According to a report from CBS News, Israel is reportedly ready to initiate a full-scale military campaign against Iran, based on information from multiple sources familiar with the situation.
American officials have been made aware of Israel’s readiness and are preparing for potential Iranian responses, particularly those that might target American personnel or facilities in Iraq. In light of the possible threat, the U.S. State Department has directed embassies situated near Iranian proxies to activate their Emergency Action Committees (EACs). Additionally, all non-essential American government staff in Iraq have been instructed to leave, and the Pentagon has authorized voluntary departure for military families stationed throughout the Middle East.

Once again, I was granted the zechus to spend Shavuos in Eretz Yisroel, a land where holiness is not remembered but felt, where the air itself hums with ancient echoes.
When coming to Yerushalayim, you are coming to a place beyond space, to a rhythm beyond time.
Yerushalayim on any Yom Tov is a jewel alight with kedusha, but on Shavuos, it shimmers with something deeper. As the night unfolds, thousands flow like rivers through her narrow streets, drawn to the botei medrash by an inner fire, eyes wide, hearts yearning, feet quick with purpose.

JERUSALEM (VINnews) — Tensions continue to ri

The U.N. nuclear watchdog’s board of governors on Thursday formally found that Iran isn’t complying with its nuclear obligations for the first time in 20 years, a move that could lead to further tensions and set in motion an effort to restore United Nations sanctions on Tehran later this year. Iran reacted immediately, saying it will establish a new enrichment facility “in a secure location” and that “other measures are also being planned.” “The Islamic Republic of Iran has no choice but to respond to this political resolution,” the Iranian Foreign Ministry and the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran said in a joint statement.

IDF forces carried out a special targeted operation in Syria overnight Wednesday, apprehending several Hamas terrorists involved in plotting multiple terrorist acts against Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers from within Syria. During the mission, troops also discovered and seized weapons found in the vicinity. The captured terrorists were transferred to Israel, where they were interrogated by intelligence officers from Unit 504. The operation was carried out based on intelligence collected in recent weeks.

Israel is mulling taking military action against Iran in the coming days, most likely without US support, NBC News reported on Thursday morning, citing five people with knowledge of the situation. According to the report, Israel has “become more serious” about a unilateral strike on Iran due to the negotiations between the US and Iran that would allow for the Islamic Republic to continue with uranium enrichment. US President Donald Trump reportedly told Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu earlier this week that he will not provide Israel with a green light to attack Iran at this time. On the other hand, Trump has also expressed frustration with Tehran, which has taken a hard line in negotiations in recent days.
