gulfnews.com —

President Trump warned the US may strike Iran further, stating Washington is not negotiating and action could come soon, while Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps threatened US bases in response to the naval blockade. The IRGC warned continued US naval escorts through "mined waterways" could trigger direct action against American bases, claiming three more vessels hit mines west of the Strait of Hormuz. Israeli PM Netanyahu directed military and security agencies to pursue regime change in Tehran, five days before Israel's October 27 election. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Kharg Island, Iran's main oil terminal, is at a standstill, calling it a "monument to failure." CENTCOM said its 100-day blockade prevented $25 billion in crude exports. UN Secretary-General Guterres condemned Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, and the Saudi-led coalition intercepted a missile toward Najran.
