“Thousands of trucks held up at Iran’s Bazargan and Rimdan border crossings, official says,” Iran International, 10-6-26.

This story is astounding.  “Former German spy chief arrested in case involving Iran nuclear intelligence,” Iran International, 10-6-26.  “Federal prosecutors said Hanning paid a former BND employee for secret documents and used classified information to prepare an analysis for a foreign intelligence service. Reuters said the employee allegedly supplied around 2,000 documents. ARD, citing joint reporting by WDR, NDR and Süddeutsche Zeitung, said the cache contained “extremely sensitive” reports on Iran’s nuclear program and Russia’s military, as well as information from foreign partner intelligence services.”  Great.  So Russia and Iran had a really good idea of the West’s assessment of Iran’s nuclear program.

Are we surprised?  “IRGC hails October 7 terror attack as one of history’s ‘greatest’ operations,” Iran International, 10-6-26.

“Houthi gains reversed at Bab al-Mandab, but Iran’s leverage runs deeper,” Iran International, 10-6-26.
