Iran has “substantially increased” attempts to kill American diplomats and officials in the Middle East, US intelligence has found.

An unclassified memo from Jay Clayton, the US director of national intelligence, to Marco Rubio, the secretary of state, warned that some of the “lethal plotting efforts” had reached “advanced stages”.

US officials told Axios, which first obtained the one-page memo, that the intelligence spurred the US to withdraw non-essential staff and their families from its embassy and several consulates in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday.

Citing the threats from Iran and the Houthis, the US state department announced it would also reduce staffing at embassies in Jordan, Lebanon, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, but unlike in Saudi Arabia, diplomats would not be required to leave.

The leader of an activist group behind pro-Palestine protests in the UK met with two individuals later sanctioned over their links to Iran, The Telegraph can reveal.

In 2014, Medea Benjamin, the co-founder of anti-war organisation Code Pink, was in contact with men later identified by US officials as facilitators for the Islamic Republic’s foreign intelligence. They were sanctioned by the US treasury five years later.

An intelligence source claimed Ms Benjamin had been viewed by Iran as an “asset” to the regime by pushing “Iran’s influence and narratives” in both the US and UK.

Iran has exhausted the offshore oil reserves that sustained its sales to China during the war, according to one energy-data firm, eliminating a critical financial cushion as a U.S. naval blockade intensifies pressure on its struggling economy.

The reserves were fully depleted by mid-October, according to analysts at energy data company Kpler, although other trackers offered varying estimates of the remaining supplies, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.

“There’s no more oil to discharge to China anymore,” Homayoun Falakshahi, Kpler’s head of crude-oil analysis, said.

It was choking off Japan’s imports of oil in the 1930s that caused them to attack Pearl Harbor.

Federal authorities arrested a 17-year-old in Texas for allegedly plotting to murder Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, and carry out a terrorist attack on behalf of ISIS.

According to local reports, the unidentified teenager had been on the FBI’s radar for some time, but after he acquired a firearm, agents arrested him on Oct. 5. The FBI suspects the accused of plotting to murder the congressman this past Saturday when the congressman was supposed to judge a chili cook-off in McKinney, Texas.

A Palestinian teacher working for the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees says a school administrator threatened to cut out her tongue after she challenged lessons she said encouraged hatred of Jews and glorified Hamas.

The 40-year-old geography teacher told the New York Post in an interview published Monday that an administrator confronted her with scissors days after she argued with a colleague about teaching girls.

“[The school official] told me, ‘We’ll make you wish for death, and if you don’t stop arguing, we will cut your tongue,'” she recalled through a translator.

All the fiends of Hell have been loosed, and are now rampaging through the cities of France. Yesterday afternoon a mob set fire to the Mairie, or town hall, of Limoges. The fire raged on into the night, and eventually the building’s iconic bell tower toppled into the burning ruins.

Like the fall of the steeple of Notre Dame in Paris, the moment serves as a symbolic reminder that the great, ancient civilization known as France is rapidly approaching its smoldering finale.

I suppose you could say that the Mairie had a good run. After all, it was built in 1883, which means it’s almost twice as old as I am. But still, it breaks my heart to see that venerable clocher come down. It’s not as if any more like it will be built in France, or elsewhere in Western Europe. The grand architecture that we see now is all we’ll ever get.

Ironically enough, Limoges is a well-known leftist bastion, and its citizens routinely vote for socialists and communists. Last night the earnest citadins of Limoges got what they voted for, good and hard.

One day after federal agents raided Ilhan Omar’s Washington home, we lear that her congressional staff got her birth year changed in Minnesota’s official legislative records in May 2019, moving it from 1981 to 1982 – months after she was sworn into Congress. Alpha News was first to the punchbowl on this one last December. In light of the federal raid on Omar’s DC home… well, check it out.

Omar has said she derived citizenship through her father, Nur Omar Mohamed, when he naturalized in 2000, and the law then required the child to be under 18 when the parent naturalized. Born in 1981, she’d have been an adult all of 2000 – the year she says she became a citizen at 17, the NY Post reports.

For her two years in the Minnesota House and more than four months into her congressional term, the state’s Legislative Reference Library listed her birthday as Oct. 4, 1981, the same date carried by Wikipedia, the BBC and Congress’s own Biographical Directory.

Today the king of Spain, Felipe VI, paid a visit to Ceuta, the Spanish enclave in North Africa adjacent to Morocco. The king made a point of visiting a Christian cemetery to honor Spanish soldiers who were killed fighting the Moors during the Reconquista.

Haha, just kidding! Of course the king didn’t pay his respects to the heroes of Spanish history. No, instead he made a point of visiting a Muslim cemetery, where more than 140 of the recent invaders who drowned trying to enter Ceuta are buried.

The featured photos for tonight’s report show two of the “migrants” in the camp on the beach at Ceuta engaged in specifically Islamic activities: reading the Koran and practicing salat, or Islamic prayer. It’s a reminder that Morocco still doesn’t recognize Spanish sovereignty over the enclave/exclave. Muslims consider the territory to be part of the Ummah, subject to waqfrules. The young man praying inside a circle of drink bottles has created a rudimentary mosque, and by praying in it he is asserting its status as a piece of Islamic territory.

A recent documentary by former Virginia congressman Nick Freitas titled “The Immigration Crisis That Will Destroy the West” warns viewers about the risks created by the Islamification of Western civilization.

The film focuses primarily on the negative impacts of cultural norms related to the treatment of women and girls, with a reviewer noting allegations of “a significant problem of organized, industrial-scale rapes being conducted by mostly Muslim men” in the UK.

Relatedly, another recent column noted that “seven of the top 10 countries with the highest prevalence of child marriage have a Muslim-majority,” and went on to ask: “Why does Islam appear so frequently in discussions surrounding religious persecution, terrorism, and certain forms of sexual violence?” Similar concerns have also been raised about the cultural roots of rampant fraud we’ve seen in places like Minneapolis.

And even more recent fiery riots in France have left some “pointing to second and third-generation immigrant youths–many from Muslim North African and sub-Saharan backgrounds–as the core of the violence.”

Perhaps pulling all the foregoing together, Douglas Murray argues that “the West remain[s] at war with Islamic radicals.”

Importantly, while conservatives cherish individual liberty and religious freedom, those commitments are perverted when it is claimed that only a nihilistic multiculturalism properly embodies those values.

It seems that the European Parliament has finally decided to “fight” the Muslim Brotherhood. Now that the horse has long since been stolen, the EU wants to close the barn door!

I can’t tell you how excited that makes me.

Perhaps coincidentally, the news from Strasbourg comes at the same time as news that Abdul El-Sayed has been revealed as a Muslim Brotherhood operative. For our non-American readers, Mr. El-Sayed is the far-left (Democrat) candidate for the Senate to represent Michigan in next month’s election. As The Washington Free Beacon reported, Mr. El-Sayed recently denied in an interview (twice) that he was in any way involved with the Ikhwan, but its reporter discovered posts by his sister from social media in 2012 and 2013 where she had said that he and the whole family were affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood.

I don’t know how one can reconcile those two contradictory statements. After all, everyone knows that devout Muslims always tell the truth when speaking to infidels.

It may be too little, too late, but the EP is finally attempting to deal with the “Islamist” Ikhwan problem.

Al-Qaida and its supporters are threatening to kill Americans, including U.S. soldiers, and hijack airplanes if Fort Hood mass murderer Nidal Hasan is executed.

Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula warned Monday that it would execute American hostages in retaliation for the scheduled Dec. 3 execution of Hasan, the former Army major who murdered 13 people and wounded 32 others at the Texas Army base in 2009, the Washington Examiner reported.

“The day America makes this decision,” the Islamic terrorist organization said in a statement, “it will have made a decision to execute whoever among you falls captive to us.”

Pro-terrorist activist Mahmoud Khalil was asked by CNN the other day if he would condemn Hamas. He, of course, would not, calling the question “silly” and “disingenuous.” It is not “black and white,” he whined.

Even if you oppose Israel’s reaction to the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, the answer is still black and white for any person with a conscience. Certainly, it should be for any person who wants to become a naturalized citizen of the United States. After all, Hamas is designated by the State Department as a terrorist organization for, among other things, murdering Americans.

But the fact that Khalil can’t condemn Hamas—and anyone paying attention understands that he supports the terrorist army—not only tells us that he deserves to be deported but also that it’s imperative we deport him.

Federal and Louisiana state authorities dismantled a network of Hamas financiers in late September who were accused of committing fraud against the state’s Medicaid program totaling more than $224,000 between 2021 and 2025.

In Muslim countries (and in some infidel countries that habitually appease their Muslim minorities), every day, five times a day, a muezzin ululates the adhan, the Islamic call to prayer, from a minaret. The call includes La illaha ila Allah, wa Muhammadun rasul Allah(“There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah”), which is the basic short form of the shahada, the Islamic declaration of faith. It also includes the well-known proclamation Allahu akhbar (“Allah is greater”), known in Arabic as the takbir.

Both of those assertions of faith have recently been heard in Christian churches in German-speaking parts of Europe. Last November an imam was invited to yodel the adhan in a church in Baden-Württemberg. Earlier this week a group of “teenagers” invited themselves into a church in Vienna to shout out the takbir while a priest was saying mass.

In either case, whether the adhan and the takbir were invited or uninvited, once they have been uttered inside a church, that church has become a mosque. The same process took place — albeit after violent conquests — at the Mezquita (formerly the Cathedral) in Cordoba, and at the Cathedral of Hagia Sophia in Constantinople, which became the Grand Mosque of Istanbul. These church-to-mosque conversions in 21st-century Europe are occurring without bloodshed, because the formerly Christian infidels of Europe are such gullible fools.

Once the shahada has been publicly declared inside a structure, and Muslims have prayed there, the property becomes waqf, a charitable endowment that is owned by the whole of Islam. Its status as such is granted in perpetuity, and cannot be revoked. This is the way Muslims understand the situation, even if their foolish Western infidel patsies have no idea what has happened. This is also why the Iberian Peninsula is viewed as the lost Islamic territory of Al-Andalus. Muslims consider it to have been usurped by the filthy kuffar, and it must be reclaimed by the faithful using any means necessary.

Such is the background of this week’s incident in the church in Vienna. As it happens, it is also the background of the current invasion of Ceuta.

El-Sayed, as we all know, is the Great Muslim Hope for the Democrats. He debuted as just about the perfect candidate for the Senate – photogenic, a professional, just radical enough for the youth vote, and with no obvious baggage to excuse.

But his campaign wrongfooted itself at the very outset by attempting to cozy up to Hasan Piker, the would-be Goebbels to any movement that will have him. Piker’s anti-Semitic and anti-American comments soon became intertwined with similar rhetoric from El-Sayed, forcing the candidate to spend weeks of valuable campaign time extricating himself from direct identification with Piker while at the same time not alienating Piker’s “four million” (actually in the low five digits) followers. For a time, it seemed to be working, but recently, the carefully prepared image of a benign, moderate Muslim candidate has been fading faster than the picture of Dorian ibn el-Gray.

According to Spanish government estimates, approximately 72,000 “migrants” broke into the enclave of Ceuta on the coast of North Africa at the end of July. Most of the invaders allegedly returned to Morocco a few days later, but it has never been clear how many of them remained in Ceuta. It seemed that the number must be higher than 10,000, given the visible evidence of those who were camped out in shantytowns on the city’s beaches.

It’s very difficult to deport illegal migrants from the EU. An application for asylum kicks off an elaborate process that can go on for months, and even if it is denied, the applicant may not be deportable. It’s a common practice for migrants — following the advice of those helpful NGOs that aid “refugees” — to destroy their identity documents before they land on EU territory. In those cases, their country of origin can’t be legally determined, so there is no destination to deport them to.

The resolution was inspired by a draft resolution introduced by Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, that denounces Sharia in the United States. Self’s resolution has not been passed by Congress.

While introducing the resolution, Williams explained how Sharia is practiced in various Muslim-majority countries.

Federal authorities have arrested a man accused of plotting a terrorist attack at Mall of America and pledging his allegiance to the Islamic State group.

According to an affidavit unsealed on Wednesday, FBI agents arrested 18-year-old Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud on Tuesday directly after he purchased an AK-47, 200 rounds of ammunition and four 30-round magazines from an informant with the stated intent of carrying out a mass shooting.

The criminal complaint alleges Mohamud had messaged an informant for nearly two years, discussing his hatred of non-Muslims and his desire to align with an Islamic terror group. He floated the idea of joining al Qaeda and al Shabaab before deciding to lend his support to the Islamic State.

Mohamud repeatedly expressed his admiration for Islamic terrorist attacks, including the New Year’s Eve 2024 attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans; the 2017 Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida; and the 2025 mass shooting during a Hanukkah gathering at Bondi Beach in Sydney.

Mohamud told the informant he wanted to go to Somalia to join the Islamic State, but when it became apparent he lacked the money to travel abroad, he set his sights on martyrdom and committing mass violence at home instead, court documents state.

“I carry dual citizenship, and I grew up spending most of my summers in another country where I understood what it meant not to have the right to self-govern,” El-Sayed told the audience.

In Collin County, home to a growing Muslim population, residents of McKinney have been gathering signatures to recall the city council members and the mayor who approved a mosque site plan after a tense city council meeting in August.

A few miles south, on the 25th anniversary of 9/11, protesters gathered outside a Plano mosque, waving American flags and holding signs about Jesus and “Don’t Mecca My Texas,” as Muslims passed by on their way to prayer.

To the east in the rural part of the county, what’s known as EPIC city, a 1,000-home Muslim development, anchored by a mosque, remains on hold. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued to stop construction amid public concerns that the enclave would promote sharia, or Islamic law.

Louden said that characterizing resistance to a mosque expansion as mere Islamophobia dismisses valid public concerns.

Take, for example, Iran’s Islamic caliphate chanting “Death to America” for almost 50 years. More recently, popular Muslim influencers such as Hasan Piker have proclaimed America “deserved 9/11.”

“I think a lot of residents, and I just think as a nation, a lot of people are starting to see what radical Islam comes with, and they have every right to be concerned because it’s not something that we should just welcome in the name of not being Islamophobic,” Louden said.

Masked attackers set fires at the doors of a Paris vocational high school Monday, confining about 100 students and staff inside, as nationwide student protests over school conditions entered another week with thousands already arrested and hundreds reported injured.

At the Nicolas-Louis Vauquelin High School in the 13th arrondissement, Principal Carole Zerbib said a group of about 10 people in hoods, masks and black clothing arrived around 7:50 a.m. as students were arriving. She told BFMTV they looked “very determined, very fast,” and that staff “immediately understood that we were not going to be able to talk with them.”

Notice that the poor wretched refugees aren’t clothed in rags, but in nice warm new-looking hoodies. Some of them are carrying backpacks, which are also new-looking. They all have cell phones. The tents they are being forced to abandon seem to be of good quality, with lots of extra bedding spread over them, also of good quality. If this were a true shantytown, all the shelters would be made of scrap wood, battered sheet tin, and cardboard, and their bedding would be tattered rags.

The operation at Ceuta is a well-financed invasion. Who paid for all that stuff?

Muslim Morocco. The saw a European country being stupid and naturally decided to take advantage of it. The same thing happens to the U.S. under a Democrat administration.

It’s nightmarishly grotesque, and horribly revealing, that crowds will gather in New York and other cities on the third anniversary of the Oct. 7 atrocities to celebrate the mass slaughter of Israelis by the “Islamic Resistance Movement,” a k a Hamas.

Not to protest Israel’s actions before, during or since the war those attacks began, but to cheer the 6,000 or so who invaded the Jewish state to kill, rape and kidnap civilian kibbutzim and dance-festival ravers — and filmed it all, instantly sharing it with their victims’ families and the world.

Why else gather on this day, the high mark for the terrorists and their cause?

The organizers, including the “youth section” of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s beloved Democratic Socialists of America, say it’s because the date “marks three years since resistance against imperialism changed the fate of our world forever.”

Again, the “resistance” that day was purely a matter of terrorizing innocents, and Hamas’ least-shameful actions since amount to nothing but losing to the Israeli forces that moved into Gaza to recover the hostages and smash the terror infrastructure.

The Saudi-backed Yemeni forces battling the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels claim they have regained a large swath of territory in a new counteroffensive launched on Monday. This includes the recapture of the Red Sea port city of Mokha and other key positions near the highly-strategic Bab al-Mandeb Strait (BAM). As we reported last month, the Houthis had taken these areas during an offensive of their own.

“On Monday, the Nation Shield Forces, the Giants Brigades, and the Tihama Resistance—supported by the Popular Resistance—seized control of the city of Al-Mokha in western Taiz Governorate following fierce battles against the terrorist Houthi militias backed by the Iranian regime,” the official Yemeni Saba news outlet reported. “The forces, aided by air support, succeeded in capturing Al-Mokha after clashes with the terrorist Houthi militias, which had controlled the city since early last September. The battles, which took place at various locations surrounding Al-Mokha, involved the use of diverse weaponry and resulted in casualties among the terrorist Houthi militias, the capture of several of their members, and the flight of others.”

Dubbed Operation Yemen Dawn, the counteroffensive aims to “restore state institutions, liberate the capital Sana’a, and end the Houthi terrorist militia coup,” Rashad al-Alimi, president of the internationally recognized government of Yemen, stated Monday on X.

When I was U.S. Consul General in Marseille, France from 2017–2020, I visited countless schools across the south. One was the Lycée de la Méditerranée, a high school in the city of La Ciotat on the Mediterranean coast. By French standards it was a tough school, though it would not have seemed so in comparison with inner-city America. Many of its students had family roots in France’s former colonies.

Today, I watched a video of young people at that Lycée, who may not all have been students there, assault and pour gasoline on a teacher, with the presumed intent to set him alight.

Elsewhere across France, there has been rioting and mayhem. In Marseille, rioters set their school on fire and then torched the fire truck sent to put it out. In Nantes, rioters caused millions of euros in damage to 40 schools. In Paris, high schoolers blocked their school, set fire to e-bikes, and played cat-and-mouse with riot police. French police have arrested around 2,000 people–mostly young folks, though not necessarily students–so far.

It’s important to get the place looking neat and tidy for when His Majesty pops in for a visit.

But don’t get your hopes up: the eviction of the culture-enrichers from Trampolín Beach doesn’t mean they’ll be deported. They’re just being relocated to a place where they’ll be less of an eyesore, at the El Tarajal industrial estate hard on the border with Morocco, where several warehouses have been converted to migrant accommodations.

Sixteen years after his deadly rampage at Fort Hood, the United States Army is preparing to formally recommend the execution of Islamist terrorist Nidal Hasan — at last.

President Donald Trump, when he receives that request, should swiftly order Hasan’s death: That would be necessary justice.

But it will not absolve our government for its years-long policy of lies and euphemisms surrounding Islamic radicalism that empowered Hasan to kill 13 service members — a policy that began under President George W. Bush and continued through the Obama and Biden administrations.

Fort Hood was not an unexpected “tragedy.”

It was a preventable act of jihad, made possible by institutions that treated the truth about Islamist violence as more dangerous than the violence itself.

Hasan, an Army major who was given preferential treatment solely because of his Muslim religion and Arab ethnicity, murdered 13 Americans and wounded 33 others at Fort Hood, Tex., on Nov. 5, 2009.

Whenever Muslims move to another country they make that country worse with three notable exceptions, the secular Iranians who moved to L.A, the Ahmadiyya muslims who moved to Britain and Iraqi translators who converted to Christianity.

Notice a pattern here? Iranians are mostly secular. The Ahmadi are persecuted by other Muslims for not being Muslim enough. And Muslims who leave Islam are by definition, not Muslim.

Most immigrant groups tend to stick together for a generation or two before they start integrating and intermarrying and so on. But Muslim populations don’t integrate because of their religion. (Surah 5:51) Furthermore, their religion says they are superior to others (Surah 3:110) Getting into Quranic interpretations is complicated but from what I’ve read it’s bad. Perhaps more importantly, what we can observe from group behavior, the bad parts of the Quran are well respected.

Egyptian authorities have detained the entire newsroom of one of the country’s only independent media outlets in a move that rights groups have denounced as a “first” and an “alarming escalation” on free speech.

On September 28 and 29, security forces raided the homes of the six journalists – Mohamed Ashraf Abu Emeira, Abdallah Qadry, Islam Barakat, Omar Helal, Mohamed Mahmoud and Mohamed Adel – who constitute the entire team working for Matsada2sh (Arabic for “Don’t believe”).
