Iran recently designated Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service, MI6, as a “hostile group” and declared the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force “terrorist organizations” in a decisive retaliatory measure against London’s relentless hostile actions against the Islamic Republic.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry announced the measures on November 1, 2026, citing Britain’s participation in the US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran and its decision to place the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) under the country’s so-called “State Threats Act 2026.”
The decisions were made under a resolution of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council and in response to Britain’s actions over the past year.
Under the first measure, MI6—formally the Secret Intelligence Service—has been designated a hostile group under Note 2 of Article 1 of Iran’s Law on Intensifying Punishment for Espionage and Cooperation with the Zionist regime and Hostile Countries against National Security and National Interests.
The designation took effect upon publication of the ministry’s statement, and the provisions of the law now apply to the British spy agency.
Under the second measure, the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force have been brought under Iran’s Law on Countermeasures against the United States’ Designation of the IRGC as a Terrorist Organization.
Both British military branches are consequently designated as terrorist organizations under Iranian legislation. … continue

The European Council has decided to send EU military personnel directly to Ukraine, despite numerous warnings from Moscow that European soldiers would be fair game for Russian strikes.
European nations are scrambling to participate in the ongoing Russia-US-Ukraine talks in Abu Dhabi, having been sidelined from several previous rounds.
On Monday, the Council extended the mandate of the EU Military Assistance Mission in support of Ukraine (EUMAM) until November 15, 2028, with a budget of nearly €300 million ($334 million).
“The Council also decided to establish a presence in Ukraine to ensure direct and effective coordination with the Ukrainian military authorities,” according to a press release from Brussels.
The move marks a change for EUMAM, which had previously only trained Ukrainian soldiers exclusively on EU territory.
According to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, European leaders are increasingly demanding an unconditional ceasefire in Ukraine to pave the way for military intervention.
“Europe’s plan is quite simple, and they make no secret of it: as soon as a ceasefire is reached, they intend to move ‘stabilization forces’ into the territory controlled by the Kiev regime,” he said at a press conference on Tuesday, addressing the EU demands aimed at the talks in Adu Dhabi.
Brussels is seeking an immediate freeze in the conflict “to buy time” for Kiev to recover from its military losses, Lavrov said, adding that Moscow would “not agree to this.”
European nations “sending troops into Ukraine” would mean “war with Russia,” Russian President Vladimir Putin warned in September. … Full article

Armenian opposition politician Arsen Gevorgyan has died in custody less than three weeks after being arrested. His party has accused the pro-EU authorities of political persecution and blamed them for the death.
Gevorgyan, 46, headed the opposition Strong Armenia party’s list in the October 25 election in Stepanavan, northern Armenia. He was arrested on vote-buying charges four days before polls opened.
His condition deteriorated at Nubarashen prison on Tuesday morning. Officials at the facility stated that an on-duty medical officer had provided first aid before an ambulance arrived. Gevorgyan was pronounced dead at around 8:30 AM.
Armenian Justice Minister Srbuhi Galyan said the politician had suffered a cardiac arrest but did not disclose the underlying cause or any other details. She also claimed that Gevorgyan had not raised any health concerns during his detention.
Strong Armenia demanded accountability, accusing the authorities of pursuing him on fabricated charges. “The person who orders the baseless smearing and detention of hundreds of people bears responsibility for the death of yet another opposition figure in prison,” the party said. … continue

Just two decades ago, most military analysts were convinced the United States was unrivaled in hypersonic weapons. Its Military Industrial Complex (MIC) was adamant about underestimating Russian advances, particularly the 9K720 “Iskander” system, whose 9M723 missiles were the first ground-based hypersonic weapons (although still usually listed as quasi-ballistic missiles). The NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict demonstrated the “Iskander-M’s” high maneuverability and speed, proving beyond a doubt that Moscow is around 15-20 years ahead in the development and deployment of hypersonics. In stark contrast, Washington DC’s attempts to ridicule Russian advances seem to have had a “karmic” effect, as the Pentagon has been going through one embarrassing failure after another for decades.
However, denigrating your opponent through the mainstream propaganda machine doesn’t slow down their actual technological advances. It could surely make them look bad (albeit not beyond the political West), but nothing more. Still, the US keeps doing it. The mainstream propaganda machine’s rather pathetic claims that Russia supposedly “stole” non-existent American hypersonic technologies became all the more ludicrous as the Pentagon’s failures to develop a single working weapon kept piling up. Despite running up to a dozen hypersonic weapons programs, the US has nothing to show for it. Back in March 2023, things took a turn for the worse after the cancellation of the AGM-183A, an air-launched missile carrying a hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV). Dubbed the ARRW (Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon), it was supposed to be the US entry point into the highly exclusive “hypersonic club”.
However, America’s failures didn’t end there. … continue

Press TV · November 9, 2026The proportion of Britons who view Israel as a serious threat to global peace has surged from 48 percent in 2005 to 78 percent in 2026, amid Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza and its war of aggression against Iran.
Nearly four in five Britons consider Israel a serious threat to world peace, according to a survey by the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen), highlighting growing public concern over Israel’s military actions in the West Asian region.
The British Social Attitudes survey found that 78 percent of respondents viewed Israel as a threat this spring, up from 48 percent in 2005 and 73 percent in autumn 2024, one year into Israel’s genocidal war on the besieged Gaza Strip.
Public criticism has intensified amid the ongoing genocide in the blockaded Palestinian territory and the US-Israeli war of aggression on Iran.

Labour MPs who backed the ban on Palestine Action now say the government pressured them into voting to list the direct-action group as a terrorist organisation, a decision that has led to almost 4,000 arrests of protesters over the past year and that several now admit has damaged the right to protest in Britain.
The Observer reported the MPs’ regret yesterday. It says ministers held a series of meetings in Westminster to bring MPs into line ahead of the Commons vote on 2 July last year. One senior backbencher said the security minister, Dan Jarvis, had assured Labour members that peaceful protesters would not be affected. “That is very clearly not the case,” the MP told the paper. “People who just go to a protest, a general Palestine protest, and hold up a sign, that is egregious overreach.” […]

A petition launched by left-wing political figures in the United Kingdom calling for an official inquiry into the country’s role in the Israeli regime’s genocide in Gaza has gathered enough signatures to trigger a parliamentary debate.
Former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, who currently leads Your Party, said in a post on his X account on Monday that the petition, which calls for a public inquiry into Britain’s “complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza,” had gathered more than 100,000 signatures.
The number means the petition, first launched by a senior Your Party official, has reached the threshold requiring the British Parliament to consider the issue for debate.
“Parliament must now make time for a debate. We are not going away until we get this inquiry. We want the truth, and we want justice,” Corbyn said in his post.
The petition calls for an official inquiry with the power to question officials and ministers involved in decisions related to Britain’s role in the Israeli genocidal war in Gaza, including decisions that facilitated the supply of weapons to the Israeli regime.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Americans and people across the West Asia region are fed up with Israel’s role in dragging successive US administrations into “forever wars.”
In a post on his X account on Monday, Araghchi said US President Donald Trump clearly recognized that the vast majority of Americans were “disgusted with Israel,” but appeared confused about the reasons behind the sentiment.
“Americans are evidently sick and tired of Israel bamboozling US administrations into Forever Wars,” he wrote.
The region was equally exhausted by the prolonged conflicts, the top Iranian diplomat emphasized.
Araghchi’s post comes in response to earlier remarks by the US president, who said in an interview with CBS News’ 60 Minutes on Sunday that a “great dislike” for Israel, public opposition to the war against Iran, and rising gasoline prices were the main reasons Republicans suffered sweeping losses in last week’s midterm elections. … Full article

Politicians break campaign promises with hardly any hesitation and usually they get away with it. Americans have come to put up with broken promises for so long, they hardly even seem to notice. Last week, however, voters noticed. They showed the Republican party just how angry they were over President Trump’s decision to attack Iran and how angry they were with Congress for abandoning its Constitutional authority over matters of war and peace.
The results were dramatic. Voters even turned Texas blue, as Democrats took firm control of both the House and Senate.
As President Trump’s promise of a quick war and a quick victory rapidly faded, the costs of the unnecessary and illegal attack thousands of miles away soon began to hit Americans hard. The predictable closure of the Hormuz Strait sent fuel costs through the roof, fanning the fires of inflation which hit everything transported by road, rail, or air.
For months the polls were clear: Americans’ top three concerns were high fuel prices, inflation, and the Iran war. All were related yet Republicans ignored voter concerns. Last Tuesday, voters had the final say. … continue

Newswise, cites a University of Utah article “How Anxiety Over Climate Change Affects Students,” to claim that that hundreds of undergraduates feel powerless, frustrated, and anxious about climate change, arguing that universities need more resources to help them cope. The anxiety may be real, but the implication that physical climate change is causing it is false, and unsupported by the study. The study itself points toward a different explanation: generalized anxiety, political ideology, and repeated exposure to alarming climate information in classrooms and online.
University of Utah researchers surveyed 547 students and found that 54 percent frequently or strongly felt powerless about climate change and 55 percent felt frustrated. Yet the researchers explicitly caution that their findings do not establish a causal connection between climate change and anxiety. One author acknowledges the relationship could run in either direction, with people already prone to generalized anxiety potentially being more susceptible to climate anxiety.
That distinction is crucial. A student saying, “I’m terrified of climate change” demonstrates that the student is frightened. It does not demonstrate that the physical climate caused the fear. … continue

Critics of Zelensky end up at secret torture sites, which Ukraine uses as a tool of reprisal, a source in the resistance movement in Odessa told Sputnik.
“It’s a case of ‘one hand washes the other’ – those who disagree with Zelensky’s regime and critics of Ukrainian law enforcers end up in these prisons. In fact, for this criticism they are reported, and the person is taken to this institution under unclear circumstances. For the authorities, they play the role of cleaners. These prisons are needed by the authorities, which is why they exist and why no one touches them,” a member of the Odessa resistance said.
One example is a Ukrainian torture site called the “Library” that had been discovered near Mariupol, the source said.
“Why aren’t criminal cases opened? Who in their right mind in today’s Ukraine would open a case against, say, ‘Azov’? Whoever opens one will end up in that prison themselves,” the person said.
Secret torture sites have existed in Ukraine since 2014— a fact Russian authorities have repeatedly highlighted. The issue struck a chord with Ukrainians on Monday, when a crowd gathered outside a house in a Kiev suburb where people were reportedly being held and beaten in the basement.
The Ukrainian authorities are trying to intimidate the population: a medic who arrived at the secret prison, an ambulance driver, and another woman have already been arrested, and other protest participants are being sought.

US President Donald Trump’s second term has exposed a reality starkly at odds with his promises to end crises and “achieve world peace,” as wars continue and economic difficulties deepen, Israeli reserve Major General Yitzhak Brik said.
In an article published by the Israeli newspaper Maariv, Brik noted that the West Asia region remains engulfed in an ongoing war, amid fears that the confrontation could spread to other parts of the world. Meanwhile, the global economy is deteriorating rather than experiencing the prosperity Trump had promised.
Brik argued that the outcome of the US midterm elections, in which Republicans lost control of Congress, reflected the extent of public dissatisfaction with Trump’s policies and declining confidence in his ability to resolve the crises he had pledged to address.
