- 3:40Crooke examines possible Israeli coalition arrangements involving Eisenkot, Arab parties, Lieberman and Herzog.

- 18:14The discussion questions the military practicality of nuclear strikes against deeply buried facilities.
Danny Haiphong puts Tucker Carlson's warning on screen, then asks Alastair Crooke to make sense of it. The former British diplomat's opening assessment is less certain than the video's emphatic title: "Well, fog. In a word, quite a lot of fog is around."
Their discussion, the most watched of Haiphong's new uploads this week, examines Carlson's allegation that Benjamin Netanyahu was pressing Donald Trump to authorize a nuclear strike on Iran's Pickaxe Mountain facility. That is the allegation they discuss, not an announced military decision. Crooke connects the warning to Israeli coalition negotiations and the American midterms, while arguing that there is no evidence of a sudden Iranian move toward a nuclear weapon.
The interview gathered roughly 239,000 views. Seyed Mohammad Marandi's discussion of Iranian retaliation was another substantial draw, followed by an appearance from Larry Johnson and Lawrence Wilkerson. Across eight uploads, Haiphong kept returning to how electoral politics might shape decisions about Iran.
Attention has since shifted toward the post-election conversation with Anthony Aguilar and Ray McGovern. It has the channel's strongest daily viewing momentum, followed by Scott Ritter's response to Carlson's warning. The newer discussion moves into congressional war funding, executive authority and possible routes away from escalation.
Subscribers were unchanged over the week, even as daily viewing rose well above its usual level. Among nearby military and geopolitics channels, RFU News also had sharply elevated daily viewing, while Perun was quieter than usual. For Haiphong, the week's emphasis has moved from anticipating the election to examining what its outcome could mean for the war.
