U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has relocated from his home to a military base following Iranian threats against his life, the NYT reports.
According to U.S. intelligence reports, Iran has reached a more advanced stage in its plans to strike American officials, with threats against Bessent contributing to those concerns.
So far, this is the first high-ranking official to be subjected to heightened security measures, likely in light of the intensifying campaign of economic pressure against Iran.

CENTCOM forces disabled a commercial vessel in the Gulf of Oman, Nov. 7, after the ship’s civilian crew ignored repeated warnings and attempted to violate the naval blockade against Iran multiple times. A U.S. military aircraft fired precision munitions at the stern of St. Kitts-flagged M/V Huda, disabling the ship after CENTCOM forces directed the crew to abandon targeted spaces. The cargo vessel tried to depart regional waters after visiting an Iranian port.

🔴🇮🇷🇺🇸JUST IN: Earlier tonight, explosions were heard in Bandar-e-Jask, southern Iran, with a plume of smoke observed near a IRGC Navy base.
It’s likely that a US drone/fighter jet conducted an airstrike on the naval base following the launch of ASCMs from the coast.

NEW: U.S. intelligence warns of possible Iranian plots to kill Americans overseas, with some reportedly reaching "advanced stages."
The reported threats extend beyond the Middle East, raising concerns about how widespread the targeting could be.

Iran's seaborne oil revenue could vanish by mid-December as a U.S. naval blockade drains Tehran's last floating crude inventory to zero, according to energy intelligence firm Kpler. The blockade has already denied Iran an estimated $25 billion in oil income.
But here's the problem for Washington: the financial pain is more likely to crush ordinary Iranians than the military apparatus the U.S. is trying to constrain. Gregory Brew, senior Iran and energy analyst at Eurasia Group, said there is a broad expectation that Tehran will slash non-military spending significantly while maintaining or even increasing military budgets. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps draws revenue from smuggling, black-market commerce, and sanctions-evasion networks that actually expand when sanctions tighten.
The real test comes in March, when Iran's new fiscal year begins and the regime must reconcile its budget with dramatically lower oil income. Brew warned of "economic unrest, potentially even economic turmoil" as spending cuts roll out.

Treasury launched Operation Economic Outcast to tighten the noose and block every potential source of revenue that funds the IRGC and murderous Iranian regime.
Less than two months later, we have decimated every layer of Iran’s oil lifeline. Its shadow tanker fleet stands depleted. Its main oil terminal sits empty. And its offshore reserves are now exhausted. Meanwhile, ordinary Iranians continue to endure a deepening economic crisis because the regime squanders its resources on violence and terrorism abroad instead of the prosperity of its people at home.
As President Trump takes action that his predecessors long deferred, the United States is no longer managing the Iranian threat. We are ending it.

Before: tankers filled Iran’s main oil-loading terminal.
After: no crude tankers in sight.
Kharg Island is now nothing more than a monument to the one thing the Iranian regime can still produce: failure.
The regime’s arrogance and belligerence continue to punish ordinary Iranians. Operation Economic Outcast is cutting off the regime’s oil lifeline, denying it resources to fund terrorism, nuclear procurement, and the lavish lifestyles of the IRGC elite.

Laith al Khazali is a designated terrorist and Iranian puppet whose militia AAH killed Americans and Iraqis. He is no better than ISIS, maybe even worse. It is outrageous but sadly not shocking that he has been appointed deputy PM of Iraq.
The people of Iraq in all of its components deserve better.

القوات الأمريكية تقوم بتعطيل سفينة شحن حاولت خرق الحصار.
تامبا، فلوريدا — قامت قوات القيادة المركزية الأمريكية #سنتكوم بتعطيل سفينة شحن تجارية في خليج عُمان يوم 10 أكتوبر/تشرين الاول، وذلك بعد أن تجاهل طاقم السفينة تحذيرات متكررة وحاول اختراق الحصار البحري المفروض حالياً على إيران.
استهدفت طائرة مقاتلة أمريكية مؤخرة السفينة أوشن موليكا (المعروفة أيضاً باسم "أريكا سن") والتي ترفع علم بنما، بذخيرة دقيقة التوجيه مما أدى إلى تعطيل نظام الدفع في السفينة بالكامل دون إلحاق الأذى بالطاقم. كانت سفينة الشحن الكبيرة تحاول عبور المياه الإقليمية بعد مغادرتها ميناءً إيرانياً في وقت سابق.
كانت قوات القيادة المركزية الأمريكية قد استأنفت تطبيق الحصار الأمريكي على جميع السفن الداخلة إلى الموانئ الإيرانية أو المغادرة منها في 14 يوليو/تموز. تم تعطيل أربع سفن تجارية وإجبار 135 سفينة أخرى على تغيير مسارها والعودة أدراجها خلال ثلاثة أشهر من التطبيق الصارم للحصار. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، دمرت القوات الأمريكية 10 ناقلات مرتبطة بالشبكة السرية التابعة للحرس الثوري الايراني والتي تبلغ قيمتها مليارات الدولارات خلال الفترة نفسها.
يُطلب من جميع البحارة الالتزام بتحذيرات الحصار الصادرة عن قوات القيادة المركزية الأمريكية. كما ينبغي على الأطقم مواصلة متابعة البث الخاص بـ "إشعارات البحارة" والتواصل مع القوات البحرية الأمريكية عبر القناة 16 المخصصة للاتصال المباشر بين السفن، عند الإبحار في خليج عُمان ومداخل مضيق هرمز.

🚫 CLAIM: Iranian state media has been pushing false reports that a U.S. Navy MH-60R helicopter crashed in the Red Sea after declaring an emergency last night.
✅ FACT: Reports of a downed U.S. Navy helicopter in the Red Sea are not true. All U.S. military aircraft and personnel across the Middle East are safe and accounted for.
