Israel vows harsher attack as Iran hints at measured response:
Israel threatened a stronger retaliation should Iran launch further missile strikes, shortly after Iran's foreign minister hinted at a studied response to Israel's Saturday airstrikes.

Israel's airstrikes on Iranian military sites early Saturday damaged the country’s missile production capabilities in three sites and air defenses in at least two facilities, according to the analysis of satellite imagery.

However, Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) says the country used only "some of its capabilities" in the airstrikes launched in reaction to Tehran's Oct. 1 missile barrage, vowing to launch an even harsher attack in case of an Iranian response.

"If Iran makes the mistake and launches another barrage of missiles at Israel, we will once again know how to reach Iran, reach even with capabilities that we did not use this time, and hit very, very hard both the capabilities and places that we left aside this time," Herzi Halevi told the aircrews at the Ramon Air Base in southern Israel who took part in the strike on Iran.

Halevi emphasized that Israel held back certain capabilities in recent strikes, leaving key targets untouched. “We did this for a very simple reason — because we may be required to do it again. We didn’t finish this event; we are right in the middle of it."

His remarks came a few hours after Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran reserves the right to respond to the Israeli airstrikes but will not show an emotional reaction.

"Responding to Israel’s blatant aggression appropriately is our legal right, but the Islamic Republic will decide on this response itself, and we won’t allow anyone to drag us into emotional reactions," he said. Still, Araghchi stressed that Israel will pay a heavy price for the attack.

Israel, however, does not seem to be only target of Iran's threats following the Israeli air raids. Some Iranian hardliners are now warning that US interests could be targeted by Islamic Republic forces, asserting that Iran should view "interests, resources, and military personnel" as legitimate targets.

The United States has in recent days repeatedly warned Tehran against responding to the Israeli airstrikes, so that the tit-for-tat exchanges of fire would stop.

"Our message for Iran remains clear: Should it choose to undertake further aggressive actions against Israel or US personnel in the region, there will be severe consequences. We will not hesitate to act in self-defense," the US Ambassador to the United Nations tweeted Tuesday. "But let there be no confusion: The US does not want to see further escalation. We believe this should be the end of the direct exchange of fire between Israel and Iran."

Iranian Foreign Minister: Israel attacked Iran through an air corridor established by the United States in Iraq.
https://twitter.com/x/status/1851551543025156448

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi revealed that "Israel" used #US-controlled #Iraq airspace as well as of other countries to carry out its airstrikes on Iran last week.

#Araghchi further revealed that Iran is in contact with them and following up on the issue.

During the early hours of Saturday, October 26, the Israeli occupation launched an aerial aggression against #Iran, targeting its military facilities and bases. Preliminary reports and indications coined the attack as "weak", as minimal damage was inflicted.

Iran has long warned "Israel" against any violation of its sovereignty, but amid the aggression, Iran's defenses were able to not only intercept the attack but also successfully thwart it and defend its territory.."

It is expected that there will be a discussion chaired by the Prime Minister and with the participation of the Ministries of Finance, Defense and the IDF to conclude the defense budget in 2025. The Ministry of Defense will present the amount of the budget needed to continue supporting the war effort, for the rapid and necessary force building to deal with the threats in the various sectors, and the extent of the increase in the reconstruction and family budgets as a result from the scope of wounded and casualties.

Iranian media reproach Moscow for silence on Israel’s air strikes:
Iran’s government-controlled media have criticized Moscow—frequently hailed by officials as Iran’s 'strategic ally'—for not issuing an immediate and unequivocal condemnation of Israel’s October 26 air strikes on Iran.

At the UN Security Council’s emergency meeting Monday, Russia's ambassador, Vasily Nebenzya, praised Iran for showing “unprecedented restraint” and said the Israeli raid had not only violated international law but also would destabilize the already highly tense situation in West Asia.

Nebenzya also alleged that the Israeli strikes had been “coordinated with the US” and urged Israel to “refrain from the practice of provocative military actions in the Middle East but avoided the term “condemn” which bears diplomatic significance.

“As key members of BRICS of which Iran is also a member, Russia and China were expected to officially condemn the attack on our country given the propaganda about Tehran’s strategic relations with Moscow and Beijing,” an article entitled “Where Are Russia and China?” in another reformist newspaper, Ham-Mihan, wrote Tuesday.

Like Moscow's tepid response, Beijing also took three days to officially react to the strikes in a cautious tone.

“The Russians could have taken a stronger position … In matters one side of which Iran and the other side is another Middle Eastern country, whether Arab countries or the Israeli regime, Russians always tend to side with the other country,” Mahmoud Shouri, a Russia expert, told Ham-Mihan website in Tehran.

“Maybe their perception is that their relations with Iran will not be damaged whatever happens but their relations with the other side can be affected,” he added.

Lebanon: Israel could agree to ceasefire within days, Lebanese prime minister says:
JERUSALEM/BEIRUT, Oct 29 (Reuters) - Lebanon's prime minister expressed hope on Wednesday that a ceasefire deal with Israel would be announced within days as Israel's public broadcaster published what it said was a draft agreement providing for an initial 60-day truce.
The document, which broadcaster Kan said was a leaked proposal written by Washington, said Israel would withdraw its forces from Lebanon within the first week of the 60-day ceasefire. It largely aligned with details reported earlier by Reuters based on two sources familiar with the matter.

Lebanese caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati said he had not believed a deal would be possible until after Tuesday's U.S. presidential election. But he said he became more optimistic after speaking on Wednesday with U.S. envoy for the Middle East Amos Hochstein, who was due to travel to Israel on Thursday.
"Hochstein, during his call with me, suggested to me that we could reach an agreement before the end of the month and before Nov. 5th," Mikati told Lebanon's Al Jadeed television.

"We are doing everything we can and we should remain optimistic that in the coming hours or days, we will have a ceasefire," Mikati said.
The draft published by Kan was dated Saturday. When asked to comment, White House national security spokesperson Sean Savett said: "There are many reports and drafts circulating. They do not reflect the current state of negotiations.”
But Savett did not respond to a query on whether the version published by Kan was at least the basis for further negotiations.

The Israeli network said the draft had been presented to Israel's leaders. Israeli officials did not immediately comment.
Israel and Lebanese armed group Hezbollah have been fighting for the past year in parallel with Israel's war in Gaza after Hezbollah struck Israeli targets in solidarity with its ally Hamas in Gaza.
The conflict in Lebanon has dramatically escalated over the last five weeks, with most of the 2,800 deaths reported by the Lebanese health ministry for the past 12 months occurring in that period.

Hezbollah did not immediately comment on the leaked ceasefire proposal.
Earlier on Wednesday, the group's new leader, Naim Qassem, said the Iran-backed armed group would agree to a ceasefire within certain parameters if Israel wanted to stop the war, but that Israel had so far not agreed to any proposal that could be discussed.
It was Qassem's first speech as secretary-general, a day after Hezbollah announced his election to the post after Israel assassinated the group's longtime leader Hassan Nasrallah.

Canada mentioned the Islamic Republic, along with Russia and China, as a major cyber threat to its national security.

According to a new Canadian government assessment, the Islamic Republic's continued efforts to track and monitor opponents through cyberspace are a growing cybersecurity challenge for Canada and its allies.
