In Iran, reports suggest President Pezeshkian offered his resignation to Supreme Leader Khamenei, citing an IRGC 'total takeover', though the government dismissed these claims as 'Mossad gossip'.

    Southeast Asia saw a deadly explosion in a rebel-held Myanmar village, killing dozens at a building storing mining explosives, and rescue efforts continue for two missing gold miners in Laos. The Ukraine conflict involves continued drone strikes on Russian territory and President Zelenskyy's push for peace talks before winter.
