🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — One U.S. official tells CNN that the U.S. strike against Qeshm Island was in response to Iran launching a surface-to-air missile at a U.S. fighter jet. A source familiar with the matter says the strikes were kept secret to not overstate the matter. A note that, much like the sporadic American strikes against Iran over the past few weeks, Iranian air defense operations against U.S. military aviation is not irregular. Iran has continued to carry out interceptions against American UAVs operating in the Strait of Hormuz area, and the last round of airstrikes against Qeshm Island a few days ago was likewise conducted in response to surface-to-air missile launches towards a fighter jet.

🇺🇸❌🇮🇷 — WSJ, citing U.S. officials, reports that U.S. forces struck Qeshm Island today. U.S. officials also tell WSJ that U.S. forces have conducted small-scale strikes against Iran, with some of the officials saying the strikes are defensive and intended to stop Iran from having freedom to strike shipping in the region. One U.S. official says the United States hasn't acknowledged the campaign in order to not signal any preparations to resume war against Iran. WSJ's report confirms Tabz's reporting over the past several days.

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺🇪🇺⚡️ — The U.S. will mediate negotiations between Ukraine and Russia in Abu Dhabi, UAE, on November 10–11, according to U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff. The talks will focus on post-war security arrangements, de-escalation, humanitarian issues and further steps toward a peace agreement. Meanwhile, U.S. negotiators will meet European and NATO representatives in Brussels this week to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine, Europe's post-war security framework and economic opportunities for Ukrainian reconstruction.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — President Trump is weighing three competing approaches toward Iran as divisions emerge within his administration and among regional allies, according to Axios. Vice President JD Vance and envoy Steve Witkoff favor a diplomatic agreement, warning that renewed military action may fail to improve the situation. Most Gulf countries support this approach. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth advocate resuming military operations, arguing that Iran cannot be trusted to negotiate or honor an agreement. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Secretary of State Marco Rubio favor maintaining maximum economic pressure without immediately pursuing either war or a deal. Ratcliffe believes prolonged economic hardship could force Tehran into greater concessions or generate enough domestic instability to trigger an uprising.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — President Trump told Axios that he is "in no rush" to decide whether to resume military operations against Iran, saying Washington will eventually take action but faces no immediate deadline. Trump claimed that U.S. economic pressure has severely weakened Iran, leaving it short of money and gasoline and increasing public frustration. He said negotiations with Tehran are progressing, although he accused Iranian officials of deliberately prolonging discussions. Trump nevertheless expressed confidence that Iran is more interested in reaching an agreement than ever before.

🇺🇸⚡️ — Reporter: Your approval rating is currently underwater. VP JD Vance: I don't think too much about that stuff. That's all based on polling that we've found a number of times in the past to have been untrue.
