🇫🇷 France's PM Sébastien Lecornu has a lot to say about the student protests turning violent. He says 215 students, 85 school staff and 715 police officers have been injured so far. And he's accusing the far-left LFI party of stirring up chaos ahead of the presidential election. “You are orchestrating chaos for electoral gain.” Lecornu says police have been told not to use too much force, and any mistakes should be investigated. But he also admits students have real complaints about their schools, and says the government needs to listen. So now he's dealing with injured students and police, angry protesters, and a political fight on top of it all. Source: Public Senat / Writer: Daniyal

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Prof. Mohammad Marandi: Iran will NOT let Trump bomb his way to a victory and walk away Trump may be looking for ONE final strike against Iran, something dramatic enough to declare victory without restarting a full-scale war. But Professor Mohammad Marandi sees a serious flaw in that calculation. We discussed a report from Iranian state television claiming Washington had privately requested permission to carry out a symbolic attack on Iran's Pickaxe Mountain nuclear facility without facing retaliation. The report remains unverified, but Marandi believes it is credible. And he was emphatic about one thing. Iran would NOT give Trump the ending he wants. Marandi argues that allowing Washington to attack Iran, declare victory and withdraw would encourage future American military interventions. In his view, making another attack politically costly for Trump is essential to establishing deterrence. I challenged him on that. If Iran can emerge from this conflict controlling the Strait of Hormuz, with American forces withdrawing and Tehran negotiating from a stronger position, why risk another devastating confrontation? Marandi's answer revealed a much bigger obstacle to peace. He believes Iran should refuse to restore normal shipping through Hormuz until Washington fulfills the broader ceasefire commitments Tehran says were agreed upon. That includes ending the fighting in Lebanon, Gaza and Yemen, alongside resolving Iran's own demands. And this is where our disagreement becomes particularly important. I believe Iran could secure an extraordinary strategic victory by accepting a narrower agreement and addressing the remaining regional conflicts separately. Marandi believes doing so would reward Washington for abandoning its commitments. Trump may be looking for a way to end America's war with Iran. According to Marandi though, this confrontation cannot truly end until the wider regional war ends with it. @s_m_marandi

One person even brought a small monkey with him. The protest is over the Election Commission’s voter list revision in India. A smaller group of Modi supporters stood on the other side of the police line. Writer: Lucas t.co/0r4mv6MeV0

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Israel’s PM office is already QUESTIONING the European diplomats who were attacked in the West Bank They stress that the group entered a sensitive area without coordinating with the IDF, and they note that the French mayor with them once raised a Palestinian flag over his town hall. The office is telling people to wait for “full evidence” before concluding. The statement sounds more like a warning that showing up there comes with risks, than to condemn what happened.

🇸🇦 DEBUNKED: Saudi Arabia is NOT panic-buying groceries. Apparently, people just REALLY like a discount. A viral video showing shoppers storming a crowded store is being passed around as evidence that Saudis are desperately stocking up on food amid the Middle East crisis. Except the footage was already circulating in January 2026. And the original explanation had nothing to do with war. It was reportedly a shopping frenzy triggered by discounts at a Saudi mall. Supermarket sale or the collapse of civilization? Today you never know. Writer: Oliver

🇺🇸 Wisconsin is facing some big questions about voter citizenship checks just weeks before the midterms. A viral report claims the Wisconsin Elections Commission has barred roughly 1,800 municipal clerks from using the federal SAVE database to verify citizenship. Sen. Mike Lee reacted: “That sounds like Wisconsin really wants to facilitate election fraud.” The Supreme Court allowed the expanded SAVE system to resume on September 25. I mean, election integrity shouldn't be this hard to get straight answers about. Writer: Lynn t.co/JCVxfsDC6a
