According to Channel 12, Prime Minister Netanyahu instructed IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir to carry out an unspecified military action against Iran, which officials warned could rapidly escalate into a confrontation just before the October 27 election. Zamir asked for an in-depth discussion and written authorization signed by Netanyahu before proceeding, with sources saying he and other generals fear leaders may seek political gain from the Iran front. Netanyahu denied any disagreement, saying Zamir himself had said Iran was trying to interfere in the election. Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Yashar party and Netanyahu's main election rival, backed Zamir's caution and warned that the IDF must not become a tool for maintaining Netanyahu's political standing. Earlier this month, Zamir said no operational need required an attack before the vote.

- U . S . and Israel Planning to Ramp Up Iran War Again
According to the NYT, U.S. and Israeli militaries have drawn up specific plans for renewed strikes on Iran after the U.S. midterm elections on November 3, citing U.S. officials and others briefed on the deliberations. Targets would likely include Iran's energy infrastructure, nuclear facilities, and missile and drone arsenal, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recently met Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel to discuss the strikes. Some officials argue one more big round of attacks could push Iran's economy to the brink and force diplomatic concessions, but the article questions this, noting that the first phase of U.S.-Israeli strikes between February and April drove up energy prices and inflation worldwide, eroded Middle East security and strained the Pentagon's interceptor supply. President Trump has repeatedly vetoed plans for major combat this year, and Iran has vowed to expand its targets to data centers and undersea internet cables.
- Iran warns US and Israel
Iran's Armed Forces Chief of Staff, Major General Ali Abdollahi, warned on October 18 that the US and Israel would face a far harsher response if they continue actions Tehran considers provocative. He said Tehran is awaiting their next moves and that Iran's armed forces remain ready for any scenario. Tehran accuses Washington and Tel Aviv of trying to weaken its government, and tensions have risen since earlier conflicts, including a 12-day war. Iran says it will not back down under external pressure.
- As the US Teeters on the Brink
According to Izvestia, the US is reducing troop numbers at bases in Jordan, Qatar and Kuwait and evacuating some diplomats. The New York Times reports that US and Israeli militaries have drawn up strike options, including a campaign of around 3 days after the 3 November midterm elections, targeting nuclear facilities and energy infrastructure, though Donald Trump has not approved it. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he ordered the military, Mossad and other agencies to seek to topple Iran's government, while the US and Iran still disagree on how to begin talks. Brent crude rose more than 3% on 22 October to above 112 USD per barrel, its highest since May. One expert said neither side has shown signs of lowering its demands.
- Nasdaq dives 2 . 6 % as U . S . and Israel gear up for more attacks on Iran
U.S. stocks, except the Dow, fell on Thursday as a sell-off in tech shares dragged markets lower, while oil prices surged after reports that Israel and the United States plan to resume bombing Iran after the midterm elections. The Nasdaq Composite posted the sharpest drop, losing 694.00 points (2.60%) to 26,008.86, while the S&P 500 fell 1.21% to 7,663.39 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.02% to 52,866.85. Demand for Treasury bonds spiked, pushing yields lower. The euro and Australian dollar weakened against the dollar, while the yen, pound, Canadian dollar and Swiss franc gained. Most Asian markets fell sharply, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng down 3.03%, Japan's Nikkei 225 down 2.65% and South Korea's KOSPI down 3.52%, while Belgium's BEL 20 was a rare gainer, up 1.97%.
- US-Israel military planning: New strike plans against Iran being developed for post-US election window
US and Israeli militaries have developed specific plans for renewed strikes on Iran after the US midterm elections, with likely targets including energy infrastructure, nuclear facilities, and missile and drone arsenals, and have stepped up exercises. Some officials believe one more intensive round could push Iran's economy to the brink and force diplomatic concessions, but skeptics doubt a renewed war would succeed where the February–April campaign, which drove up global energy prices and inflation, did not. Trump has repeatedly vetoed plans for major combat this year and is seen as likely to wait until after the election, while the US will not have its full military assets in place until early November. Iran has vowed to widen its retaliation to data centres and undersea internet cables, and talks continue even though Iran has been unwilling to concede on its nuclear program.
- US and Israel draw up plans for renewed strikes on Iran after elections
US and Israeli militaries have drawn up specific plans for renewed strikes on Iran after next month's midterm elections, with exercises already stepped up. Likely targets include Iran's energy infrastructure, nuclear facilities, and missile and drone arsenals, and some officials believe another major round of attacks could push Iran's economy to the brink and force diplomatic concessions. Skeptics note that the earlier campaign from February to April drove up global energy prices and inflation, strained the Pentagon's missile interceptor supplies, and did not bring Tehran back to the table, while Trump has repeatedly vetoed renewed combat. Iran has vowed to widen retaliation to data centres and underwater internet cables, and full U.S. military assets will not be in place until early November. Israel's election on Tuesday next could also shape the timing, and on Wednesday the State Department ordered nonemergency staff to leave Saudi Arabia.

- Micron Just Delivered a Monster Quarter, but the Stock Is Plummeting. The Reason Is Obvious.
Micron (MU) posted record fiscal fourth-quarter results, with revenue of $54.2 billion, up nearly 380% year over year, and EPS of $32.87, and guided to $61.5 billion in revenue for fiscal Q1 2027. Despite this, the stock has fallen roughly 20% since the report and was about 29% below its all-time high as of Oct. 22. The article attributes the sell-off to concerns about the sustainability of AI capital spending, high valuations and whether the memory industry's unusually high profitability will last, while the iShares Semiconductor ETF has declined 15% since the report. The author views the forward P/E of about 7 as modest and believes investors may have already priced in considerable downside risk.
- YYForce Applauds Tesla and Elon Musk on Commencing Manufacturing of Optimus Humanoid Robots
YYForce Inc. (NASDAQ: YFOR) congratulated Tesla and Elon Musk after Tesla said production of its Optimus humanoid robot has begun in Fremont, California, a phase Tesla describes as early ramp. YYForce plans to deploy its first humanoid robot at Novotel Singapore on Stevens in early November 2026 to evaluate hospitality applications, with the scope depending on technical readiness and initial results. The company stresses that this is a separate initiative: the release announces no partnership or endorsement involving Tesla, and the robot to be deployed is not a Tesla Optimus.
- Elon Musk predicts many neoclouds will experience 'guppy-level death'
SpaceX (SPCX) confirmed it has closed a $40 billion finance lease deal for Nvidia (NVDA) AI chips, backed by Apollo. Elon Musk said debt markets have largely stopped lending to neoclouds that rely on revenue to pay for data centers, and that more than 200 neoclouds will see "guppy-level death" through consolidation, with few surviving. The $40 billion deal has not yet priced; Bloomberg reported its debt could price at around 8%, above earlier expectations, while CoreWeave's debt is trading at about 15%. Chamath, an AI bull, also said it will be a consolidation year for a few. The hosts noted Musk's comments may be self-serving, or aimed at talking prices down so he can pick up more computing capacity.
- Moderna Tumbles 7% as Cancer Vaccine Selloff Deepens; BioNTech Falls 3%, Pfizer Holds Steady
Moderna shares fell 7% to $185.74 in morning trading after its personalized melanoma vaccine, intismeran autogene, given with Keytruda, met its primary goal of reducing the risk of recurrence or death, but its effect on distant metastasis was far smaller than an earlier mid-stage study suggested. Detailed late-stage results were released on October 22 ahead of a conference in Madrid. BioNTech fell 3% to $85.65, Merck fell 0.2% to $145.61 and Pfizer fell 0.2% to $29.96, while the iShares Biotechnology ETF rose 0.2% to $208.21. The article notes Moderna's business relies entirely on mRNA medicines, so the vaccine carries a large share of its pipeline value, and says the next step is whether the full dataset supports a regulatory filing.
- HOOD’s prediction markets to add $1.7B to revenue, exceed crypto by 2028: Bernstein
Bernstein raised its revenue estimates for Robinhood Markets (HOOD) for 2026, 2027 and 2028 by 3%, 4% and 3% respectively, and kept its $160 price target unchanged. The firm expects prediction markets to grow from about $650 million this year to $1.7 billion in 2028, surpassing projected crypto-based revenue of $1.6 billion and accounting for roughly 18% of the projected $9.4 billion in total 2028 revenue. Bernstein expects Q3 revenue to rise 13% quarter over quarter to around $1.5 billion, driven by equity, options and event contract volumes and a recovery in crypto trading. HOOD was set to open lower, with premarket trading at $93.60, and is down more than 29% over the past 12 months.
- One Catalyst Could Completely Change the Tesla Stock Story
The article argues that the unsupervised Robotaxi fleet could decide the Tesla stock story, but its economics have not yet shown up in reported results. The 24/7 Wall St. model sets a price target of $404.84, 8.1% above the $374.58 close on October 22, and rates the stock hold because it sees shares trading near fair value. In Q3, revenue of $28.05 billion and EPS of $0.48 beat estimates, but operating income fell 55.79% as R&D rose to $2.76 billion and battery supply limited deliveries to 486,532 vehicles. Free cash flow dropped 61.63% to $1.53 billion, while management expects about $20 billion in capex this year. Traders put 65.5% odds on a SpaceX merger being announced by the end of 2027.
