Mike Baker: 本期节目主要关注三个重要事件：首先，伊朗消息人士透露，伊朗政权正在推迟对以色列的军事回应，据报道，这是在期待与即将上任的特朗普总统进行谈判；其次，白宫泄密事件有了重大进展，一名CIA官员因泄露以色列袭击伊朗的计划而被捕；最后，据报道，乌克兰安全部门策划了在克里米亚的汽车炸弹袭击事件，导致一名被控犯有战争罪的俄罗斯高级海军军官丧生。节目还讨论了特朗普和拜登之间的权力过渡会面以及特朗普对国务卿的任命。伊朗官员: 由于特朗普的胜选，伊朗推迟了计划中的对以色列的第三次弹道导弹袭击，希望与特朗普达成协议。伊朗此前对以色列进行了两次导弹袭击，但均被以色列的导弹防御系统有效拦截。以色列在10月25日对伊朗的关键军事基础设施进行了报复性打击。以色列总理内塔尼亚胡: 警告伊朗，再次袭击以色列将对其经济造成毁灭性打击。指出伊朗10月1日的导弹袭击耗资约23亿美元，这些资金本可以用于国内预算。内塔尼亚胡的言论既试图削弱伊朗人民对神权政体的支持，也暗含威胁，如果伊朗再次袭击，以色列将对其经济造成重大损害。 Asif William Rahman: CIA官员Asif William Rahman因泄露机密文件被捕，面临间谍罪指控，可能面临长期监禁。泄露的文件暗示以色列可能袭击德黑兰的军事和石油设施，还包括国家地理空间情报局的文件，详细说明了弹药的移动和以色列空军使用空地导弹的演习。乌克兰安全部门: 策划了一起汽车炸弹袭击事件，炸死了俄罗斯海军的一名高级指挥官，以报复其参与针对平民的导弹袭击。乌克兰安全部门辩称，根据国际战争法，对切连科夫斯基的暗杀是正当的。俄罗斯当局: 最初隐瞒了遇害指挥官的身份，但俄罗斯Telegram频道后来透露了他的身份。谴责汽车炸弹袭击是恐怖主义行为。坚称黑海舰队不以平民为目标，但乌克兰方面则提供了相反的证据。
