Now that we have learned that #Iran was not an #imminent threat and, in fact, was about to agree to a nuclear deal that was better than the last one, I believe #Trump got played by #netanyahu and the #Jared #Witkoff supertwins into going to war with Iran so we wouldn't get a long ranging deal.
The only #Imminent Threat to the World is #Trump

Especially elderly people like president #trump often mix that up – in #POTUS' case it was misreading from a teleprompter. So here's the language tool formerly known as #AI's advice: #imminent vs. #eminent

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."

#Imminent #Strike #Iran

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

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.
