Peloni: WSJ reports the departure of non-essential staff at US embassies is in anticipation f an impending Israeli attack. Meanwhile testimony by the head of Centcom, Gen. Kurilla, was also delayed. So are the reports of an Israeli attack in earnest, or is this more posturing by Washington towards its hopes of negotiating with Iran? Maybe its both. Notably, amid reports that this weekend’s talks with Iran have been cancelled, Steve Witkoff is still expected to be traveling to Oman for the talks.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just told Congress that there are “plenty of indications” that Iran is actively moving toward a nuclear weapon. Not theoretical. Not down the road. Right now.
That is why Defense Secretary Hegseth has just now authorized the departure of non-essential staff at US embassies and military bases across the Middle East.
That doesn’t happen for no reason. That only happens when serious threats are on the table.
When President Trump was asked why this is happening?
He responded…
“You’ll have to see. Thank you.”
And then…
“They are being moved out. It could be a dangerous place… Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. We won’t allow it.”
This is serious. And if you’ve followed me long enough, you know I’ve been saying this all along: despite the media’s headlines over the past few months trying to paint growing daylight between Trump and Netanyahu, the truth is, they are totally aligned.
Both men understand the stakes. Both know exactly who the enemy is. And both are committed to stopping Iran from acquiring the most dangerous weapon on earth.
Let’s also be honest, President Trump has sincerely tried the diplomatic path with Iran, not because he’s weak, but because he wanted to show the world, and especially the growing isolationist wing of his own Republican Party, that he did everything possible to avoid military confrontation. That he gave diplomacy a real shot. He truly prefers the diplomatic direction and refraining from military action.
But Iran has never negotiated in good faith. They’ve taken advantage of American weakness for years and used the time to push forward, arming Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and inching closer and closer to nuclear weapons.
This isn’t just about Israel. This is about a global Islamic terror empire with a 1,400+ year jihadist ideology to take over the world in the name of Allah having nuclear protection. That is unacceptable.
And Trump is no fool. If he sees that Iran is playing him for time in order to develop nuclear weapons, he will stop the diplomacy and go to plan B.
Make no mistake: something is happening.
The region is shifting. The red lines are being tested.
Stay alert. Stand proud.
Israel must be strong because this is about our survival. America must be wise because this is also about protecting America. And together, we must never allow the Islamic Republic of Iran to develop nuclear weapons.
Strengthen your faith in the one above. We will come out of this bigger and stronger than ever before. And to see where we are today, and internalize that Iran & Qatar intended to destroy Israel with their Oct. 7th funded invasion/war.
Am Yisrael Chai!!!
Iran has been allowed to cheat and lie in bad faith!
Except when it comes to eliminate the US and IL.
Yes, this could be it, and as the article says, we must strengthen in the One Above and pray as never before. May Israel achieve complete victory and suffer no casualties as they do whatever must be done to keep them safe.
Unless something changes war is coming with Iran soon!
