IRGC raises possible nuclear doctrine revision
The IRGC said:
“If the country’s leadership decides to revise its nuclear doctrine, the necessary preparations will be made. The assets of hostile countries are not confined to their geographical borders. Their material and non-material assets are within our reach”.
The U.S. is offering rewards of up to $20 million, along with possible relocation, for information about Iran’s nuclear program. The offer covers information on nuclear facilities, equipment, personnel, scientists and their movements.
An Iranian health official said authorities are distributing iodine tablets to communities within two to three kilometers of nuclear facilities as part of wartime preparedness, The Times reported.
The official did not specify when the latest distribution began or identify which facilities are covered.
Iran reportedly requests Russian S-400 systems
Iranian Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei delivered a personal letter from Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei to Russian President Putin at the Kremlin on November 5, The Telegraph reported.
A senior Iranian official described a request for Russian S-400 air defense systems as the letter’s central demand. The Kremlin confirmed that Rezaei handed Putin a message from Khamenei during the Moscow visit.
Separately, Fox News reported that Russia secretly bolstered Iran’s missile capabilities ahead of Iran’s war with the U.S., citing internal Russian defense documents obtained by Dallas Analytics.
The documents detail a contract for 90 launchers capable of firing precision-guided missiles, with deliveries scheduled from late 2024 through December 2025. The records do not confirm whether the launchers were ultimately delivered to Iran.
Fox News said the findings appear to contradict Trump’s repeated claims that Russia was not assisting Iran.
Fake bomb threats disrupt flights across Europe

Who sent the threats and what they hoped to achieve remain unknown.
