🇮🇷🇮🇶🇺🇸⚡️ — BREAKING: During a meeting with Iraqi Coordination Framework leaders, Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi discussed war plans presented by the U.S. government to President Trump, presumably shared with the Iraqi government, Al-Mada reports
The plan consists of three scenarios, two of which are shared in this article. One scenario consists of U.S. forces launching an invasion of southern Iran through Iraqi territory, and another consists of Iran invading Kuwait from Iraqi territory.
Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi also warned Coordination Framework and Islamic Resistance in Iraq officials that if Iraqi militias join the next American-Iranian war, arrests would be conducted by the Iraqi government against the Islamic Resistance in Iraq.
—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇶/🇮🇶/🇮🇷 NEW: In a closed-door meeting, Iraqi Prime Minister Al-Zaidi threatened Shiite factions that supporting Iran militarily in the next war would lead to mass arrests of militia leaders
In response, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq warned Al-Zaidi that any attempt to arrest Shia leaders would result in the fall of the government.
Al-Zaidi also claimed the U.S. had discussed plans to invade Iran from Iraqi territory.

- Correction * It has since come to light that the Arman tactical ballistic missiles (known locally as Ababil) have been exported to Armenia not Russia. The error has come about due to the two systems having the same name. Also, local sources tend to report anything heading north as heading for Russia.

❗️️️️️️️House Democrats flooded with calls opposing Hakeem Jeffries over pro-Israel stance
Expand
House Democrats are facing a wave of calls and emails urging them not to elect Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries as House speaker following the party’s landslide victory in Tuesday’s elections, Axios reported.
Several lawmakers reported receiving hundreds of calls, with one describing the issue as their office’s top concern. The backlash reflects growing frustration among Democratic voters with party leadership, particularly Jeffries’ ties to pro-Israel organizations and corporate political action committees.
Some callers are pushing for Rep. Jamie Raskin, a prominent progressive Democrat, to replace Jeffries, although Raskin has expressed no interest in challenging him.
A Change.org petition opposing Jeffries had gathered nearly 900,000 signatures by Friday, amplified in part by actor Mark Ruffalo’s call for “a new speaker.” Meanwhile, incoming Ohio Democrat Don Leonard said he would be “shopping for a new leader” if Jeffries refused to change his pro-Israel position.
Despite the mounting pressure, Jeffries remains widely expected to secure the speakership after Democrats won a commanding House majority of more than 250 seats. He has maintained unanimous support from his caucus in previous speaker votes, and no challenger has emerged.
However, several incoming Democrats have declined to commit to supporting him, highlighting divisions within the party ahead of its leadership elections on 18–19 November and the House speaker vote on 3 January.

Usually I don’t comment on US election news, but this felt somewhat relevant. If only because it demonstrates that most Statesians are sick of Israel in general.
I know many fear the co-opting of the Palestinian liberation movement, (and liberal zionist undeniably pose a threat) however I’ve found more and more that Americans are in a prime position to be educated on why the Israel cannot exist under any paradigm.
❗️️Yemeni Armed Forces announce four operations targeting Saudi Aramco facilities, Riyadh financial district, airport, and military positions
Yemen’s Armed Forces announced in a statement on Sunday, 8 November, that they had carried out four military operations against targets in Saudi Arabia and Saudi-backed military positions in Yemen, using ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones.
The operations were in retaliation for Saudi attacks on Yemen, particularly strikes on Al-Hadara Market in Al-Wazi’iyah and residential buildings in Bani Hashish, which it said had killed or injured more than 120 people, most of them women and children.
• The first operation targeted King Khalid International Airport, Aramco storage tanks, and the financial district in Riyadh. The Yemeni Armed Forces claimed the strikes were direct and precise, causing extensive damage.
• The second operation targeted Saudi Aramco facilities in Abqaiq, reportedly scoring direct hits and causing fires.
• The third operation targeted Saudi military concentrations under Saudi officer Fares al-Shammari in eastern Al-Jawf province and Madghal district in Marib.
• The fourth struck forces under Saudi officer Badr al-Harbi in Al-Mudaribah, Lahj province.
The Yemeni Armed Forces vowed to continue striking targets deep inside Saudi Arabia and attacking Saudi military concentrations and officers until the attacks on Yemen cease and the blockade is lifted. They reiterated their commitment to the principle of “blockade for blockade and escalation for escalation,” warning of further operations intended to inflict significant damage on Saudi Arabia.
UN probe exposes UAE training, deployment of Colombian mercenaries to fuel genocide in Sudan
UAE diplomat Lana Nusseibeh, a candidate for UN secretary-general, is accused of whitewashing Abu Dhabi’s role in the genocide in Sudan

I’d like to ask if comrades more familiar with Latin America are able to comment on this if possible. As I’ve said before, I view the struggle in Sudan to be very heavily linked to the struggle in West Asia.
Colombians are the most common mercenaries fighting for Ukraine making up around half of all the foreign fighters. Seems to be reasonable that a nation that produces lots of mercenaries that work for one fascist regime would be well represented in a genocide somewhere else.

🇮🇷🇺🇸| The IRGC-Navy says since the early morning hours until now, 3 violating oil tankers in the Strait of Hormoz have suffered explosions and severe fires.
Smoke from the burning tankers has engulfed the skies over the SoH.
The tankers are reportedly burning as a result of switching off their AIS systems and what the IRGC described as the hostile actions of the “smuggling and invading US military.”
(The announcement did not mention how they got engulfed in fire)

❗️Hezbollah MP says US and Israeli election results will not change resistance’s position or calculations
Expand
Hezbollah MP Ali Fayyad, a member of the Loyalty to the Resistance parliamentary bloc, affirmed that the results of the Israeli and US elections will not alter the resistance’s positions or strategic calculations, particularly regarding its right to defend Lebanon and its people and liberate occupied Lebanese territory.
Speaking at a ceremony honoring fallen resistance fighters in the southern Lebanese town of Mays al-Jabal, Fayyad also criticized the Lebanese authorities for their comprehensive failure to protect Lebanese citizens and liberate their land.
Addressing the confrontation with Iran, Fayyad said it had exposed significant US and Israeli failures, with repercussions extending to Washington, its allies, and global energy security. He pointed to the cohesion of Iran and its allies and their ability to manage the confrontation despite mounting regional pressures.
Fayyad stressed that the outcome of the confrontation has yet to be definitively decided, arguing that establishing a balance of power with Israel requires the steadfastness and resilience of the Lebanese people.
He called on the Lebanese authorities to reassess their policies and political calculations, move beyond the current state of stagnation and imbalance, and adopt an approach capable of achieving Lebanon’s national objectives.
