IRAN DRAWS NUCLEAR RED LINES AS RUSSIAN AND PAKISTANI DIPLOMACY CONFRONTS RENEWED THREATS OF WAR – NIAC

What happened: Iran told Pakistan's army chief it will not send enriched nuclear material abroad or resume talks until Washington rebuilds trust, as Russian and Pakistani diplomacy continues amid renewed war threats. Key numbers: Israel's parliamentary election is scheduled for October 27, followed by U.S. midterms in November. Why it matters: The statement narrows options in nuclear diplomacy, particularly if Washington insists on removing Iran's stockpile, while Trump and Netanyahu statements suggest further military operations are being planned.
