Israel READY TO STRIKE Iran’s Nuke Sites? Military Plans FINALIZED Amid Trump-Bibi Emergency Call

As Iran prepares to present a nuclear proposal to the U.S., Israeli military plans for a potential unilateral strike are nearly complete. Reports suggest Israel is moving munitions and reviewing final scenarios, while diplomatic efforts falter. A call between Trump and Netanyahu triggered emergency security meetings, highlighting deepening mistrust of Iran’s intentions. Israeli officials fear Tehran won’t abandon enrichment, while the U.S. seeks full denuclearization. With Iran weakened by sanctions and regional proxies losing ground, Israeli urgency grows—though U.S. officials warn that a strike could ignite a broader regional conflict. #Israel #Iran #NuclearTalks #MiddleEastTensions #IsraelVsIran #USIranTalks #IDF #IranNuclear #BunkerBusters #Netanyahu #Trump #MilitaryStrike #DiplomaticStandoff #Hezbollah #ProxyConflict #IsraelDefenseForces #Sanctions #USForeignPolicy #Geopolitics #BreakingNews #IranDeal #MiddleEastCrisis #StrategicStrike #SecurityAlert #EmergencyMeetings #MilitaryPreparedness #IranSanctions #NuclearEnrichment #RegionalSecurity #IsraelNews Also Read Princess Iman Pahlavi, Granddaughter of Iran’s Last Shah, Marries Her Jewish Partner in Paris Ceremony :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/princess-iman-pahlavi-granddaughter-of-iran-s-last-shah-marries-her-jewish-partner-in-paris-ceremo-4176431.html?ref=DMDesc Israel Retrieves Body of Thai Hostage as Military Actions Result in 95 Fatalities in Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-retrieves-body-of-thai-hostage-amid-gaza-conflict-011-4175299.html?ref=DMDesc Sobhan Samadi: Shaping The Future Of Trading Talent In Iran :: https://www.oneindia.com/partner-content/sobhan-samadi-shaping-the-future-of-trading-talent-in-iran-4173375.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.336~

Nancy Pelosi BLASTS Trump's 'ILLEGAL' Troop Move Into California | Asks,‘Where Was This on Jan 6?’

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi is criticizing Donald Trump for deploying the National Guard to Los Angeles without Governor Gavin Newsom's consent, calling it a violation of Article 10 of the Constitution. Pelosi compared this to Trump’s refusal to deploy the Guard during the January 6 Capitol riot, despite bipartisan pleas. “And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California,” she said. With legal and political tensions rising, Pelosi warns: "Something is very wrong with this picture." #NancyPelosi #Trump #NationalGuard #Constitution #Article10 #CaliforniaPolitics #GavinNewsom #LosAngeles #PelosiStatement #CapitolRiots #January6 #PelosiVsTrump #BreakingNews #PoliticalTensions #RuleOfLaw #USPolitics #TrumpControversy #BipartisanConcerns #MilitaryPower #PelosiSpeaksOut #TrumpNews #CapitolAttack #GuardDeployment #FederalPower #CaliforniaNews #TrumpVsNewsom #ConstitutionalCrisis #PelosiAlert #NationalSecurity #DemocracyWatch Also Read US Deploys 700 Marines To Los Angeles As Immigration Protests Intensify Against Trump's Diktat :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-deploys-700-marines-to-los-angeles-as-immigration-protests-intensify-against-trumps-diktat-4176947.html?ref=DMDesc Protests Intensify In Los Angeles After Trump Deploys Hundreds Of National Guard Troops :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/protests-intensify-in-los-angeles-after-trump-deploys-hundreds-of-national-guard-troops-4175915.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Warns Musk Against Supporting Democrats: 'Serious Consequences If He Does That' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-warns-musk-against-supporting-democrats-serious-consequences-if-he-does-that-4175377.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.336~
