Tehran

Kind of echoing your points as well, just wanted to update the oil picture.

Crude oil has dropped as the Saudi defense minister is to meet with Iran's president and National Security Council chief in Tehran.

to hopefully de-escalate things.

Oil prices have continued to fall over the weekend.

and how Israel got us into all these wars.

I remember November 4th, 1979, when the terrorists of the Islamic Revolution in Tehran attacked our embassy.

I think that's where it started 47, 48 years ago, but never mind that.

Uh-uh-uh.

The memo written by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton to Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the lethal plotting efforts by the Iranians against U.S. citizens have reached advanced stages in both the Middle East and certain other countries.

That indicates that the powers that be in Tehran have already decided that they want to move forward in these type of terrorist attacks against our diplomats overseas and potentially our citizens overseas.

It's important to point out that going after civilians, going after diplomatic targets is not only an act of war, it's an act of terrorism.

The memo comes as the U.S. draws down personnel at U.S. embassies in Lebanon, Qatar, the U.A., and Jordan, also ordering the evacuation of nonessential personnel and their families in Saudi Arabia, the threats prompting speculation that the U.S. and Israel could resume the war soon.

Her father has had a longtime adversarial relationship with President Trump.

High-level delegations from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey are in Tehran for talks aimed at preventing renewed fighting in the Iran war.

Officials say the discussions also addressed Yemen and attacks by Iran-backed Houthi rebels.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says saber-rattling must end and the sides must find a diplomatic way to end this.

Something strange is happening in Iran.

Tehran just threatened to launch new strikes on U.S. military bases and economic targets.

How could that be? I thought we had all their missiles and their Navy and their Air Force and we'd emasculated

them.

Being backed up, they've attacked several ships.

The story from CNN, the threats come as Iran increases the frequency and scale of its attacks on commercial ships operating the Strait of Hormuz under U.S. naval protection.

And as Tehran claims to have recently attacked seven commercial vessels in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.

A report from the Wall Street Journal published Friday describes how Iran is taking steps to retaliate against the next round of American attacks by expanding its targets to include airports, energy infrastructure, pipelines, and even undersea communications infrastructure throughout the Gulf.

This is from Saudi Arabia, from Turkey and from Pakistan.

They have gathered together and they are going to Tehran.

They are going to try and talk with the Iranians about Trump and about the war.

This is ahead of the midterms.

Iran warned that it would adopt a broader military strategy if the U.S. resumes attacks.

Tehran also said it intends to assert control over the Strait of Hormuz while allowing transit for countries that it considers friendly.

The United States and Israel were reportedly preparing for the possibility of renewed strikes after the elections.

In turn, Iran threatened to broaden strikes to include economic and civilian targets if U.S. launches fresh attacks.

And therefore, if Saudi Arabia has to, which is one of the biggest producers of hydrocarbons in the world, If they have their oil infrastructure hit, then we're going to see significant tightening of supplies and then lead to higher prices.

So this morning, we heard that Saudi officials, their defense minister, Pakistani's army chief, Pakistan's army chief and the Turkish army, intelligence minister in Tehran to have talks with Iran.

You know, as you know, Iran is alleged to have been to be allied with the Houthis.

And the idea is that this meeting is basically to try and find a pathway to de-escalate the conflict that is happening in Yemen and possibly reduce the risks of further disruption to global oil markets, energy markets.
