MintPress News | Iran Declare ‘War Without Limits’ On Israel, Unveil “Shocking” Weapons, As Casualties Mount | Oct. 23, 2026

Source: MintPress News youtube



Description:
On this episode of The Target, Robert Inlakesh breaks down the explosive developments shaking the region, with Israeli elections only days away.

Tehran has officially declared a doctrine of “war without limits,” with the IRGC announcing the deployment of the “Father of All Bombs” (FOAB) to target US and Zionist entity assets in reaction to Trump’s threats to use the Mother Of All Bombs (MOAB). Meanwhile, the Tel Aviv regime is conducting mock raids on Iran, signaling imminent war preparations. In the Levant, the Zionist entity is deepening its illegal occupation of southern Syria, committing horrific war crimes, including the execution of a man with disabilities.

Plus, we cover the stunning strikes by Ansar Allah in Yemen, who successfully blasted the Saudi Defence Ministry in Riyadh, crippled ARAMCO facilities, and struck multiple airports. Finally, we analyze the alleged US strike on southern Iran and Tehran’s massive missile wave response in the Strait of Hormuz.

Multiple fronts have ignited as West Asia is on the edge of an imminent all-out regional war, and the corporate media is downplaying the sheer scale of the escalation.

Stand with independent watchdog journalism.

The Grayzone | 'We are fighting for a just peace': top Yemeni official on Ansarulah's new war with Saudi Arabia | Oct. 23, 2026

Description:
The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal interviews Mohammad Al-Bukhaiti, a senior member of Ansarulah's political bureau and governor of the Yemeni province of Dhamar, about the Yemeni Armed Forces' war with Saudi Arabia and its successful advances across Yemeni territory previously controlled by its Saudi-backed rivals.

Speaking on October 20, 2026, Al-Bukhaiti confirmed that the Ansarulah-aligned Yemeni Armed Forces captured Mount Han overlooking the strategically significant city of Taiz.

This marks the latest advance in a military offensive that has seen Ansarulah, known popularly as the Houthis, seize new territory and hammer Saudi Arabia following the collapse of a four year ceasefire between Sanaa and Riyadh.

Ansarulah's success seems to have the House of Saud on the ropes, with Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman calling on the UK, Egypt, Syria and possibly even Israel for help in beating back the onslaught.

Description: 
Russia has made it clear there will be no concessions, with Sergei Ryabkov saying any deal must reflect the realities on the ground, Russia's constitution and a binding guarantee that Ukraine never joins NATO. Alexander explains why the Donbass for NATO trade is dead, why Moscow is playing for time before the Abu Dhabi talks, and what the strike on Kiev's South Bridge, the empty air defenses and the advances around Orekhov and Lyman reveal about where the conflict is heading.

On Judging Freedom, Lawrence Wilkerson tells Judge Napolitano that isolating Iran is beyond American capabilities, combined or separate, contrary to what Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has maintained. He says another US-Israeli attempt like 28 February would meet a dispersed Iranian command, and that Tel Aviv would then be hit by Iran and by Hezbollah.

Brian Jackson | The Dan Burisch story: Area 51, time travel and Project Looking Glass | Oct. 22, 2026

Source: Polarity Josh youtube



Description:
Was the US Government gifted technology capable of looking into the future? And could some extraterrestrial beings actually be humans travelling back through time?

In this episode I'm joined by UFO investigator Brian Jackson, creator of the Dan Burisch Archive, to explore one of the most extraordinary and controversial stories in UFO disclosure history.

Dan Burisch is an Area 51 whistleblower who claims to have worked at the highly classified S4 facility, conducting biological research on an extraterrestrial entity known as J-Rod. His testimony involves Project Looking Glass, advanced time travel technology, future humans, secret government programs, Majestic 12, and the manipulation of human timelines.

For over a decade, Brian Jackson has investigated the Dan Burisch story, collecting rare interviews, documents, whistleblower testimony, and historical evidence to preserve this fascinating case.

Together, we explore the mysteries surrounding Area 51, Project Aquarius, extraterrestrial contact, alien biology, human consciousness, telepathic communication, and the possibility of hidden technologies that could fundamentally change our understanding of reality.

How much of Dan Burisch's incredible testimony can be verified, and what has Brian uncovered through his investigation? 

Larry Johnson | China signed off. Trump reportedly favors a first strike on Iran. Pakistan backs Iran, warns MBS | Transition Protocol | Oct. 22, 2026

Source: Transition Protocol youtube



Description:
A senior Pakistani source tells host Zulfiqar Ali that Pakistan has picked Iran's side against US and Saudi pressure — after consulting Beijing — and that "nobody can save MBS". Live, Larry Johnson reads Haaretz's report that Washington now favours a preemptive strike on Iran.

01:51 Pakistan's choice: "stand firmly on the side of Iran" — per a Pakistani insider.
02:45 "Six corridors… back to where they were."
04:52 The message to MBS.
06:52 The first strike, as Haaretz reports it — and the US embassy order Larry Johnson reads as a war signal.
10:43 "Nothing left": what was said in Tehran about an Israeli nuclear strike — reported by the host's source.

What you'll learn: which side Pakistan has taken and who signed off on it · why Pakistan has told MBS to choose · what Haaretz reported about a US preemptive strike · what the Gulf embassy order does and does not mean · what closing both Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb would cost the world.

Sourcing note: Pakistan's decision, the consultation with China's Wang Yi, the message to MBS and the remark in Tehran are our host's own sourcing from a senior Pakistani source and cannot be independently verified. 

Public record: Field Marshal Munir was in Tehran on 20–21 October and met SNSC Secretary Mohsen Rezaei; Pakistan reopened its Taftan and Gabd–Rimdan crossings with Iran on 20 October after closing them on 17 October, citing security; LPG imports remained blocked. 

The "six corridors" are the source's account. Haaretz's correspondent reported an apparent US shift toward a preemptive strike, citing White House sources — that is the "reportedly" in our title; Haaretz also reported the same day that Trump had blocked an early-October strike. 

Reuters reports the US ordered some embassy staff and families out of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Jordan, with US officials citing Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia; no report lists Kuwait. Fars reported explosions of unknown origin in Sirik, southern Iran — not Iraq. Pakistan, Türkiye, Qatar and Indonesia signed the "Badr" defence-industry MoU in Doha on 21 October. 

The New Atlas | US preparing for more strikes on Iran: using "Leave it to Bibi" to pass the blame | Oct. 22, 2026

Source: The New Atlas youtube



Description:
- The Western media is once again attempting to sell the notion that Israel, not the US, is pushing for war with Iran and bringing a "reluctant" US along unwillingly;

- This is a deliberate policy published in papers as early as 2009 discussing the use of US proxy Israel to start a war with Iran and ultimately absorb most of the blame and retaliation for doing so;

- The US has repeatedly used this strategy under the previous Biden and now Trump administrations - and even repeatedly under the current Trump administration;

- The notion the US is planning strikes on Iran around "elections" is betrayed by the material reality elections do not effect US foreign policy and especially not policy regarding Iran - as continuity of agenda has continued against Iran for 26 straight years regardless of who controlled Congress or sat in the White House;

- And no, just because Israel is a proxy of the US doesn't mean it is not just as guilty as the US itself for the crimes its government, military, intelligence services, and their civilian supporters commit as proxies of US power;

Nima Alkhorshid says the Wall Street Journal and Kpler claim that 23 million barrels of crude oil are flowing through the Strait of Hormuz every 24 hours. Patrick Henningsen says he finds a return to pre-war volumes impossible, calls the figure likely disinformation ahead of the US elections, and says a Brent futures price near $108 a barrel is well below the $150 to $200 he says it costs to move a barrel from the dock into a refinery.

Alexander Mercouris | Putin Trashes EU/Kiev Offer In Witkoff Meeting; No Truce November Talks; Russia To Bomb Kiev Bridge | Oct. 21, 2026

Source: Alexander Mercouris youtube



Description: 
Vladimir Putin has dismissed the Oslo plan Steve Witkoff carried to St Petersburg, telling him the European and Kiev proposals offered little useful for ending the Ukraine conflict. Alexander explains why forcing Russia to choose between Donbas and Ukraine staying out of NATO was always doomed, why the November 10 trilateral talks will come with no ceasefire, and why recent Russian glide bomb strikes near the Kiev and Dnipro bridges look like rehearsals for something bigger as forces close in on Zaporozhye. With Zelensky refusing every concession and Biletsky now running the Donbas battle, is a negotiated settlement still possible at all?

France is in flames and Macron has left the country, but in this episode we argue this is not just a French crisis, it is a European one rooted in a Brussels center that now controls borders, migration, the euro, foreign policy and Project Ukraine. From Orban and Georgescu to Meloni, Le Pen, Merz and the AfD, we explain why national governments can no longer answer to their own voters, and why Macron may already have his eyes on the European Central Bank as Lagarde moves on.
