A superseding indictment unsealed on Tuesday charges three men with supporting terrorism in nearly twenty planned attacks on Jewish sites in Europe and the United States and a foiled plot against the British air base RAF Fairford where U.S. forces are stationed. The indictment names Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al‑Saadi, a dual Iranian‑Iraqi national held in Brooklyn, Mohsen Mohajeri, an Iranian, and Mohammad Ali al‑Hassani, an Iraqi, and alleges they acted for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Iraqi militia Kata'ib Hezbollah.

Several tankers that left Russia's Baltic port of Primorsk in October have not delivered diesel to the United States, and no new Russian diesel has reached US shores under the plan. Russian exports rose to 271,000 barrels per day in October, double September's 135,000, according to Financial Times figures. The Malta-flagged Agioi Fanendes, carrying 300,000 barrels, slowed off the US East Coast and moved in a zigzag pattern on Monday, 10 Nov, with no declared unloading port. Tankers bound for the US changed course because no buyers were found. The U.S. Treasury has authorized the transactions, but senior lawmakers from both parties call the diesel exemption illegal.

Democrats won control of the House of Representatives and the Senate in the US midterm elections, a result that sends a message calling for a check on President Donald Trump's power. Vice President JD Vance said voter opposition to the war with Iran caused the Republican loss, and Trump said he largely agrees. The Iran conflict began after US-Israeli airstrikes in late February 2026 and has cost at least $38 billion and killed 19 Americans. Trump said he would soon decide whether to make a deal with Tehran or order new strikes, and he called Qatar's emir to discuss ending the conflict.
