The Taliban’s Commission for Refugees said on Monday that more than 7,700 Afghan migrants were deported from Pakistan the previous day, as Islamabad continues a sweeping crackdown on undocumented foreigners. An additional 246 individuals were expelled from Iran on the same day, the commission said.
Since its inception, the current Iranian regime has not been built on peace, but on the sword. The revolutionary slogans of the regime are not about coexistence or mutual respect; they are about domination, erasing enemies, and building an empire under the flag of the Supreme Leader. The regime has never sought to win influence by persuasion or diplomacy, but through nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, and global assassinations.

Pakistani security forces killed 20 Pakistani Taliban insurgents in raids on hideouts in the northwest region bordering Afghanistan, the military said Monday, as tensions between the two countries escalated.
Separately, militants including a suicide bomber tried to storm a cadet college in Wana, a city in the South Waziristan district also in the northwest, triggering a gunbattle that killed at least two of the attackers, the military said.
Terrorist organizations are rarely random or senseless in their acts of violence. Rather, their attacks are often strategically planned to reflect their ideological goals, operational capabilities, and political objectives. While some groups are selective in targeting military and law enforcement personnel, others adopt a more indiscriminate approach, directing violence toward infrastructure, commercial centers, or cultural landmarks. The Global Terrorism Trends and Analysis Center (GTTAC), operating under the US Department of State, has compiled extensive records on global terrorist incidents, documenting over 60,000 cases from January 2018 to June 2025. These records include detailed variables such as perpetrator group, attack type, victim category, logistical details, and—critically—the type of facility targeted. Facility types are classified into six categories: commercial, government, cultural, infrastructure, military, and miscellaneous.
The Iraqi Army is intensifying its campaign against the so-called Islamic State, driving on towards the main prize, the second city of Mosul.
The campaign was given a boost this week when US Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced the deployment of 560 more American troops, to add to 4,000-plus already there.

Following the US military’s withdrawal from Iraq at the end of 2011, Sunni and Shia militias changed course: Some joined the political process, while others went through a period of inactivity. The ongoing conflict in Syria, however, has given a new lease on life to many of those groups.
Israel wants ‘Gaza gangs’ to manage post-war securty and reconstruction
Israel is making plans for ‘Gaza gangs’, who oppose Hamas, to lead post-war reconstruction and security efforts.
Israel is seeking to grant powers to “gangs” in Gaza accused of looting aid and other criminal activities to dominate post-war policing and reconstruction in the enclave.
On October 14, four days after Israel and Hamas agreed to phase one of US President Donald Trump’s 20-Point Ceasefire Plan for Gaza, Trump addressed the Israeli Knesset. “After so many years of unceasing war and endless danger, today the skies are calm, the guns are silent, the sirens are still, and the sun rises on a Holy Land that is finally at peace,” Trump stated. However, a month after the implementation of the first phase of the ceasefire, which laid out clear guidelines for the cessation of hostilities and the return of Israeli hostages, Hamas and allied terror groups have violated the agreement at least 18 times, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claims.
At the Xi-Trump meeting, China paused rare-earths curbs for a year and pledged to refine detailed plans, offering a cautious sip of a bitter cup ahead.
On 10 October, a remark made by China’s former leader Deng Xiaoping was recalled around the world, becoming a focal point of commentary across Europe.
À la différence de ceux qui soutiennent l’Empire américain, les partisans de l’Empire britannique savaient qu’ils soutenaient un empire.
Ceux qui ont soutenu les massacres perpétrés par l’Empire britannique aux quatre coins du monde soutenaient la Couronne, et souhaitaient que Sa Majesté civilise les impies et transforme l’ensemble des habitants de la planète en ses sujets royaux. Ceux qui soutiennent le bellicisme de l’empire américain le font parce qu’ils ont décidé que Saddam était un despote malfaisant, que Kadhafi était un despote malfaisant, que Maduro est un despote malfaisant, que le Hamas, le Hezbollah et les Houthis sont des terroristes, etc.
