Iranian media is teaching citizens how to protect themselves if the US launches a nuclear attack on Iran.
There is speculation that the US could use a tactical nuclear weapon against Iran's Pickaxe Mountain, as no conventional weapon can destroy facilities buried deep beneath it.

IRAN'S DANGEROUS WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY:
Tomorrow marks the Israeli elections that seem to have significant potential to unseat Bibi Netanyahu. After this, on November 3rd, comes the U.S. midterm elections…
There is EXACTLY a week between these two elections, and this is Iran’s opportunity to maximize their strategic positioning before a likely return to war between all sides.
Iran doesn’t want to significantly escalate BEFORE the Israeli elections, because this would give Netanyahu an excuse to escalate and potentially go so far as to cancel the Israeli elections altogether. Just from re-launching the war against Iran, particularly if he has a thinly-veiled “legitimate” excuse to do so, he will experience a rallying around the flag in Israel that would likely help him in the elections.
Iran doesn’t want to help Netanyahu.
But then there is a week before the U.S. elections… Israel has already held their own, so there is no longer a rationale for them to preemptively strike at Iran knowing full well that this would HURT Trump in the midterms, and realistically speaking… Trump may be the last TRULY Israel-first president Tel Aviv gets in Washington. They don’t want to sink him at the midterms for no reason.
And simultaneously, President Trump is DESPERATE to avoid anything that could possibly spike oil, gas, and diesel prices. And he CERTAINLY doesn’t want to bring the disastrous Iran War back to the top of the headlines right before America casts their votes that could turn Trump into a lame duck president.
So from October 27th to November 3rd…
Iran has a SERIOUS window to basically take free rein over the Middle East, particularly in the Strait of Hormuz, Gulf of Oman, and Persian Gulf… Oh, and that so-called “Omani Route” as well…
This is where Iran may seek to employ actions that many people are surprised they have not throughout the course of October.
Perhaps one of the most likely courses of action they may take is attempting to re-mine the Omani Route. Again, think of this from the Iranian perspective. This is… basically the ONLY way that the United States has been able to survive up to this point. And sure, they COULD launch strikes against these vessels… but would they? REALLY? And what happens if Iran then uses that as an excuse to escalate further, bringing oil and headlines with it?
Beyond this, it is likely that Iran may look to disrupt the Gulf of Oman ship-to-ship transfer point. If they WANTED to… Iran could almost certainly sink DOZENS of vessels that are conducting transfers and waiting for partner vessels here.
In addition, we have ALREADY seen Iran significantly expand the scope of their vessel targeting to include not just vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz under US air cover, but the FAR more easy to hit targets of vessels anchored in ports in the Persian Gulf, as well as vessels in the Gulf of Oman (but not the STS point).
This is the concern. Before the Israeli elections, Iran didn’t want to escalate significantly because any resumption or excuse to resume war would be greatly beneficial to Netanyahu. Something Iran certainly does not want. But then until the US Midterms on November 3rd, Trump would flip a LID if Israel launched preemptive strikes against Iran, and in parallel, Trump will DESPERATELY want to avoid any significant swings in the global energy markets, and will want to keep the Iran War as far from the headlines as physically possible.
This week-long stretch is Iran’s single best opportunity they will ever have to shift the strategic landscape as far in their favor as possible to prepare for a potential resumption of war that seems almost unavoidable at this point.

Iran REJECTS Qatar’s Latest Peace Proposal as UNACCEPTABLE as Missile Tests Continue
A senior Iranian official told Reuters Tehran received “unacceptable ideas and not an offer.”
Iran continues almost daily missile testing in preparation for WAR.
The proposed seven-day framework faces a major obstacle: Washington wants nuclear negotiations, while Tehran demands an end to the U.S. blockade and oil sanctions first. WE ARE IN DEADLOCK.

Netanyahu at 8:00 PM: "Hitting Iran is like cutting out cancer. Leave it and you die."Araghchi at 9:00 PM: "We knew you planned to kill us during the Pakistan ceasefire talks.We still came because We’re Iranians. We’re not scared to die for Iran.
Cowards strike from behind. We came for peace. Now the world sees who the real cancer is."
That’s real courage. This guy’s won billions of hearts with his guts, strategy, and calm. Mad respect

Iran's captured "spy drone" looks like a real American target drone, and it may be a sign the US is already poking Iran's air defenses before the big strikeWhat's found in the IRGC's footage:
- The aircraft looks like an MQM-170C Outlaw, a cheap US drone normally used as a flying target for training, nearly 11 feet long with a 16-foot wingspan and up to 8 hours in the air
- It has a camera-style window on its nose used for navigation, and it's missing the bright orange paint target drones usually carry
- The IRGC says it took control with electronic warfare west of the Strait of Hormuz and landed it intact while it was scouting coastal air defenses; no proof offered for either claim
- CENTCOM says the IRGC "repeatedly lied out of desperation," but did not deny losing one of these drones
- In June the Army awarded Griffon Aerospace nearly $68 million for a new Outlaw version, and the announcement first said it was “in support of Operation Epic Fury” before that line disappeared; another $133 million order followed in August
- Last month Iran recovered a US underwater drone intact, which Washington later confirmed lost to a malfunction
You might be asking why a cheap drone matters so much... strip out the propaganda and both sides still gave something away.
If the drone is real, the Pentagon has been buying these by the hundreds of millions for this war and flying them close enough to Iran’s coast to lose one.
And if Iran really pulled it down with electronic jamming instead of a missile, the IRGC just showed Washington the trick it plans to use when the bigger drones and bombers come after Nov. 3.
Either way, the fight over Hormuz is already being played out in cheap aircraft nobody admits to flying.
