Iranian officials distribute iodine pills anticipating American nuclear bombardment

 

According to UK news outlet The Times of London, step comes as Iran nuclear site Pickaxe Mountain braces for possible US strike.

Tehran has been taking steps for a possible atomic bunker-busting assault by Donald Trump following electoral fallout, according to the Times of London.

Digital clips spreading across local networks reveal deep government fears regarding a potential bombardment ordered by the US president against Pickaxe Mountain, which supposedly houses elite nuclear scientists. Located about one mile south of the Natanz enrichment hub, the stronghold seems invulnerable to standard weapons.

Seemingly preparing residents for an atomic blast targeting the facility, footage analyzed by The Times prompts viewers to visualize a detonation before revealing estimated ranges to regional hubs: 17 miles to Natanz, 25 miles to Kashan, 117 miles to Isfahan, and 223 miles to Tehran. According to The Times, the broadcast then issues clear safety guidelines warning: "Get inside, stay inside and listen for updates."

Such an assault could launch immense amounts of irradiated debris into the air, allowing strong winds to scatter lethal dust for hundreds of miles. The video warns that immediate neighbors might only have ten to 15 minutes to take shelter, whereas further communities might have hours.

Physical actions taken by the government also compound public panic. Health workers recently began dispensing radiation pills to villages bordering atomic sites. "Yes, we are distributing iodine," a medical official told The Times. "During every war, we have tried to distribute it within a two-to-three-kilometre radius of nuclear facilities. Trump can no longer be trusted. He may go through with this crime." (Read More)

Saudi Arabia shuts door on normalization under Netanyahu’s current government

The official said Saudi Arabia wanted Israel’s next government, whoever leads it, to be willing to negotiate a resolution to the Palestinian conflict.

Saudi Arabia sees no prospect of establishing diplomatic relations with Israel while Benjamin Netanyahu governs with his current coalition, an official familiar with Riyadh’s position told Kan on Thursday.

The kingdom has not publicly responded to the Israeli election results. But the official said Netanyahu’s policies run counter to Saudi Arabia’s demand for progress toward resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through a two-state solution.

“Saudi Arabia wants peace, wants to negotiate,” the official said, adding that Netanyahu did not share Riyadh’s approach to settling the conflict.

The objection concerns policy rather than Netanyahu personally, according to the official, who accused the prime minister of pursuing escalation. The official nevertheless stressed that Saudi Arabia had no preferred candidate to lead Israel, describing that choice as an internal Israeli matter. (Read More)

The Saudi-Palestinian relationship dates back over 4000 years. Ishmael, the patriarch of the Saudis, and Esau, who`fathered the Edomites, who have descendants among the Palestians today, have passed on through the generations their ancient hatred of the Jews. Ishmael, the first son of Abraham, was Esau's uncle.I explain this deeply rooted connection in my video below.

Iran sends nuclear proposal to US, demands seven conditions be met

 
Iran submits a nuclear proposal to Washington through Qatar but insists the US meet seven demands before negotiations, as Trump warns of possible new strikes. 

Earlier Thursday, Iran's top security official, Mohsen Rezaei, reiterated Tehran's conditions during a visit to Russia, linking any resumption of negotiations to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. 

"On the issue of diplomacy, we have announced seven conditions to the Americans. As long as they ‌do ⁠not execute our seven conditions, we will neither open the Strait of Hormuz nor have negotiations". 

Iran's demands include the removal of American sanctions, the release of frozen Iranian funds and compensation for damage caused by the war. Washington, meanwhile, has insisted that Iran's nuclear program must be addressed from the outset of any negotiations. (Read More)

Senior Researcher Brad Myers Comments,

Israel National News is reporting on November 6, 2026, that Iran has sent a nuclear proposal to the U.S., insisting that Washington meet seven demands prior to resuming negotiations. Iran's demands include the removal of American sanctions, the release of frozen Iranian funds, and compensation for damages caused by the war.

With all of this in mind, on that very same day of November 6, JFeed published a story with the headline: "Fox News: US Eyes November 9 for Possible Iran Strikes, Citing New Moon." In the article, they shared the following information:

"U.S. Central Command is finalizing preparations for a potential resumption of major operations against Iran but has not received a new directive from Washington, according to a U.S. official. The report follows a New York Times report on Wednesday that thousands of American air and naval personnel, aboard more than a dozen ships and at bases across the Middle East and in the United States, are ready to launch major combat operations against Iran if Trump gives the order. According to that report, the U.S. and Israeli militaries have drawn up plans targeting Iran's energy infrastructure, nuclear facilities, and missile and drone arsenals." 

Will President Trump and U.S. military leadership capitulate to the Iranian regime's demands for a deal, or will they unleash a devastating strike on Iran? Time will tell.

Anti-Israel shift in Democratic Party here to stay, Israeli experts warn

 “It’s an evolving trend that shows greater signs of permanence than temporary quality,” Dan Diker, of the Jerusalem Center for Foreign Affairs, told JNS.

(Nov. 6, 2026 / JNS) Hours after Democrats retook both houses of Congress in what is widely described as a “blue tsunami,” which unseated Republicans in decades-long GOP strongholds, Israeli experts told JNS that they are bearish on the growing antisemitic cohort in Congress being a blip, which a pendulum swing is likely to correct next cycle. 

“It’s an evolving trend that shows greater signs of permanence than temporary quality,” Dan Diker, president of the Jerusalem Center for Foreign Affairs, told JNS.

Diker, who co-hosts a podcast for JNS, said that Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, of Michigan, who is to be the first Muslim in the upper chamber in January, joins anti-Israel Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who is a harsh critic of the Jewish state. 

He told JNS that it was a “shocking development” that Mamdani, who campaigned on having the Israeli prime minister arrested, was elected. The mayor “sounds exactly like El-Sayed, but within the context of New York City politics,” he said. “Look at the evolution.”

“The major shift now is that this assault, which had been more on the fringes, on the left fringes of American politics since the 1960s, has now moved into the center of American politics and has now embedded itself in the U.S. Senate,” he told JNS. “That’s the danger. It’s become part of the legitimate mainstream discourse in America.” (Read More)

Has the anti-Israel shift among ordinary Americans and supporters of the Democratic and Republican parties since October 2023 had anything to do with end-times prophecy?

The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace published an article on July 13, 2026, titled "Is Israel Losing America?" which noted: "Israel's image and credibility in the United States have fallen to an unprecedented low. A recent Pew poll revealed that 60 percent of American adults have an unfavorable view of Israel, especially among younger respondents."

On November 5, 2026, USA Today put out an article titled "Midterms Might Signal "New Era" for US-Israel Relationship," reporting: "At the same time, the midterms ushered into Congress a slate of Democrats vocally critical of Israel, expanding their ranks in the Capitol. What was once an area of bipartisan consensus, American support for Israel has gone through a sea change in the aftermath of the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023..."

Axios carried the headline "The Republican Party Is Starting to Turn on Israel" on June 28, 2026.

Are there emerging trends suggesting that the United States government might become politically unwilling to intervene militarily on behalf of Israel in the war described in Ezekiel 38–39?

 

WATCH: Iranian professor threatens to make Israel uninhabitable even without a nuclear bomb

Tehran University professor Hamzeh Safavi, son of a former IRGC chief, threatened that Iran can make Israel uninhabitable with various dirty weapons, claiming real deterrence doesn’t require a nuclear bomb.

Iran-linked ships spotted hovering over subsea internet cables after threats

 

At least 4 vessels, including 3 US-sanctioned tankers, reportedly slowed, circled and disabled tracking systems near critical communications cables amid Iranian threats to target Gulf digital infrastructure if Washington and Israel launch new strikes.

At least four vessels linked to Iran have been observed following unusual routes and lingering above undersea communications cables in the Gulf of Oman in recent weeks, raising suspicions that they may have been mapping the infrastructure or preparing to place explosives or naval mines nearby, the Financial Times reported on Friday.

NT Wright: Evangelical Views on Modern-Day Israel Are ‘Unbiblical,’ ‘Dangerous’

 
At a conference on Romans this week, theologian Dr. N.T. Wright again criticized the evangelical Christian view that Israel has a key role in fulfilling prophecy. Not only is that idea “totally unbiblical,” the scholar said, but it’s “a very dangerous thing to believe.”

Wright is the featured speaker at “The Fresh Challenge of Romans,” a four-day lecture series at Park Cities Baptist Church in Dallas. During a Q&A session Monday evening (Nov. 2), the New Testament scholar and retired Anglican bishop addressed topics including Israel, Christian citizenship, and Christian nationalism. 

...At Monday’s Q&A in Dallas, Wright noted that several “odd strands” of Christian thought have “contributed toward what I think is a totally unbiblical idea, namely that the present modern-day state of Israel is somehow a fulfillment of prophecy.” About this idea, which he called “simply unwarranted,” Wright said now that “the chickens are coming home to roost, we’re seeing that it’s a very dangerous thing to believe.” (Read More)

Senior Researcher Brad Myers Comments,

You are probably asking, "Who is theologian N. T. Wright?" Christianity Today says this about him:  "People who are asked to write about N. T. Wright may find they quickly run out of superlatives. He is the most prolific biblical scholar of a generation. Some say he is the most important apologist for the Christian faith since C. S. Lewis."

Are we seriously expected to believe, based on the views of this popular Bible scholar, that it is completely unbiblical to see the modern state of Israel as a fulfillment of prophecy?

 Ezekilel 37:21-22

“Then say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again."

Ezekiel 36:8-11

"But you, O mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches and yield your fruit to My people Israel, for they are about to come. For indeed I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be tilled and sown. I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, all of it; and the cities shall be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt. I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bear young; I will make you inhabited as in former times, and do better for you than at your beginnings. Then you shall know that I am the Lord."

These are only three passages among many more that prophesied the return of the Jews back to their historiic homeland of Israel.

Iran's political, religious leaders shift stance to support nuclear weapons as war looms

 
In past decades, Iranian officials have publicly endorsed the fatwa issued by supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei forbidding the development and use of nuclear weapons. 

An increasing number of Iranian clerics and officials are pressing Iranian leaders to reverse their pledge not to pursue nuclear weapons, the New York Times reported on Wednesday. 

In past decades, Iranian officials have publicly endorsed the fatwa issued by supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei forbidding the development and use of nuclear weapons.

Schumer vows to end Iran war after Democrats win Senate majority

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer pledges to use his party's new majority to end the Iran war, challenging Trump over military action and rising costs.

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer on Wednesday pledged to use his party's newly secured Senate majority to bring an end to the war with Iran, arguing that President Donald Trump had failed to explain the objectives of the military campaign to the American public.

Speaking at a news conference following Tuesday's midterm elections, Schumer sharply criticized the administration's handling of the conflict.

“The American people don't know what the heck we're fighting for in Iran," Schumer said. “He's never made it clear. He changes his mind day-to-day and minute-to-minute. This war must end. It must end.

Schumer said Democrats had won 54 Senate seats and could potentially expand their majority to 55 or 56, giving them greater influence over the administration's policies.

Asked whether Democrats would consider using defense funding to pressure Trump into ending the war, Schumer pointed to previous votes in which some Republican lawmakers had joined Democrats in opposing the conflict.

“Look, we are going to end the war," he declared, emphasizing Congress's constitutional authority over federal spending as a potential means of limiting military operations. (Read More)

Nuclear option for Iran — blocked by Congress

 

With Democrats now controlling both houses of Congress, Israel may find itself cut off from the heavy munitions it would need for a strike on Iran's most fortified sites.

Of the hundreds of nuclear warheads in America's operational arsenal, only one was designed from the outset for a unique mission: to penetrate the ground and turn the surrounding rock itself into a weapon. It is the B61-11, the only nuclear weapon in the active U.S. arsenal built to destroy deeply buried bunkers.

Most nuclear bombs are designed to detonate in the air or on the surface. The B61-11 is meant to bury itself in the ground before exploding, sending a powerful seismic shock through the earth that collapses tunnels and underground facilities without striking them directly.

The weapon has returned to the center of debate in Washington. According to U.S. reports, the administration has examined military options against a heavily fortified underground Iranian nuclear facility near Natanz known as Pickaxe Mountain, which is carved some 100 meters deep into solid granite.

It’s now or never for Trump and Netanyahu to crush Iran’s regime

Trump and Netanyahu brought Iran to its knees but left the regime standing. Now, political upheaval in the U.S. and Israel threatens their last chance to finish the job.

As Republicans confront the consequences of Tuesday’s midterm bloodbath, Vice President JD Vance has offered a blunt explanation.

“The reason we lost is the war,” Vance declared Wednesday, blaming the conflict with Iran, rising living costs, and America’s relationship with Israel.

President Donald Trump acknowledged the war’s political toll but stood by his decision.

“If I had to do it again, I’d have to do it again because, long term, it’s the only answer. You can’t let Iran have a nuclear weapon,” Trump declared.

Trump is absolutely right.

Confronting Iran was not a mistake. The mistake was allowing the regime to survive.

For nearly half a century, the Islamic Republic has spread terror, murdered Americans, armed terrorist armies, and openly pursued Israel’s destruction.

From Hezbollah and Hamas to the Houthis and Iranian-backed militias in Iraq, Tehran has built an international network of terror responsible for countless innocent deaths. (Read More)

Hezbollah is back: Lebanese army fails to fill the vacuum left by IDF

 
More than 100 days after the IDF handed three southern Lebanese villages to the Lebanese army, Hezbollah-linked aid groups have returned and oversight talks remain stalled, raising fears in Israel that the failed pilot could lead to renewed fighting

The pilot program in Lebanon is increasingly looking like a failure, with potentially serious security consequences for Israel. More than 100 days have passed since the IDF handed control of three villages in southern Lebanon to the Lebanese army, but Hezbollah is gradually returning to the areas it evacuated.

Instead of the gradual dismantling of Hezbollah's infrastructure and the expansion of Lebanese army control, the terrorist organization is managing to return to the area, reactivate parts of its civilian networks and reestablish its influence among the local population. (Read More)

Senior Researcher Brad Myers Comments,

The news that Hezbollah is returning and that the Lebanese army has failed to fill the vacuum left by the IDF after 100 days, which could potentially lead to renewed fighting, comes as no surprise if this is pointing toward the war foretold in Isaiah 17:4–6. Are your favorite Bible teachers talking about this possibility?"

 

 

 

Anthropic's chilling SEC warning: 'Runaway' AI model that can slip out of human control almost ready

Anthropic has claimed that it is extremely close to creating an AI model that can keep building itself, becoming so powerful that it completely slips out of human control. Anthropic revealed in its revised S-1/A, an amendment to a Form S-1 registration statement submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) before the IPO, that the model is capable of recursive self-improvement (RSI), TechCrunch reported.

RSI is seen as a tipping point from which humanity won't be able to pull back what it has put out there in the name of technology. It is when the AI model has grown so good at training itself that its AI capabilities expand by leaps and bounds. Critics call it the point of no return where AI wouldn't care about the negative fallouts of any of its actions to achieve a goal. (Read More)

'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
