A senior Iranian official stated that Tehran believes the United States' latest response regarding ending the war is "insufficient," and warned that if fighting escalates again, attacks will be launched on data centers, undersea cables, and AI facilities in the region.

Meanwhile, Israel's former chief prosecutor testifies in court, and the corruption case against Netanyahu continues to be heard; with elections approaching in just a few weeks, the political future of this Israeli prime minister, who has served the longest term, remains uncertain.

Iran says the latest U.S. response is "insufficient"

The head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council stated that Tehran believes the latest response from the United States regarding the end of the war and the full opening of the Strait of Hormuz is "insufficient," and that related negotiations are still progressing with difficulty.

Iran's state news agency IRNA quoted former Revolutionary Guard commander Mohsen Rezai Mohsen Rezaei as saying that Iran no longer responds to the United States, and that Washington must clarify certain issues, although no details were provided. He stated that the United States has accepted some of the seven conditions, but others remain unclear.

The Iranian delegation proposed a plan to accelerate the reaching of an agreement at last month's annual gathering of world leaders at the United Nations, which echoed the memorandum of understanding that collapsed just a few days after its signing by the US and Iran in June this year. The new proposal was rejected, but both sides still maintain contact through mediation.

Rezaei also threatened that if intense fighting breaks out again, they will target "cables, data centers, AI facilities, and other locations within the region."

Meanwhile, the Revolutionary Guards Navy has warned that any vessel that shuts down its navigation and identification systems in the strait will be "treated as a hostile target," according to IRNA. Since Iran's proposal was rejected, there has been an increase in attacks on vessels crossing the strait, with another attack reported on Sunday.

Former legal adviser to Israel testifies in Netanyahu corruption case

The former Chief Prosecutor of Israel testified in the long-running corruption trial against Netanyahu.

Avihai Mandelblit (Avichai Mandelblit) sued the prime minister seven years ago on charges of fraud, breach of trust, and bribery. These accusations were the first in Israeli history to be brought against a serving prime minister.

Netanyahu listened to Mandelbrot's testimony in court. Mandelbrot was once the cabinet secretary appointed by Netanyahu, who personally selected him to serve as the Attorney General. Mandelbrot's term of office ended in 2022.

Netanyahu is alleged to have offered or exchanged benefits to wealthy allies and media magnates in pursuit of political gains. He denies any improper behavior.

Houthi militants warn of a new round of attacks, Saudi Arabia enters a state of alert

A projectile struck the same passenger terminal at Riyadh International Airport, which had been attacked on Saturday earlier. The airport was closed after the attack on Saturday, but Saudi authorities said that the latest attack resulted in injuries to people.

Houthi forces supported by Iran in Yemen claimed responsibility for the two attacks on King Khalid International Airport. The airport has been under attack every day since Wednesday.

Houthi armed forces military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Sari (Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree) urged "everyone to take our warnings seriously," stating that flying in Saudi airspace poses risks.

These attacks mark a significant escalation of the war between Houthi militants and Saudi Arabia, and also complicate efforts to prevent a war between the United States and Iran.

Gaza residents return to the ruins while airstrikes continue

Residents in central Gaza returned to their homes the day after receiving an evacuation warning to assess the damage caused by Israeli airstrikes.

Bassam Abde ( Bassam Abed ) said that at least 10 residences and about 300 families were reduced to rubble, and these families did not have enough time to flee.

"The women slept outdoors. We didn't bring any clothes with us," said Abded.

The Israeli military stated that their targets were the infrastructure of militants, including a rocket launch site and a command center used by Hamas militants to attack soldiers.

A year after Israel and Hamas reached a ceasefire agreement, Israel still carries out airstrikes almost every day.

Netanyahu calls for an investigation into the documentary " NAZA "

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has demanded that the Attorney General and the head of the Shin Bet security service investigate those involved in the new documentary “NAZA”. In this documentary, insiders from the Israeli military describe what they claim are reckless killings of civilians in Gaza.

Netanyahu stated that this film, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival and received a record 25 minutes of standing ovations, tells a "false, misleading, and biased story that defames the state of Israel" and its military.

This documentary has angered and disturbed Israelis; their views on the Gaza War are significantly different from those in many other regions of the world, and international criticism of Israel's actions in Palestinian territories is growing day by day.

Netanyahu is fighting to retain power, and security issues were a major topic in the elections on October 27th.

Lebanese military says a retired officer died in an Israeli artillery attack

The Lebanese military stated that they have recovered the body of a retired officer. The officer was killed by Israeli artillery fire while inspecting his property in the southern town of At ( Yater ).

The military stated that Ali Abdul Hassan Sweidan ( Ali Abdul Hassan Sweidan ) “was directly targeted by enemy Israeli tanks,” and described this as “a blatant violation of the existing understandings.”

An Israeli military spokesman stated that they were unaware of this matter.

Since the latest round of conflict broke out between Israel and Hezbollah, a Lebanese armed group supported by Iran, Israel has been occupying large areas in southern Lebanon.
