Heimsdalls Brief posted an attributed cross-bloc assessment saying Trump pledged no US attack on Iran before 3 November while keeping the blockade in full force and claiming 22 million barrels crossed Hormuz overnight, none Iranian. The same post attributed three-day strike planning and carrier movements to US media and reported, via CNN and a congressional report, 81 US aircraft, helicopters and drones destroyed or damaged at about $3.3 billion. A separate Al-Ghayb post relayed Hadath as saying proposals to Trump covered Iranian military capabilities in the coastal strip and 50 to 80 kilometres inland. These are attributed recaps and assessments, not confirmation that a strike has been ordered or that the blockade is operationally safe.

Evidence: Is the midterm pledge credible?, Hadath report on proposals to attack Iranian military capabilities in the coastal strip
Single X posts from Heimsdalls Brief and Al-Ghayb were recovered. They cite NYT, WSJ, Axios, CNN, a congressional report and Hadath textually, without URLs in the posts. The event preserves the claims as attributed recaps and does not treat the midterm pledge as an operational guarantee.
