According to Ynet News and Iran International reports, Tehran has secretly selected Mojtaba Khamenei, the second son of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, as Iran's next leader. The decision reportedly came during a confidential September 26 Assembly of Experts meeting, called due to the 85-year-old leader's alleged illness. Despite initial opposition, 60 assembly members unanimously approved the succession under pressure. Sources suggest power transfer might occur during the elder Khamenei's lifetime to ensure smooth transition.

In a dramatic revelation, Iran reportedly sent a confidential message to the United States prior to the 2024 presidential election, assuring Washington that it had no plans to assassinate President-elect Donald Trump. This assurance, delivered in mid-October, was Tehran's response to a stern warning from the U.S., which had made it clear that any attempt on the life of a former American official would be considered “an act of war.”

Iran's leadership signals openness to communication with the US following Trump's election victory, with Foreign Minister Araghchi confirming existing channels remain open. Despite fundamental differences and Trump's previous "maximum pressure" policy, Iranian President Pezeshkian advocates pragmatic engagement.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned Israel of proportional retaliation for any attack, particularly on nuclear sites, while reaffirming Iran’s commitment to the NPT. He criticized Israeli destabilization efforts and urged the IAEA to maintain a technical, non-political approach. Araghchi discussed limited prospects for reviving the JCPOA and emphasized Iran’s readiness for negotiation or confrontation. Regional trips showcased Iran’s support for resistance groups and countered anti-Iran propaganda amid Israeli threats.

In a bold and fiery declaration, Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, has commended Hezbollah for its powerful retaliation against Israeli attacks, warning that the Lebanese resistance group has the capacity to “flatten Israeli bases.” The statement comes amidst a deadly escalation in the conflict, with Hezbollah launching a barrage of missiles deep into Israeli territory, marking one of the fiercest assaults in recent history. Araghchi’s remarks, made on the sidelines of the 2024 United Nations General Assembly in New York, emphasised Hezbollah’s ability to strike critical Israeli targets with precision and devastating impact. The missile barrage, which struck cities across northern Israel, including Safed and Haifa, has exposed vulnerabilities in Israel’s once-reliable Iron Dome defence system.

Amid escalating violence in northern Gaza, Sgt. First Class (res.) Roi Sasson, 21, of the Kfir Brigade’s Nahshon Battalion, was killed during a clash with gunmen in Beit Lahiya. The battalion's commander, Lt. Col. Yoel Glickman, sustained serious injuries in the same encounter.
Sasson's death brings the total Israeli toll—including soldiers, police, and security officers—since the October 7, 2023, Hamas assault to 800. The ongoing IDF ground offensive has intensified, with over 1,300 Hamas operatives killed and more than 1,000 detained in northern Gaza.
