Newtalk新聞 ​伊朗強硬派政治團體「強大伊朗陣線」（Strong Iran Front）於 24 日發表聲明，要求至高領袖穆吉塔巴·哈米尼（Mojtaba Khamenei）將「製造核武器」納入國防政策之一。此消息由接近伊朗革命衛隊的法爾斯通訊社（Fars News Agency）報導。 ​聲明指出，考量到美國與以色列過去攻擊伊朗的背景，「敵對國家皆擁有核彈頭」。儘管已故的前至高領袖阿里·哈米尼曾透過伊斯蘭教令（Fatwa）禁止製造核武器，但該團體呼籲應「重新審視」並進行方針轉變。 該團體還要求完全拒絕與美國談判。該組織堅決反對川普政府要求出口高濃縮鈾的所謂要求，認為這將削弱威懾力，並呼籲考慮退出《不擴散核武器條約》（NPT）。 該組織指出，如果美國或以色列發動攻擊，「敵對國家擁有核武」，並認為與其進行毫無結果的談判，不如將重點放在避免經濟制裁、解決國內經濟問題以及確保強大的軍事威懾力上。延伸閱讀：才說美期中選舉前不會攻擊伊朗 川普改口：可能再來一次「史詩怒火」行動情資示警伊朗威脅升級！美國緊急縮減中東4國大使館人員配置ISW：俄軍在戰場上沒贏 談判只為從美國獲得經濟讓步川普再提對伊朗動武推升油價！ 美股道瓊下殺652點、台積電ADR漲1.49%不明三角物體無聲懸停垂直爬升！美軍觀察員目擊神祕飛行物飆破 2900 公里

Newtalk新聞 10月14日，川普一天跑了兩場造勢。一場在亞歷桑那，一場在蒙大拿。隔天的新聞標題，幾乎都是同一句：伊朗永遠不會有核武。 但我注意到的，是另一句話。在蒙大拿，他說："I should have probably left the leaders because I don't know who the hell we're negotiating with." 我也許該留下他們的領導人，因為我根本不知道，我們在跟誰談判。 各位，這句話很少見。川普很少說自己做錯了什麼。這一次，他至少說了「也許」。而且同一天在亞利桑那，他也講了類似的話。講一次可能是口誤，一天講兩次，就值得我們停下來想一想。 這個節目一路走來，我關心的主線一直是同一條：武器去核。今天我想用一個老問題，換一個新角度來問。 老問題是：川普到底要什麼？大家吵了很多年，有人說他要錢，有人說他要面子，有人說他要諾貝爾和平獎。 新角度是：打掉核武之後，誰來簽字？ 因為去核，最後一定要落在一張紙上。有一張紙，就要有人簽字。簽了字，還要有人兌現。 今天我們走三站：伊朗、北韓，還有下個月的深圳 APEC。最後，照例留一題神算題給大家。 伊朗：打掉了核武，卻找不到簽字的人 先看川普在蒙大拿怎麼說。他說，伊朗沒有海軍、沒有空軍，陸軍被打垮了，領導人也不在了："They had their first-string …
