Iran's Khamenei meets military brass as U.S. said to plot post-midterm strikes

Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei met with senior commanders of Iran’s armed forces to issue what his office described as “important and strategic orders,” according to a statement on his official X account. While specific details of these directives have not yet been released, Haaretz reports that the Supreme Leader has ordered the military to update its target list of Israeli and U.S. assets.

This follows a report from MS NOW stating that Washington is preparing to resume strikes as early as November 4, the day after the U.S. midterm elections.

In a separate development, judiciary chief Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei called for rapid legal proceedings against individuals accused of collaborating with enemies. Speaking on state broadcaster IRIB, Mohseni-Ejei stated that cases involving alleged betrayal and the sharing of information with hostile states must be handled with precision and justice. Middle East Eye notes these remarks occur during a crackdown following the start of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran in February.
