Iran 'Fully Prepared' To Resume War, We Don't Trust Trump: Iran FM
The two big weekend Iran war developments are 1) President Trump has rejected Tehran's seven day ceasefire roadmap proposal, and reportedly plans to resume bombing Iran - likely after the November midterm elections; 2) the Iranian government announced Sunday its forces have struck 19 ships in the Strait of Hormuz over the past two nights, per Fars News Agency.
The Fars report indicated the Iranians hit 12 vessels Friday night and 7 more Saturday - though Western sources have been slow to report or confirm this, and the Pentagon has not initially commented.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has meanwhile once again emphasized in the wake of Trump's rejection of the latest proposal that on the one hand Tehran stands 'ready' for renewed fighting and won't back down - and on the other has not yet abandoned diplomacy.

China Sent Over 1,000 Shipments Of Missile, Drone Parts To Iran In 2026
Authored by News Desk via The Cradle,
China has sent Iran around 1,300 shipments of missile and drone parts this year through the end of June, as the Islamic Republic faced a brutal US-Israeli campaign against it, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on 23 September.
(Photo credit: NurPhoto/Getty Images)One of the shipments arrived the same day the April ceasefire was announced, according to Iranian customs data cited by the outlet.
It carried a shipment for the Iranian Defense Ministry that included electronic components used to make parts for drones and missile guidance systems.
Another Chinese shipment two days later carried drone parts for Iran, worth more than $6 million, according to WSJ.
WSJ writes that there has been a surge in Chinese cargo flights to Iran over the past year, coinciding with several new Iranian warnings.
Tehran's military recently said it received intelligence of upcoming US attacks.

Approval Of Trump's Presidency And The War On Iran Hit New Lows
Americans' approval of the US-Israeli war on Iran has reached another record low, pulling Trump's approval rating down with it, to the worst reading of either of his two terms in office, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll. The new findings also show likely spillover effects for the November midterms that will benefit Democrats seeking to retake the majority in Congress.

Early on, the Trump administration claimed his war of choice would be over in a matter of a few weeks. On Friday, it will have been going on for six months with no resolution in sight. With the war keeping gas prices far higher than they were before Trump teamed up with Israel to launch a surprise attack on Iran in the middle of ongoing negotiations, Americans are increasingly taking a dim view of the war, while also overwhelmingly pessimist...

Futures Jump As Brent Tumbles Below $90 On Fresh Round Of Iran Ceasefire Optimism
A sharp drop in oil prices prompted by a quieter weekend for geopolitics and a pause in MidEast hostilities also sparked a drop in bond yields and the USD. A powerful relief rally in stocks and bonds emerged after a lull in hostilities in the Middle East, and started a week packed with earnings and a stack of interest-rate decisions on a positive note. As of 8.00am ET, Nasdaq futures surged after the index logged its first back-to-back weekly declines since March; S&P 500 futures rose 1%. After Friday's rout, all Mag 7 stocks gained amid the relief rally in tech and AI-related stocks (Meta Platforms +1.8%, Alphabet +1.7%, Amazon +1.4%, Tesla +1.3%, Microsoft +1%, Nvidia +0.9%, Apple +0.1%). While Asian markets closed mixed, European stocks advanced as broader risk sentiment gets a boost from a pullback in energy prices. Brent crude futures for September fell 9% to around $88 a barrel (these hit $100 late last...

Futures Flat As Traders Brace For Weekend Iran Escalation
US equity futures are flat on the final trading session of the week, with Tech lagging, as traders hold off on big bets ahead of the weekend, with the fragile truce in the Middle East keeping geopolitical risk front of mind. Overnight, the US said Iran talks will continue, a positive step amid the recent escalation near the Strait of Hormuz (then again the market never reacted negatively to the latest strikes in the first place). As of 7:45am ET, S&P futures are flat and Nasdaq futures are down 0.2%; pre-market, Mag 7 stocks are mixed: META +1.8%, MSFT +0.9%, while NVDA and AAPL are down 0.6% and 0.4%, respectively. Notably, META has been outperforming since the announcement of its Muse Spark AI model and its strategy for the cloud business. SemiAnalysis, whose "unbiased", often wrong but never in doubt, views at some point be investigated by a regulator, also struck a positive note on META's AI development (here). Bond yie...
