hazardous waste' to ‘mission failed’: Iran mocks Trump as Democrats sweep the 2026 US midterms | WATCH

 
Democrats seized control of the US Congress on Tuesday (Nov 03), capturing both the Senate and the House in a stunning rejection of President Donald Trump's agenda. And Tehran, it seems, was watching with popcorn. Within hours of early results showing major Democratic gains, Iran's official channels on X were online, mocking the president with videos that spread fast across social media.

A dumpster, a flushed cap, and a falling president The most viral clip, posted November 4 on Iran's consular channel in India, is a short AI video that shows a limp, tired-looking Trump being carried out of a White House-like building by suited men and dumped into a large dumpster labelled "Hazardous Waste". The video had accumulated over 1.7 million views and tens of thousands of likes at the time of this report being published. (Read More)

Senior Researcher Brad Myers Comments,

Officials of the jihadist regime in Iran, which killed countless numbers of its own citizens in January 2026 and over the last 47 years, are rejoicing over the fact that Democrats seized control of the Senate and House in the 2026 midterm elections. One has to wonder how many Christians and Jews in the US actually voted for these socialist, anti-Semitic Democrats. How many Christians chose to sit out the election and not vote at all?

With these things in mind, look at what The Guardian is reporting on November 4, 2026: 

"Iran unveils ‘We will kill Trump’ banner – but US president may now be tempted to resume bombing'   'Iran celebrates its claimed role in ‘regime change’ amid pressure on Trump to ‘finish the job’ with attack'   Ehsan Movahedian, an international relations scholar, claimed: "The Islamic Republic of Iran has succeeded in regime change in America. The same will soon happen in Europe as well. Bow down before the power of Iran."

CNN on April 14, 2026, posted this headline:"Antisemitic violence worldwide in 2025 killed highest number of Jews in 30 years, study finds" 

On October 2, 2026, The Chicago Council on Global Affairs shared this information on American sentiment toward Israel:

"Once an enduring area of bipartisan consensus, American support for Israel has shifted dramatically in the three years since Hamas' October 7 attack on the country. Israel’s subsequent war in Gaza and its participation in the unpopular joint US-Israeli war against Iran have cooled American sentiment toward Israel to its lowest point in Chicago Council polling since 1978."

On November 3, 2026, the Middle East Forum published an article with the headline:

"Israel Remains the Most Hated—and the Most Optimistic—Country in the World"

Where are all these trends leading to in the future?

"For I will gather ALL THE NATIONS to battle against JERUSALEM; The city shall be taken, The houses rifled, And the women ravished. Half of the city shall go into captivity, But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.Then the Lord will go forth And fight against those nations, As He fights in the day of battle."(Zechariah 14:2-3 NKJV)

Jerusalem hospitals prepare shelters in parking lots ahead of possible Iran war

 
The northern Israeli city of Karmiel said Tuesday it had raised its security readiness and ordered inspections of all public shelters, citing media speculation about a possible new war. Separately, Sky News Arabia reported that hospitals in Jerusalem and other parts of Israel are converting parking lots into emergency facilities.

Karmiel’s municipality said in a statement that Mayor Moshe Koninsky had instructed the city’s security officer and security teams to raise readiness and check every public shelter.

The measures are meant to ensure the city can handle “any emergency scenario,” the statement said, citing “talk of war circulating in the media.”

The municipality stressed that there had been “no change in the instructions” of Israel’s Home Front Command, the military body responsible for civilian protection and public guidance during emergencies. That suggests the steps in Karmiel are precautionary and not a response to new official directives.

Hospital parking lots turned into emergency space

Sky News Arabia, citing its correspondent, reported that parking lots at most major hospitals in Israel are being cleared and converted into emergency departments.

In a separate urgent report, the channel said parking lots at hospitals in Jerusalem are being converted and equipped as shelters in anticipation of war with Iran. The reports did not specify which hospitals were affected or who ordered the work. (Read More)

Trump says Israel will stop receiving $4B in US aid by year's end, can still buy weapons

 
Netanyahu raised the idea, Trump says, arguing Israel is 'a very thriving country' that no longer needs it

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that U.S. aid to Israel would end at the close of the year, arguing that the country no longer needs the assistance and can purchase its own weapons.

"We were giving them $4 billion – we are – but it gets cut off at the end of the year," Trump told "Fox & Friends" on Tuesday in an Election Day morning announcement.

Trump acknowledged the political nature of the news, pointing to Michigan's battleground Senate race between Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers.

"Why should we suffer the slings from lunatics like an El-Sayed when they don't need it?" Trump said. "It's a bad talking point."

The support included "things and money," according to Trump, calling it military aid, cash or "barter." He said he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had discussed ending the assistance for years, adding that Netanyahu raised the idea. (Read More)

El-Sayed, whom Jewish Republicans call ‘most antisemitic’ Senate candidate, wins Michigan race

 

“They try to call you ‘hateful’ if you believe that Palestinian kids should get to grow up in the land of their forefathers,” Dr. Abdul El-Sayed said.

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the Democrat whom the Republican Jewish Coalition has called “the most antisemitic U.S. Senate candidate in America,” defeated former Republican congressman Mike Rogers early on Wednesday morning in one of the country’s most closely watched Senate races, particularly for Jews and Zionists.

The Associated Press called the race at 2:27 a.m. on Wednesday. With more than 95% of votes counted, El-Sayed routed Rogers by seven points, with 2,497,852 votes (52.5%) to the Republican’s 2,162,890, or 45.5%.

A former Detroit health director, El-Sayed will succeed retiring Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), becoming the first Muslim elected to the Senate.

His victory follows a bitter campaign, in which he called Israel’s government “bloodthirsty” and “as evil as Hamas,” suggested that a terrorist who attacked a Michigan synagogue had been driven by Israeli military actions in Lebanon because “hurt people hurt people” and campaigned with antisemitic streamer Hasan Piker, who said that “America deserved 9/11.”

He has called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a war criminal, accused Israel of buying U.S. Jewish support and opposed the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s working definition of antisemitism.

On Oct. 26, Rebellion PAC released an advertisement supporting El-Sayed that blamed rising grocery costs on U.S. military aid to Israel.

Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO and national director of the Anti-Defamation League, called the as “a case study in antisemitism.” El-Sayed’s campaign said it had no affiliation with the advertisement but initially stopped short of condemning its content.

On Nov. 1, Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.), whom El-Sayed narrowly defeated in the Democratic primary in August, endorsed Rogers, citing El-Sayed’s rhetoric about Israel and his association with Piker.

Her endorsement drew criticism from Democratic leaders, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), who called it “a despicable betrayal.”

Despite the controversies surrounding him, a survey commissioned by the Jewish Majority found that 57% of Jewish early voters in Michigan supported El-Sayed.

The survey of 482 Jewish voters, 75% of whom identified as Democrats or leaned Democratic, was conducted between Oct. 25 and 31, before Stevens endorsed Rogers. It had a large margin of error.

El-Sayed substantially underperformed among those surveyed compared with other Democrats on the ballot. Democratic gubernatorial nominee Jocelyn Benson received support from 78%.

Rogers received 36% of the Jewish early vote, according to the survey, while 4% supported other candidates. (Source)Email

3,500 Hezbollah terrorist sites destroyed in eight months

 
After eight months of operations in the Wadi Saluki, Qantara, and Litani areas, troops from the IDF's 7th Brigade have completed their mission in southern Lebanon.

Troops from the IDF's 7th Brigade Combat Team have completed eight months of operational activity in southern Lebanon, during which they eliminated approximately 400 Hezbollah terrorists and destroyed around 3,500 terrorist infrastructure sites belonging to the organization.

Throughout the operation, brigade forces targeted the terrorist networks established by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, focusing on destroying operational infrastructure, locating weapons, and eliminating Hezbollah operatives.

One of the main objectives was the destruction of Hezbollah's underground infrastructure, including complexes known as "refuge cities." According to the IDF, these facilities formed part of an underground infrastructure network established by Hezbollah with financial support from the Iranian regime.

The complexes were destroyed by troops from the 7th Brigade in cooperation with soldiers from the Yahalom Unit, which specializes in special engineering operations, including missions targeting underground infrastructure. (Read More)

Iranian ayatollah sends BOLD message after midterms

Fox News chief correspondent Jonathan Hunt joins 'America's Newsroom' to discuss Israel's new plans and what the midterm elections could mean for the Iran war. (2.53 minutes)

The Islamic State threat against Israel is growing — and much of it has gone unnoticed

The new report notes that approximately two-thirds of the cases recorded since the Oct. 7 massacre involved Arab citizens of Israel rather than Palestinians from Judea and Samaria or Jerusalem.

While Israel has focused much of its security attention on Iran and its regional proxies such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and Islamic State (IS), it has quietly intensified its campaign against the Jewish state, mounting an unprecedented wave of plots and attempted attacks that has largely escaped international attention.

According to a database compiled by Aaron Zelin, a senior research fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, Israeli security forces have disrupted more plots by the jihadist terror group since the Hamas-led invasion of and massacre across southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, than during the entire nine-and-a-half years preceding it.

Between 2014 and 2023, Israeli forces conducted 50 IS-related arrest operations, compared with 46 in the period since the Oct. 7 atrocities, marking a significant surge in the group’s attempted attacks and operational activity. (Read More)

Window for Iran strike nears as fears of a fatal miscalculation grow

 

Senior Israeli security officials believe military action against Iran will be necessary in the foreseeable future, citing extraordinary steps taken by the Iranian regime. US midterm election results could create a narrow window of opportunity for a strike, but Israel is also preparing for the possibility of an Iranian preemptive attack. Meanwhile, Israel and the US remain divided over the objectives of another military campaign, as Qatar scrambles to prevent an escalation.

As polls open in the US midterm elections on Tuesday, the window of opportunity for joint American-Israeli military action against Iran is drawing closer. Senior Israeli security officials believe such an operation is necessary in light of what Israel describes as "extreme measures" taken by the Iranians recently, although the precise nature of those measures remains a matter of speculation.

Israel's security leadership is convinced that recent developments have made military action unavoidable in the foreseeable future. The ultimate decision, however, rests with US President Donald Trump, who is known for his efforts to keep adversaries guessing. One evening, he threatens to destroy Iranian civilization; by the following morning, he is talking about progress in negotiations.

Meanwhile, Qatar is engaged in intensive diplomatic efforts to mediate between the sides and avert an attack. According to published reports, Qatar's new proposal includes several confidence-building measures designed to give both sides a way to back down without losing face.

A narrow window of opportunity and the Iranian threat

The outcome of the US midterm elections will also influence when a military campaign might begin, should one be launched. If early forecasts prove accurate and Trump loses control of both houses of Congress, he will have roughly two months before the newly elected Congress takes office, during which the current Congress will remain in session.

That means the political window of opportunity for an operation is unlikely to remain open for long. It is worth remembering, however, that Trump is expected to visit China in a few days, and it is doubtful he would want to arrive there with a war raging. (Read More)

The new face of Congress: Mamdani's allies head to Washington

 

Lander, Valdez and Chevalier, all endorsed by the mayor, support halting military aid to Israel, although they differ on Zionism and the conditions for resuming assistance.

Three candidates backed by New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani – Darializa Avila Chevalier, Claire Valdez and Brad Lander – won races in solidly Democratic New York districts. All three had secured their party's nominations in June, defeating candidates backed by the Democratic establishment.

Lander, a Jewish politician and former New York City comptroller, defeated incumbent Dan Goldman. Valdez, a Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) member serving in the New York State Assembly, won the nomination to succeed retiring congresswoman Nydia Velázquez. Chevalier, an anti-Zionist activist, narrowly defeated longtime incumbent Adriano Espaillat.

The victories exposed tensions within the Democratic Party, with House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries having backed the incumbents against Mamdani's candidates. FOX 5 NY reported that the endorsements had become a key storyline in New York's congressional primaries.

All three newcomers support halting military aid to Israel, although they differ on Zionism and the conditions for resuming assistance.

Chevalier drew criticism for attending a Times Square rally on October 8, 2023, where participants supported Hamas's attack and mocked the number of Israelis killed. She defended her attendance, saying she feared an Israeli response that would cost thousands of lives. (Read More)

BREAKING: Iranian State TV Tells Citizens How to Survive a Nuclear Blast

Iranian state TV aired instructions on surviving a nuclear blast, telling citizens to avoid the flash, shelter indoors and stay put for at least 24 hours.

Iranian state television and news agencies have begun broadcasting instructions telling civilians how to act in the event of a nuclear explosion, according to regional media reports.

...The broadcasts come amid repeated threats by President Donald Trump to strike Pickaxe Mountain, a heavily fortified underground complex about 2 kilometers from the Natanz nuclear facility, according to the Jerusalem Post. Iran International has described the site as the last significant part of Iran’s nuclear program left untouched after two wars. (Read More)

Senior Researcher Brad Myers Comments,

There are a number of Bible prophecy teachers, including Dr. Bill Salus, who believe there is a strong possibility of a future nuclear disaster in Iran. They hold that this event will cause Iranians to scatter to many countries around the world, based on their interpretation of Jeremiah 49:36–37:

Did you know that these prophecies were not fulfilled in the past, as some teach, by either Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon or Alexander the Great? There is no historical evidence that a war caused the people of Elam to flee to nations all around the world during either of their reigns. What does this tell us? 

What future event described in Jeremiah 49 could force so many people to flee Iran and scatter across the globe? Could it be war, nuclear fallout, or a massive earthquake? 

6 Jewish takeaways as Democrats dominate US midterm elections

 

With GOP’s loss of Congress, Netanyahu won’t have backing for aggressive action in region, while moderate Democratic leaders will face pressure to bring anti-Israel agenda to vote.

The sheer size and geographic scope of the Republican wipeout on Tuesday makes it hard to read anything definitive into the results beyond a nationwide repudiation of US President Donald Trump (and his candidate selections). But whether or not any other factors were at play in the GOP bloodbath, the fallout will have a range of reverberations. Here are 6 takeaways that point to what comes next.

1. A significantly weakened Donald Trump doesn’t bode well for Netanyahu

2. Jeffries and Schumer have a massive headache coming their way

3. The impact of the anti-Israel vote was diluted

4. John Fetterman just lost his juice

5. AIPAC has not found a formula for success

6. It was a great night for Jewish presidential hopefuls (Read More)

Iran readies for war, airs nuclear drill

State television instructs citizens on sheltering from nuclear strike | 32 million Iranians volunteer for missile-defense drills | Tehran sets five conditions for ceasefire as Trump warns US can destroy nuclear site in one hour.

Iran has completed war-readiness preparations across all military systems, with state television broadcasting detailed civil-defense instructions for surviving a nuclear attack. The development was reported Wednesday evening by Baruch Yedid on i24NEWS. The assessment taking hold in Tehran is that full-scale war is only a matter of time, and the measures come against a backdrop of rising regional tension.

According to reports, Iran's Defense Ministry has dramatically increased production of missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles. Security officials estimate that Iran now possesses approximately 1,700 ballistic missiles with ranges reaching Israeli territory. Since the conclusion of Operation Swords of Iron, the Iranians have managed to produce several dozen additional missiles. Beyond the short-range missiles, the Iranian regime holds a vast stockpile of some 80,000 drones and unmanned aircraft. (Read More)

Israel lost Congress; will it use the next 2 years wisely?

Israel has a last window of two years with a friendly but weakened president. If the war with Iran does not end well in that time, it will rebuild alongside Hezbollah and perhaps Hamas.

Iranians take part in an anti-US rally marking the 47th anniversary of the US Embassy takeover, in front of the former US embassy building in Tehran, Iran, November 4, 2026

We have two last years of grace with a friendly but scarred and weakened president, and we must use them to end the war with Iran with the best possible outcomes. Otherwise, Iran will recover militarily, along with Hezbollah and perhaps Hamas, and most of the world's hypocritical, foolish leaders will not stand with us.

Years ago, a Palestinian journalist argued to me that without America, Israel would have lost every war. I reminded him of the War of Independence and the Six-Day War, in which we won almost entirely on our own. It would be harder, I told him, but we would win every military campaign.

The journalist's claim is a familiar thesis in the Arab world; Qatar, though not alone, was the one that took it upon itself to change that picture. Overnight Tuesday, the process was nearly completed. One pro-Israel stronghold remains, the White House, and it too will probably fall in the next election or the one after. Some will call that an exaggeration, and quite a few pro-Israel senators and House members remain. But what was once the lunatic fringe of Congress has become the mainstream, and the place that was once more pro-Israel (and therefore also more pro-American) than most presidents has flipped.

The cause was a years-long, dollar-rich campaign, antisemitic in essence. It held that Israel is to blame for nearly every trouble Americans have, has no right to exist, and is a state of European colonialists that stole the land of the poor Palestinians, the natives, before they even knew that is what they were. The campaign worked from the roots, from organizations of kindergarten teachers and schoolteachers to massive investments in universities and colleges. It is a fascinating subject for in-depth academic research, if only there were universities and researchers who were not tainted and not biased against Israel.

The implications of the election results are immediate, even though the new Congress will be sworn in only in January. The president is responsible for foreign policy but needs Congress to approve budgets and to approve extensions of wars and military operations. (Read More)
