- Trump Reveals Why the US Sent a Letter to Iran's Leaders
President Donald Trump denied directing Vice President JD Vance to send a letter to Iran to explore resuming peace talks, saying Vance proposed it to offer medical supplies. The Wall Street Journal, citing a source, reported the letter was sent on Trump's instructions and aimed to persuade Trump against a sudden, large-scale strike on Iran. Iran's Tasnim news agency said Tehran received the letter but has not responded, and repeated conditions including lifting the US naval blockade of Iranian ports and ending sanctions on its oil exports. A senior Iranian official said proposals from Qatar were unacceptable, while US military options remain under consideration after Admiral Brad Cooper briefed Trump at the White House.
- Iran stalls for time, Trump on edge
According to Iranian officials and experts, Iran is deliberately prolonging talks with the US to weaken President Donald Trump's political position before the 3 November midterm elections. Iran wants the US to meet a proposed 7-day ceasefire first, covering an end to hostilities, easing oil export curbs, releasing frozen assets and lifting the US maritime blockade, before nuclear talks that Washington wants at the center. Iranian officials believe Trump may resume strikes, so Tehran is preparing for new attacks rather than betting on a quick deal. Meanwhile, US gasoline has stayed above 4 USD per gallon since mid-June, fueling voter discontent that is hurting Republicans, and the war has now lasted nearly 8 months, far longer than Trump's initial prediction of a few weeks.
- Trump says he'll soon decide whether to ‘make a deal’ with Iran or ‘finish it off'
U.S. President Donald Trump said in a Fox News interview on Sunday that he is deciding whether to “make a deal” with Iran or “finish it off,” adding that it is “getting to be decision time.” Qatari mediators visited Tehran on Sunday as Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia continued over the weekend. The last confirmed U.S. strikes on Iran were on Sept. 1, and Trump had previously said strikes would not resume until after the Nov. 3 midterm elections. Trump named Pickaxe Mountain, a deeply buried site linked to Iran's nuclear program, as a potential target and repeated his claim that the U.S. controls the Strait of Hormuz, while Tehran says it is preparing a military response to any U.S. attacks. Senior officials from Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan are set to meet Iran's leadership in Tehran on Monday, the first meeting of their group since Houthi strikes on Saudi targets.
- US ready to strike Iran within 96 hours if President Trump gives the order
Sources say US forces in the Middle East are ready to launch new military operations against Iran, possibly on a large scale, within 96 hours of receiving orders from President Donald Trump. The operations could go well beyond earlier strikes that targeted radars, launchers and other Iranian assets that could be quickly restored. The target list reportedly includes energy infrastructure, military sites and nuclear facilities, and officials believe an order could come before year-end, most likely after the midterm elections. Intelligence assessments suggest Iran and the Houthis would likely retaliate against US personnel and facilities if Iran is attacked first. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly pushed for new strikes, but US officials have asked him to delay.
- Iran says it shot down US drone after Trump's warning
Iran's military said its air defenses shot down a US drone over the southern port city of Bandar Abbas, and Tasnim reported it was a US-made LUCAS drone. The incident came after President Trump said on October 24 that the US could strike Iran “as early as tomorrow” or reach a deal, and stated the goal of preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons. He said Iran could avoid further military action by complying with an agreement, but was unsure of the next step. The Wall Street Journal reported that aircraft from the USS George Washington carrier group were being readied, and that the US had reportedly evacuated some diplomatic posts and military bases in the region. Mohamad Elmasry, a professor at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, said these signs point to a new round of fighting.
- Iran dismisses Trump warning of fresh attacks : They will not try again if there any rationality
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the US and Israel had already attacked Iran twice without achieving a different outcome, and that Iran's policies would stay in place whether or not war resumes. He said the Strait of Hormuz would not return to its pre-war status after the 40-day war and claimed Iranian forces destroyed more than 80 American aircraft, most hit by missiles on the ground. Trump had said fresh strikes were possible, “maybe tomorrow,” while leaving open a “nice, big, beautiful agreement.” Tasnim reported that Tehran had made no new proposal through Pakistani mediators to reopen Hormuz in exchange for lifting the US naval blockade. The article notes that an April 8 ceasefire halted the bombardment, though tensions over Hormuz and the blockade persist.

- Is High-Yield Verizon a Stock a Buy Despite SpaceX Worries?
Verizon's third-quarter results showed 406,000 net postpaid phone additions, up 820% year over year and its best Q3 in five years, plus 137,000 net account additions. Revenue rose 1.5% to $34.3 billion and adjusted EPS climbed 8.3% to $1.31, while the company raised its 2026 postpaid phone additions outlook to 1.1 million to 1.2 million and its adjusted EPS growth outlook to 7% to 7.5%. The stock has fallen on concerns that SpaceX could enter the U.S. mobile market, and CEO Dan Schulman said building a terrestrial network would require 65,000 to 80,000 macro sites, cost $300 billion to $500 billion and take four to six years. The author views the stock as cheap, citing a dividend yield above 6.5%, a 11% free cash flow yield and an 8-times forward P/E.
- AMD Is Chasing Nvidia in AI, but Investors Could Win Either Way
AMD reported second-quarter Data Center revenue of $6.72B, up 107% and 58% of total revenue, and CEO Lisa Su said the company enters the second half with strong momentum. Shares are up 164.77% year to date at $567.04, though they fell 10.08% over the past month. The average analyst price target of $637.61 implies about 12% upside, while expected 2027 EPS growth of 108% and revenue growth of 75% are seen as aggressive. The article says reaching $1,000 per share by 2027 would require a 76% gain, with hurdles including Helios yields, data center power availability and export controls, and that AMD trades at 36x 2027 estimates.
- What it will take for Alphabet's low P/E ratio to rebound: AlphaSpace
Yahoo Finance's Brian Sozzi notes that Alphabet's P/E has fallen to its lowest level since 2012 after the company posted negative free cash flow of $9.1 billion in the quarter, versus a Wall Street estimate of negative $3.5 billion, and more than $500 billion in market value was erased in a single day. He argues earnings estimates have not bottomed, citing slowing search and YouTube. For the P/E to recover, he says estimates would need to rise, the market would need to believe earnings will reaccelerate around mid next year, or Alphabet would need to cut capex, and he does not expect this to happen in the near term.

- Gold plunges through $4,000/oz: what's happening?
Spot gold fell nearly $119, about 2.95%, to around $3,901/oz, its lowest in roughly a year and more than $1,000 below its peak above $5,000 earlier this year. Rate expectations weighed on prices: US Q3 employment costs rose 0.8%, Q3 GDP grew 3.4% year on year and September PCE climbed 3.6%, pushing back hopes for an early Fed easing. The Fed held its target rate at 3.75-4.00% with a 10-2 vote, and two members wanted a 25 basis-point hike. Gold kept falling despite higher oil prices after a tanker attack in the Strait of Hormuz, as the 10-year Treasury yield eased about 7 basis points to 4.98%. Silver also slid to about $49/oz, its lowest in over a year.
