Iran weapons claims

The United States says it cannot confirm reports of Russia receiving Iranian surface-to-surface missiles and more drones. The Pentagon says Washington does not have information corroborating reports that Iran has promised to provide Russia with its missiles and drones. This after certain Western media claimed Moscow and Tehran had agreed in early October on the delivery of the Iranian weapons to Russia.

Korean Peninsula tensions

North Korea says it fired artillery shells toward its east and west coasts in a grave warning to South Korea. Pyongyang says "enemies should immediately stop provocative actions that cause military tension." According to the South Korean military, Pyongyang fired some 250 shells into the sea. North Korea’s latest military activity comes just a day after the South kicked off its annual Hoguk defense drills. Seoul says the joint maneuvers are aimed at boosting the ability of its troops to counter North Korea’s nuclear threats. Pyongyang says the drills are a rehearsal for invasion. North Korea has repeatedly reacted by launching long and short range missiles.

Biden popularity crisis

Three weeks from midterm elections in the United States, President Joe Biden’s approval rating stays close to the lowest level during his presidency. A new poll conducted by Reuters-Ipsos shows only 40-percent of Americans are satisfied with Biden’s performance. The two-day national poll remains unchanged compared to last week. It shows about a third of Americans see economy as the principal problem facing the country. The respondents included both Democrats and Republicans. With the elections ahead, the new figure is raising the alarms that Democrats may lose control of the House of Representatives, and the Senate. The United States is facing high inflation, with many families struggling to cover expenses. Biden’s popularity hit a record-low of 36 percent in May and June.
