U.S. President Donald Trump expressed confidence that the conflict with Iran is moving toward a resolution following talks with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani. In a separate interview, Trump described a resumption of war as "highly unlikely," provided a "very sustainable agreement" regarding nuclear issues and shipping in the Strait of Hormuz is achieved.

Despite diplomatic discussions, low-level military friction persists. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard reported that three oil tankers caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz, while Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated Israel's mission against Iran remains "still not complete." Additionally, Iranian officials in Hormozgan Province reported U.S. airstrikes on Qeshm Island landed outside populated areas, causing no casualties or structural damage.

Chipmaker Nvidia has launched an internal investigation into Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang following revelations of an extramarital affair with an alleged Chinese intelligence operative. The inquiry, initiated after reports by major international media outlets, centers on potential national security risks and corporate data vulnerabilities given Nvidia's critical role in the global artificial intelligence chip market.

Huang admitted to the relationship, sparking widespread concerns over espionage and vulnerability to target operations. The scandal has already triggered significant market volatility, wiping out over $350 billion in market capitalization as investors react to governance uncertainties.

Despite the mounting pressure on Nvidia's board, U.S. President Donald Trump publicly backed Huang. Industry analysts emphasize that the situation carries substantial geopolitical implications due to Nvidia’s dominance in advanced microchip manufacturing.

Severe autumn rain and sudden flooding have inundated temporary refugee camps across the Gaza Strip, submerging an estimated 70,000 tents sheltering displaced Palestinians. Central areas, including Nuseirat and Deir al-Balah, experienced extensive flooding, leaving hundreds of thousands of people without dry shelter as seasonal temperatures drop.

Local health officials and international aid agencies warned of an escalating humanitarian emergency. Estimates regarding the affected population range from 700,000 to over one million people, with United Nations representatives stating that nearly 900,000 individuals face immediate danger from exposure and inadequate sanitation. Palestinian authorities urged the international community to press Israel for the unrestricted entry of winterization supplies, emergency shelters, and essential humanitarian aid to prevent further casualties.
