As the security situation in Israel continues to evolve, the United States Embassy is exploring possible options to assist American citizens who wish to leave the country.
Chaim V’Chessed has learned that the Embassy is considering organizing flights or sea transport to evacuate U.S. nationals. While no official announcement has yet been made, the Embassy is currently collecting information from Americans in Israel who are seeking to depart.

TRUMP: “If there’s an attack [on U.S. assets], we’ll know almost immediately, with modern equipment, who made the attack — and those people will be very, very unhappy.”

POTUS: “We’re ready, willing, and able. We’ve been speaking to Iran and we’ll see what happens.”

POTUS: on Iran: “I’m giving them a period of time — and I would say two weeks would be the maximum.”

Despite Iran’s rapidly growing stockpile of enriched uranium, which intelligence experts say cannot plausibly be used for civilian purposes, American intelligence agencies continue to diverge from Israel’s more urgent assessment that Tehran is actively working toward building a nuclear weapon, according to a report published Thursday.
As detailed by The New York Times, the Mossad estimates that Iran could put together a nuclear weapon in just 15 days. U.S. intelligence, however, maintains a more cautious timeline, suggesting that Iran would require several months to a year to build a bomb—and that, as of now, it has not taken definitive steps to begin that process.

Israel kicked off Operation “Rising Lion” last Friday, launching a sweeping military assault that dealt a major blow to Iran’s leadership and nuclear infrastructure. The first wave of attacks successfully targeted high-ranking members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and key players in Tehran’s atomic program.
In a surprising detail, the Jerusalem Post reports, the component of the mission aimed at Iran’s nuclear scientists was codenamed “Narnia” by Israeli forces—a reference to the fantasy realm, underscoring how bold and unlikely such a strike might have seemed before it was executed.

Michelle Obama recently shared a candid moment during an episode of her podcast “IMO,” revealing that she was relieved not to have had a son—because, in her words, he would have been just like her husband, Barack Obama.
The 61-year-old former first lady made the comment on Wednesday’s show, which she co-hosts with her brother Craig Robinson. During a lighthearted conversation with radio host Angie Martinez of Hot 97, Martinez jokingly suggested that Michelle “should have thrown a boy in the mix.”
“I’m so glad I didn’t have a boy,” Michelle responded plainly.
“Because he would have been a Barack Obama. Ooh,” she added, glancing downward and shaking her head for added effect.
