Pakistan’s principal decision-maker, Field Marshal Asim Munir, is reportedly heading to Tehran, Iran this week, according to some regional news outlets, amidst the threat of imminent U.S.-Iran escalation.
Since the start of the war, Pakistan has positioned itself as a mediator, but has struggled to realize the level of success in the role that other regional nations, like Qatar and Oman, have.
This comes as Iran increasingly targets vessels in the Strait of Hormuz to gain back lost leverage and the likelihood of U.S. President Donald J. Trump authorizing expanded strikes on Iran in the near term rises.

At the Crimea Global conference, Dmytro Usov from Ukraine's POW Coordination Headquarters revealed that nearly 46,000 foreigners from 151 countries have contracted with Russia to fight Ukraine. According to him, this figure reflects the number of individuals whose personal data the Headquarters has identified as being recruited by the Russians. The agency is currently verifying contract signing dates for an additional 668 people.
"While in 2022 we recorded 94 signed contracts, this number continues to grow year after year. The Russian Ministry of Defense planned for 18,500 contracts with foreigners, and 16,168 have already been signed. In other words, if this trend continues, the ministry is on track to fully meet or even exceed its goal for recruiting foreign nationals into the Russian Armed Forces." - Usov said.
He also noted that top countries supplying recruits to Russia include Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Belarus, Colombia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Kyrgyzstan. Furthermore, in the first nine months of 2026, the Headquarters observed a significant surge in recruits from Indonesia, Peru, Sierra Leone, Burundi, Chad, the Philippines, Congo, and Panama.

RT @n_brandstetter: @chrisschmitz @Felix_Nuno This is what I've been saying for years. All these powers around the world are pushing Europe to reawaken. What exactly do they think will happen when a united Europe goes on the warpath?

A National Guard member assigned to Joint Task Force–District of Columbia, supporting the 'DC Safe and Beautiful' mission, was shot in the leg last night in the 400 block of 8th Street SE on Capitol Hill, according to D.C. police. Interim Metropolitan Police Chief Jeffery Carroll said 7-8 National Guard members in a van saw a fight break out around 11 p.m. and got out to intervene. A person involved in the fight pulled a gun and, after the Guard members ordered him to drop it, fired at them, hitting one guardsman in the leg. Three Guard members returned fire and struck the suspect in the abdomen.
Both men were hospitalized with non life threatening injuries. The guardsman was treated and has since been released, and the suspect is in custody. Police haven’t determined which Guard member’s round hit the suspect, and no charges have been announced.
About 4,300 National Guard members from 11 states and D.C. were supporting the mission as of late August, one year after it began.

Ebrahim Rezaei, member of the National Security Committee in Iran's Parliament:
"The results of the elections in the Zionist regime have no effect on the savage nature of this regime, and therefore Gadi Eisenkot is no different from Netanyahu, the child killer. It is even possible that Eisenkot, in view of his dark past as the army commander of the Zionist regime, will commit more crimes against the Palestinian and Lebanese people."

The U.S. and UK sank the decommissioned frigate ex-USS Klakring (FFG 42) in the North Atlantic during Exercise Atlantic Thunder 2026, a live fire sinking exercise (SINKEX) led by US 6th Fleet, held last month.
Weapons fired at the hull:
- SM-6 from USS Paul Ignatius (DDG-117)
- Naval Strike Missile (NSM) from HMS Portland (F79)
- Naval Strike Missile from HMS Portland (F79)
- Sea Venom (Royal Navy)
- Mk 48 torpedo from USS Massachusetts (SSN-798)
U.S. and RAF P-8s and U.S. Air Force F-15Es also took part in the exercise.
Klakring was an Oliver Hazard Perry class frigate in active U.S. Navy service from 1983 to 2013. She was named for Rear Admiral Thomas Klakring, a three time Navy Cross recipient who commanded the submarine USS Guardfish in WWII.
The exercise was also the Royal Navy’s first live firing of its new ship killing missiles, NSM and Sea Venom, against a ship.
