.@IsraelHayomEng : "Israel and the US are preparing an operational plan aimed at toppling the Iranian regime and ending the rule of fear imposed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The assessment is that a devastating direct strike against the Iranian leadership, similar to operations carried out in the past, combined with additional military measures not previously undertaken, could set in motion a process that would ultimately bring down the regime." israelhayom.com/2026/10/26/n…

🚨🇬🇧 El Gobierno británico acaba de decirle a la gente que guarde efectivo, agua y latas en casa. El Secretario de Defensa Wes Streeting apareció en BBC Newsnight y recomendó a todos los hogares que tengan provisiones para tres días. No es un simulacro ni un consejo de siempre: es la nueva campaña oficial “Be Ready”. El mensaje es directo. Si se cae la luz, si un ciberataque tumba los sistemas de pago o si un evento climático corta el agua y la electricidad, cada familia debe poder aguantar sola al menos 72 horas. Lo que pide el Gobierno • 3 litros de agua embotellada por persona al día. • Comida enlatada o que no necesite nevera ni cocinarse. • Efectivo en efectivo (por si las tarjetas y los cajeros dejan de funcionar). • Radio de pilas o a cuerda, linterna, mantas y botiquín. Streeting lo dijo sin rodeos: las amenazas “no son hipotéticas” y “están aquí”. Habló de “terrorismo patrocinado por Estados”, ciberataques cada vez más sofisticados y la posibilidad real de que los supermercados o los bancos no funcionen durante días. El Gobierno insiste en que “no hay un ataque específico en marcha”, pero también reconoce que el mundo es más peligroso e inestable que antes. En un país donde casi todo se paga con el móvil, el Estado acaba de admitir que el efectivo vuelve a ser un recurso de emergencia. Y que la dependencia total de internet, electricidad y cadenas de suministro globales tiene un punto de ruptura. La campaña ya circula fuerte. No es una orden militar, pero sí una señal clara: las autoridades ya no dan por hecho que los servicios esenciales van a estar siempre disponibles. Y le están pidiendo a la población que se prepare como si no lo fueran.

FORTRESS: The Pentagon is preparing every major U.S. military base to survive 90 days without outside support — no civilian power grid, no global supply chains, no outside fuel or water. The initiative, revealed in documents reviewed by Fox News Digital, envisions portable nuclear reactors, massive battery storage, and microgrids that can disconnect installations from civilian electricity entirely. Strategic reserves of munitions, fuel, critical minerals, and medical supplies would be stockpiled based on wartime consumption rates. Civilian factories are being pre-identified to shift to defense production during a crisis. Pentagon chief spokesperson Sean Parnell put it bluntly: "Power is combat now. Without electricity, you lose communications, water, logistics, assembly lines and just basic military command structures." Full story here foxnews.com/politics/inside-…

Via @ragipsoylu, the full text of the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement between Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and Pakistan has now been published, with the agreement being sent to the Turkish Parliament for ratification by the government. In the recent past, when amidst Houthi attacks, Saudi Arabia invoked the agreement, and Türkiye’s lacking response was questioned by critics, with Turkish officials responding by saying that the deal was not yet legally operative.
