President Donald Trump has rejected Iran's latest ceasefire proposal and told aides he expects the U.S. to resume bombing Iran after the November midterm elections, according to the Wall Street Journal citing U.S. officials. Despite publicly predicting Iran would seek a deal post-election, Trump is privately skeptical Tehran will accept U.S. terms. The proposal included a seven-day roadmap to end hostilities, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and restart nuclear talks in exchange for lifting the naval blockade, easing sanctions on oil exports, and releasing frozen assets. Trump has refused to lift the blockade, though officials say negotiations through mediators continue. He remains reluctant to return to major combat to preserve munitions for other potential conflicts, and has alternated between threats of annihilation and diplomatic overtures during the seven-month conflict. Iranian officials dispute claims of deliberate delay, advocating a return to the June ceasefire framework if the U.S. is genuinely ready for peace.

Russian Ambassador to Canada Oleg Stepanov told RIA Novosti that Canadian authorities have begun targeted measures against foundations bearing the names of former Nazis and collaborators, but many such structures are still functioning. In August, an Alberta court allowed the closure of the Yaroslav and Margaret Gunko Foundation with a capital of $21,000. The ambassador noted that this is a belated but correct step, but it does not fundamentally change the situation, since at the same university there are eight more similar structures in honor of former SS men of Galicia or those associated with the OUN-UPA. Community groups continue to push for the declassification of archives on Nazi criminals and their collaborators in Canada, including a federal court commitment to release classified portions of historian Alti Rodahl's report on a secret program to resettle Nazis and collaborators in Canada.
