On October 7, 2026, residents in the northern Tigrayan town of Adigrat reported seeing truckloads of Eritrean soldiers moving deep into Ethiopian territory, escalating fears of direct cross-border warfare.

When the leaders of Egypt, Eritrea, Sudan, and Somalia met in Egypt on October 4 to coordinate responses, they publicly denied direct intervention in Ethiopia’s internal affairs.

🔺 Iran has asked Russia for its newer jet-powered Geran attack drones, specifically the Geran-4 and Geran-5, for use against Israel and the US, the Financial Times reported in mid-September, citing Western security officials and a source close to the Kremlin.

It's a reversal as Russia's Geran drones themselves began as copies of Iran's Shahed, which Tehran supplied in 2022. Iran now wants Russia's upgraded jet versions, which are faster and much harder to shoot down.

A new FT report from Odesa highlights what these drones are capable of in Ukraine. Since July, a Russian air campaign led by jet-powered drones and missiles has closed the Black Sea to shipping, and stranded Ukraine's bumper harvest.

Before the 2022 invasion, those ports shipped more than 90% of Ukraine's grain exports, which fed some 300 million people in about 70 countries, FT reported. Ukraine's agriculture minister estimates losses of at least $8 billion by June 2027 if the ports stay shut, about 20% of last year's total export revenue for the country.

Russia is also hitting electricity substations, warehouses, storage depots, ships and the trains that carry grain and iron ore. "By blocking the grain they maximise economic damage," said Tymur Samosudov, commander of Odesa's drone interceptor unit. His unit claims a 95% success rate against older Shaheds, but hitting the jet-powered versions with interceptor drones is "more luck than anything else," he said.

Neither Moscow nor Tehran has confirmed the Iranian request for the drones. But some reporting suggested Russia was considering the request. The full FT report is linked in reply.

I assume that the Russians are going to start giving Iran supply of Geran 5 drones (they reportedly requested it) or they will start manufacturing an equivalent version themselves which will make it harder to deflect these attacks since no reliable interceptor has yet been designed.

Rory Johnston
@Rory_Johnston
Hormuz oil flows rose to their highest level of the war and then the number of successful Iranian strikes on Hormuz tankers spiked over the past week, Hormuz flow appearing to slow somewhat. Had heard that even before this latest escalation CENTCOM was regularly intercepting Iranian drones during convoys.

So, some questions:

1. Is Iran launching way more attacks and just by large numbers notching more successful strikes?
2. Is CENTCOM getting worse at defense?
3. Did Tehran never really intend** to hit ships before (say, in line with quiet toll/payment thesis), and suddenly decided it really wanted to (as Saudi ramped, etc.) and still maintained the capacity to do so?
4. Is this all a fluke?

**Why would Tehran *pretend* to threaten ships? Even if some were paying, Tehran would, in line with the attritional strategy, have an interest in keeping overall risk perception (and thus costs) high and CENTCOM completely engaged, which it could do cheaply with some haphazardly lopped drones.

⭕️ Why Norway?

Starlink's satellite network is registered with the UN's International Telecommunication Union (ITU) through Norway, with the US listed as an associated administration. That makes both governments legally responsible for preventing unauthorized transmissions.

Since 2023, the ITU's Radio Regulations Board has repeatedly "strongly urge[d]" Norway and the US to have SpaceX "immediately disable unauthorized transmissions" in Iran. SpaceX can switch off terminals in any country, but neither government has made it do so.

🎥 New: On this week’s episode of “The War Brief” by Drop Site News, hosts Sarmad Jawad & Murtaza Hussain break down the most critical military & foreign policy developments across the Middle East & Eastern Europe over the past week. In Yemen, Ansarallah... Full episode: youtu.be/rHH5ivv9zXQ?...

In Yemen, Ansarallah continue their rapid advances across western Yemen, moving to encircle the city of Taiz and firming up their control control over the vital Bab al-Mandab Strait. As Saudi Arabia reportedly plans a major military offensive against the group with the support of regional countries, Ansar Allah is establishing facts on the ground in their battle to control Yemen.

In Gaza, the Israeli military has continued to carry out strikes killing Palestinian civilians in Gaza—including deadly strikes targeting journalists and members of Gaza’s small Christian community. According to most recent figures, Gaza’s Health Ministry has recorded at least 1,431 Palestinians killed and 5,026 wounded since the October 2025 ceasefire.

In Europe, Moscow has issued a direct warning to NATO, threatening the use of its full military arsenal—including nuclear weapons—if Western operations isolate the militarized exclave of Kaliningrad.

Meanwhile in Iraq, U.S. allies in Iraq feel betrayed by Trump's withdrawal of forces from the country, even as many ordinary Iraqis celebrate the withdrawal.

Despite President Trump’s claims that Iran has lost control of the Strait of Hormuz, Tehran demonstrated this past week that it retains the ability to strike oil shipping, hitting eight tankers in just five days.
@8Sarmad
and
@MazMHussain
discuss the battle over the strait and whether Trump’s claim holds up, as Iran also prepares contingency plans for an escalated conflict, including likely targeting of naval and aerial support bases like those on the Indian Ocean island Diego Garcia.
