BREAKING: Russia has now reportedly started evacuating its personnel from Iran, with multiple Russian Il-76 military cargo aircraft landing at Bushehr Air Base to begin pulling all Russian staff from the nearby Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant ahead of a military escalation, per Iranian sources.
Sources suggest the flights are also delivering weapons. The last time Russia's Rosatom evacuated personnel at the plant was on February 28, the day the war started, removing 94 people in a single day. Subsequent waves pulled out 163 in late March and 198 in early April, before staff began returning in August as tensions eased.
The current evacuation signals Moscow expects the plant to be in the line of fire. Rosatom's CEO said as recently as October 8 that logistics were prepared for a quick pullout. The Il-76s suggest that assessment has changed—Russia might be expecting new developments in Iran.

Over $600 BILLION has been wiped out from Asian stocks.
Here's why Asian markets are falling:

2. President Trump said the US is "not negotiating" with Iran, escalating geopolitical uncertainty.
3. AI and semiconductor stocks fall across Asia as concerns grow over returns on massive AI spending.
3. Rising oil prices above $100 per barrel fuel inflation fears and concerns that central banks may keep interest rates higher for longer.

BREAKING: US military assets are being moved rapidly into place in preparation for an expected green light from Trump to resume attacks on Iran, per a US official to Drop Site.
"CENTCOM is putting all the pieces into place to renew major combat operations," the official said.
CENTCOM chief Adm. Bradley Cooper is among the US officials pushing for renewing the bombing campaign, the official adds.
Iran's internal intelligence assessment indicates a high likelihood that large-scale bombing begins before Tuesday's Israeli elections, a senior Iranian official tells Drop Site.

BREAKING: Israel reportedly planned a massive new attack on Iran for October 10, but Trump said no, according to the Financial Times.
The proposed operation reportedly involved several days of bombing targeting Iranian power plants, nuclear facilities and government sites.
The campaign was expected to be even more intense than February’s war.
Netanyahu is reportedly still pushing Trump to “finish the job” against Iran.
But for now, Washington appears unwilling to give the green light.
The White House reportedly says no US strikes will take place before November 3.
This raises a serious question: Is Washington delaying an attack, or trying to prevent another war?
One thing is clear: The threat of a much wider confrontation is clear.

BREAKING: Iran is deliberately prolonging talks with the US to deny Trump a political victory ahead of the November midterms, and is not looking for any deal, per three senior Iranian officials to Reuters.
"Iran is preparing for renewed Israeli and US attacks, not for a deal with America to end the war," the officials say.
"The clerical establishment is determined not to give Trump a political victory." The officials say Iran is convinced Trump is ready to restart major attacks to break the stalemate.
