WHY HORMUZ IS NOT GOING BACK TO NORMAL, AND WHAT THAT COSTS INDIA • Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Iran's lead negotiator, said the Strait of Hormuz will never return to its pre war status and that the ball is now in the American court • He named a lack of trust in the United States as the obstacle to an agreement • Tehran has rejected a US proposal to transfer its stockpile of 60 percent enriched uranium to a third country • US Central Command says its forces are keeping Hormuz open and enforcing a naval blockade against Iran • Iran is reportedly considering replacing Ghalibaf as chief negotiator with Mohsen Rezaei, who this week threatened bases from West Asia to Europe • India's exposure is direct, Hormuz carries a large share of Indian crude and LPG imports and Indian seafarers crew a significant share of Gulf tanker traffic • A strait that stays open under naval escort is not the same as a strait that is open, and the difference shows up in freight and insurance rates before it shows up in supply @CENTCOM @MEAIndia @IndianDiplomacy #Hormuz #EnergySecurity #Iran

SUMMARY OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW | 12 NOVEMBER 2026 • The Abu Dhabi talks ended without a breakthrough, though Ukrainian negotiator Rustem Umerov said the sides agreed a large-scale prisoner exchange. Jared Kushner said the envoys saw "some openings and some opportunities". He and Steve Witkoff arrived in Moscow early today, and will brief Zelensky in Dublin before an informal EU leaders' meeting on 13 November. • Russia attacked Kyiv with ballistic missiles hours after the talks closed, and damaged energy infrastructure in Khmelnytskyi Oblast, causing emergency outages in the Shepetivka district. • Ukrainian drones struck Russia's Omsk refinery in Siberia in an eight hour attack. The Gazprom facility lies about 2,500 km from Ukraine and processes over 21 million tonnes of crude a year. • The USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier strike group is moving toward the Northern Arabian Sea, taking the number of US carrier groups in the area to three. Israel has ordered its military to step up preparations for a possible strike on Iran, while Gadi Eisenkot urged caretaker Prime Minister Netanyahu to show restraint. • Brent January futures fell 1.54 percent to 91.22 dollars and WTI December 1.5 percent to 85.26, heading toward a two month low as Middle East output rises. Brent remains up more than 50 percent this year. #WW3 #Ukraine #Iran
SUMMARY OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW | 11 NOVEMBER 2026 • Rubio said at the G7 in Paris that the economic campaign against Iran is working so well that "there is no need for major combat operations", while warning that if Iran crosses red lines the US military "stands ready" and Tehran would pay a "terrible price". Trump said the war is "militarily, effectively over" and that resuming strikes is "highly unlikely", with forces still "locked and loaded". • The US, Russia and Ukraine closed the first day of talks in Abu Dhabi, covering humanitarian and de-escalation steps. Rubio said security guarantees for Ukraine must also be acceptable to Russia. Moscow is seeking territorial concessions, Kyiv has ruled them out. • Brent crude briefly fell below 90 dollars a barrel for the first time since late August. US crude dropped 2.2 percent to 84.94 dollars. • The US Justice Department charged three alleged Iran-backed operatives over the September attempt on RAF Fairford. FBI Director Kash Patel linked them to nearly 20 attempted attacks. France separately blamed Iran for an October cyberattack that hit refrigeration at around 700 supermarkets, which Iran denies. • Russian drones killed two municipal workers in Kramatorsk, and Ukrainian drones reportedly struck the Ust-Luga port in Leningrad Oblast overnight. Ukraine's General Staff put total Russian losses at 1,614,180 since February 2022, a figure Moscow disputes. #WW3 #Iran #Ukraine

DAILY ISRAEL-IRAN WAR BRIEF | 12 NOVEMBER 2026 • Iran's Assembly of Experts said reviewing withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and revising the country's defence doctrine have become an "unavoidable necessity" and a public and national demand. • Trump said Washington no longer needs an agreement with Iran, asserting that the United States controls Tehran's money and the Strait of Hormuz. • Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf rejected Rubio's description of Tehran's seven conditions as excessive, calling them reasonable measures required before negotiations can begin. • Turkish President Erdogan called for a swift end to the conflict between Iran and the United States and urged that diplomacy be given a chance, meeting Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. • The IRGC Navy said two supertankers carrying more than 4 million barrels of oil were stopped after explosions while crossing an unauthorised southern route through the Strait of Hormuz. The account is Iran's own and is unverified. #Iran #NPT #Hormuz
DAILY ISRAEL-IRAN WAR BRIEF | 11 NOVEMBER 2026 • Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei said Iran will not allow "even a single particle" of enriched nuclear material to leave the country, rejecting a US-backed proposal to move its 60 percent enriched uranium stockpile to Russia. • Iran has rejected a US request for direct talks until Washington gives its final response to Tehran's proposal, according to an adviser to parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. • The Saudi-led coalition said it destroyed three Houthi facilities in Sana'a and Bani Matar: a plant assembling ballistic missile components, a chemical factory producing solid rocket fuel, and an electronics workshop supporting missile systems. • Saudi Arabia told OPEC it raised October output to 10.6 million barrels a day, restoring pre-war levels, with part of the increase going into storage. • The IRGC Navy said at least three oil tankers attempting to cross an unauthorised route through the Strait of Hormuz struck naval mines and suffered large explosions. The account is Iran's own and is unverified. #Iran #Hormuz #OPE

ISRO CLEARS THE CRYOGENIC ENGINE FOR GSLV-F19 AND NVS-04 • ISRO conducted the flight acceptance test of the cryogenic engine for the next GSLV mission on 5 November 2026 • The engine ran for 200 seconds at the ISRO Propulsion Complex, Mahendragiri • Both the Main Engine and the Gas Generator ignited as expected, with steady state performance matching nominal predictions • Overall performance was satisfactory and consistent with pre test predictions, and the engine is cleared for installation in the GSLV-F19 cryogenic stage • GSLV-F19 will launch NVS-04, the next satellite of the NavIC navigation constellation • It follows GSLV-F18 and NVS-03, which brought NavIC back to full operational strength on 30 October 2026 • NavIC is India's own positioning system, which is why every GSLV cryogenic stage is a strategic item and not just a launch milestone @isro #ISRO #NavIC #GSLV

THE STRAIT OF MALACCA: ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST IMPORTANT MARITIME CHOKEPOINTS & INDIA'S STRATEGIC STAKES 1/10 One narrow waterway carries more oil than any other maritime chokepoint in the world. The Strait of Malacca, stretching approximately 930 km, connects the Indian Ocean with the South China Sea. At its southern end, the Singapore Strait narrows significantly near Phillips Channel. More than a shipping route, it is a critical

9/10 For India, a secure Strait of Malacca means safer energy imports, more reliable trade routes and a stable Indo-Pacific. Any major disruption could increase shipping costs, affect supply chains and create economic pressure across Asia, including India. A credible maritime presence, regional partnerships and strong Maritime Domain Awareness are therefore strategic priorities.

10/10 The Strait of Malacca will remain one of the world's most consequential maritime chokepoints for decades. Its security depends first on the littoral states, supported by regional mechanisms such as the Information Fusion Centre and constructive engagement from partners like India. Strengthening maritime awareness around the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and deepening regional partnerships is the responsible way forward. #MalaccaStrait #IndoPacific #MaritimeSecurity #IndianNavy @indiatoasean
