  2. on Iran-U.S. conflict escalationNegativeOct 19, 2026· Hidden Forces

    Iran or the United States may escalate before or after the midterm elections.

    “there is a risk that either the Iranians would try to mount an October surprise by escalating in a way that would allow them to break this blockade and the economic pressure that the U.S. is putting on them, or that the U.S. would do so either to give the president a victory in the run-up to the midterms.”

  3. on Air bombing against the HouthisNegativeOct 19, 2026· Hidden Forces

    Air bombing has not and will not defeat the Houthis.

    “that it was done by the Saudi-left coalition for seven years. It was done by the Biden administration. It was done by... the Trump administration, it has not worked. And it will not work.”
