🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️ — NEW: President Trump has given Benjamin Netanyahu his “Complete and Total Endorsement” ahead of Israel’s October 27 election, praising him as a “Great Warrior Prime Minister” and a strong partner in confronting Iran.

Trump wrote that Iran’s military and financial capabilities had been systematically destroyed and warned that if Israelis elected anyone other than Netanyahu, the U.S. would have to finish the job against Iran itself, adding that he was “not inclined to do so.”

He praised Netanyahu for remaining strong under pressure and concluded: “BIBI NETANYAHU WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!”

⛽️ 🇫🇷 🛢 Fuel shortages are hitting Europe.

In certain regions of France, 25-50% of gas stations are out of stock of at least one type of fuel.

With ~600 stations completely out of fuel.

The national average surged from 13.5% on October 16 to 16.3% just 2 days later...

France's fuel crisis has gotten materially worse in just 48 hours.

Brace for inflation.

The KSA used to claim the helicopter was lost due to a "technical malfunction" before Ansarallah published the video.

Two KSA soldiers were killed in this attack.

🇮🇷 The Iranian Parliament appointed Mehrdad Akhlaghi Ketabchi as defense minister, replacing Majid Ebn-e-Reza who served as acting-defense minister from March to October, replacing Aziz Nasirzadeh, who was assassinated by Israel.

Mehrdad Akhlaghi Ketabchi is one of the most competent Iranian rocket scientists alive having worked on the powerful Sejjil two staged solid fuel intermediate range ballistic missile (IRBM) successfully used against Israel and the Zolfaghar family of short range ballistic missiles (SRBMs).

He was a close collaborator of former Brigadier General of the IRGC, Hassan Tehrani Mogghamedam, who created the IRGC's Aerospace Force and fathered Iran's missile program and military doctrine regarding the use of missiles and missile cities.

Unlike most previous defense ministers, Akhlagi is not a military commander nor an IRGC member. He worked for decades in various Iranian industrial enterprises related to Iran's missile program and has been under U.N. and U.S. sanctions since 2007 and 2008 respectively.
