2. Iranian FM Calls Out Macron’s Contradictions

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi lashed out at French President Emmanuel Macron for his contradictory stances on Iran’s nuclear activities.

Araghchi’s Statement: “Just before the US President exited the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) in 2018, Mr. Macron emphasized before the US Congress that ‘France will not withdraw from the JCPOA because we signed it.’ Today, he claims he has always opposed ‘any nuclear activity’ in Iran. Stick to your narrative, Mr. President!”

President Zelensky previously published footage of an FP-7 launch on October 1, though it remains unconfirmed whether it successfully hit its target.
• Lyman Axis Decoys: Drone pilots from Ukraine’s SIGNUM Battalion operating on the Lyman axis report that Russian troops are deploying mannequins resembling personnel to trick drone operators—though experienced Ukrainian crews are successfully identifying and bypassing these decoys.

• 2028 Election & JD Vance: When asked by reporters whether he would endorse JD Vance for 2028 if Republicans lose their majorities, Trump responded:“Where did you get that idea? I never even thought of it. We have too much time to be thinking about that.”
• On the Iran War: Trump remarked, “Many great patriots really love the Iran war. We’ve knocked the hell out of them, and we may do it a little bit further.” He also acknowledged that there is a political price to pay regarding how the war impacts the midterms.
