BREAKING: Israeli official familiar with US military preparations says "high likelihood" of imminent US strike on Iran. Nuclear talks collapsed.
Another official: "It's hard for us to see the Americans walking this back."
Not posturing. Not speculation. Official assessment: the machinery is moving and unlikely to stop.
Context: largest US presence in decades. Fifth Fleet at sea. F-22s crossed Atlantic. Diplomats evacuated. Commercial flight anomalies.
The diplomatic runway is empty. What comes next is no longer "if."
BREAKING: Israeli security establishment indicates attack on Iran is a "done deal." Finalized. Imminent.
No more "if." Only "when."
Iran will respond. Proxies in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen are mobilized. US bases on alert. Strait of Hormuz becomes a flashpoint.
The region is hours from the edge. #Imminent #War #Geopolitics
imminent domain
inane eminent domain

Almost
Wonders surround us,
if only we learn
to use our souls
instead of our eyes.
Everything is transitory.
The senses deceive,
words collapse
like an uneven
butterfly’s flight,
so let us treasure
what we feel.
Let us not shiver
in the cold,
frightened
by the thought
of imminent joy,
by the sound
of an unanswered chord.
