Netanyahu's Office:

Netanyahu and his wife visited the United Arab Emirates yesterday at the invitation of the UAE President, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed.

Netanyahu was accompanied by the head of the National Security Council, the head of the Mossad, the military secretary and the foreign policy adviser.

Trump:

Axios just released a story that “Trump” offered Sanctions Relief and Frozen Funds to Iran. This is untrue. I offered them NOTHING!

Axios’ story, like most others, is a HOAX, used only for purposes of satisfying their Trump Derangement Syndrome. They should withdraw this fake story, IMMEDIATELY!

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the Pentagon to use intelligence, cyber operations and advanced AI to detect and disrupt foreign interference in upcoming U.S. elections.

The Sept. 22 directive tells U.S. Cyber Command and defense intelligence agencies to monitor foreign threats, counter election-related cyberattacks and coordinate with the Department of Homeland Security.

The memo does not authorize troops at polling stations or the seizure of voting machines.

Marco Rubio on Iran:

5 years from now, everyone would be saying, I can't believe they allowed Iran behind a conventional shield to build and develop a nuclear weapons program, and now you have North Korea in the Middle East.

That's what we were on the verge of. That's what Trump has prevented.

Marco Rubio on Iran:

There is almost as much oil flowing through the Straits now as before this conflict, with the exception of Iranian oil.

If they had a nuclear weapon, they would be able to control the Straits, charge a toll, and decide who got energy and who did not get energy on this planet.

Marco Rubio on Cuba:

Cuba's already fallen.

It's governed by people who continue to preach about some revolution that has been dead for 20 years.

It's never worked.

Marco Rubio on Greenland:

Under this agreement, which exists now in perpetuity, never will any adversary of the United States have the ability to invest there without our approval and their approval.

We will also have access to building new military facilities that will allow us to build the sort of missile defense shield that all of North America needs.

Anthropic warned in its IPO filing that advanced AI could pose “catastrophic or existential risks to humanity,” including resisting shutdown, hiding information or behaving like blackmail.

About 80 of its 261 prospectus pages focus on risks, including models recognizing when they are being evaluated and concealing dangerous behavior.

Anthropic said safety work is costly and returns are uncertain, but believes trustworthy and secure AI will be rewarded by the market.

Marco Rubio on Iran:

Who calls the shots in Iran are radical Shia clerics with an apocalyptic vision of the future.

They believe that it is their religious calling to trigger about the last days of the world in the apocalypse.

People like that can never possess a nuclear weapon because they will use it to blackmail the world and to kill people.

Two U.S. Navy aviators ejected while landing on the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower off Virginia after a “mishap” during aircraft recovery operations.

Both aviators were rescued and returned to the carrier.

Four sailors aboard the ship were also injured, including one taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The Navy did not identify the aircraft type or say what caused the accident.

Argentina’s President Javier Milei has given the UK two weeks to halt the Sea Lion oil project near the Falkland Islands or face international legal action.

Milei accused Britain of the “illegal plundering” of Argentine resources and said the dispute could be taken to the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea.

The Sea Lion field, about 130 miles from the islands, is estimated to contain 1.7 billion barrels of oil.

British firm Rockhopper Exploration and Israel’s Navitas Petroleum plan to begin production within two years and say they hold valid licences issued by the Falkland Islands.

Marco Rubio:

Suffice it to say, what happened — what could have happened — in the UK over the weekend is a very serious situation.

It is something in the hands of a foreign actor. I won’t get into great detail about that yet.

Marco Rubio:

With President Trump, he has made it clear that the issue of Greenland is not about conquest — [it is] about national security.

IRGC Spokesperson:

When we say "Death to America," we mean death to the policies of killing, plundering and bloodshed — death to those who hold such ideas.

The reason they consider the IRGC a terrorist organization is that the IRGC stands in the way of plundering in Iran and the region.

A Jewish man was filmed trying to urinate on the wall of St. James Monastery in Jerusalem’s Old City before a security guard stopped him.

The monastery has repeatedly been targeted by Jewish extremists who spit toward it, part of wider harassment of Christian clergy and churches in the Old City.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed AB 2017, formally recognizing Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha in state law.

The law allows state and school employees to use existing leave to observe Eid and permits K-12 schools and community colleges to close for the holidays through local agreements.

IRGC Spokesperson:

The American people live in a land that, in terms of fertility, is one of the best lands in the world. They have abundant water resources, energy and valuable minerals.

With all these resources — human resources, natural resources and underground resources — they could have a very prosperous country.

So our question is: why does America have 39 million people below the poverty line?

Why are millions of people homeless?

IRGC Spokesperson:

America still does not have a comprehensive public health-care system.

I heard from one of the people living in America that if someone has an accident in the street, they may not have the money to pay for an ambulance to take them to the hospital.

For a wealthy country, this shows that the rulers of that country are not really thinking about their people. Their priority is their own profit — and there are other examples that you know better than I do.

IRGC Spokesperson:

I ask the American people: why do people in other countries put your flag beneath their feet? Why do they burn your flag?

Why does your president not dare to travel to many countries? And when he does travel somewhere, why does he need such extensive security measures, while people demonstrate against him? Why is it like this?

It is because people hate the killing carried out by this president and this ruling establishment. People are aware that the U.S. military commits crimes.

Today, people resent America’s rulers because whenever killings take place in other countries, the trail leads back to America. Why is that? Shouldn’t the American people think about why this is happening?

IRGC Spokesperson:

What is the reason for the existence of 800 U.S. military bases in different countries around the world?

What justification is there for [such an enormous] U.S. military budget? Is it anything other than keeping the major arms factories and companies prosperous?

Is it anything other than producing weapons, creating consumption for them and filling the pockets of the wealthy in America?

If America needs to defend itself where it lives, its defensive position is naturally secure. It does not need 800 military bases around the world.
