Morning update

Live Blog Update| Israeli Elections 10 November 2026 07:56 GMT Good morning Middle East Eye readers, Here are the latest developments: A senior adviser to the command of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force indicated that Tehran's missile industry is self-sufficient and is able to rely on its own domestic production and resources. Ali Bilali said the missile industry was now "more homegrown than Persian carpets". US president Donald Trump said that renewed attacks on Iran could be "five times bigger" than previous strikes on the country. He made the remarks during a phone interview with C-SPAN’s Washington Journal Primetime, where he also boasted about having "wiped out" Iran's navy, air force, anti-aircraft and their leaders. The US State Department has warned its citizen against travelling to six Middle Eastern countries, including Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Syria and Yemen. In a post on X, the department said all six countries remained under its highest travel advisory, Level 4, which instructs Americans not to travel for any reason. US President Donald Trump suggested that the war on Iran could end "fairly soon", but warned that the US is militarily "locked and loaded". "We’re seeing momentum toward the end of this conflict. I think it’s going to be ending fairly soon," he said during a news conference. The Saudi-led coalition said that air defences have intercepted and destroyed several missiles launched by Yemen’s Houthis towards southern Saudi Arabia and Riyadh. The Saudi-led coalition also indicated that it intercepted a drone over Saudi Arabia's oil-rich Eastern Province.
