TEHRAN, Oct. 24 (MNA) – The Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee held a meeting on Friday to review a report on the seventh round of disciplinary inspection launched by the 20th CPC Central Committee.

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 Strikes on Iran look days away, and every warning sign is flashing at the same time.
A senior US diplomat says strikes “absolutely” could come this weekend, Iraq’s prime minister has reportedly been told they’re coming, and Britain’s prime minister is reportedly calling Trump to talk him out of it.
Iran has threatened the Gulf’s undersea cables, GPS in the UAE is being scrambled again, Israeli jets have flown to Iran’s border twice, and the West Bank is under lockdown.
With this many signs pointing the same way, there’s very little time left to turn it around.

Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal)🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 America’s top general can legally BYPASS Hegseth and tell Trump to call off the Iran strike… Colin Powell did it twice and won both times, and nobody expects Dan Caine to try
Larry says Goldwater Nichols lets the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs walk past the Pentagon straight into the Oval Office, and Powell did it to Cheney during the 1992 LA riots, with the caveat that a president can still refuse the meeting.
Col. Larry Wilkerson, Powell’s former chief of staff, says the law is sitting there unused:
“That’s what Caine should do.
If he really feels that this is a terrible decision and it should stop.”
He adds the chairman should bring Trump a way to wind it down without losing face, and he doubts the current one has the knowledge or the nerve.
On the other side, Iran has handed 31 district commanders their own missiles and standing orders to fire without waiting for Tehran, with backups in separate locations, so even a strike that kills half of them leaves enough to wreck Haifa and the Tel Aviv complex.
The cleanest off ramp runs through one general’s office, and the door is closed.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The US is thinning out its embassies in Jordan, Lebanon, Qatar and the UAE days after ordering families out of Saudi Arabia
State says the four posts stay open under “restricted operations” and nobody is being ordered home yet, which is one notch below the Riyadh evacuation and one notch above normal.
The stated reason is the Houthis; the DNI’s memo to Rubio the same day said Iranian plots to kill American officials abroad have reached “advanced stages.”
Troops have been pulled off bases in Jordan, Qatar and Kuwait since Wednesday.
The diplomats are now following them, and this is the exact sequence Washington ran in the last week of February before the first strikes fell.
