Israel is preparing to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities, according to a leak to CNN. CNN reported on Tuesday that the United States obtained new intel suggesting Israel is currently planning on striking Iran’s nuclear and uranium enrichment facilities. No final decision has been made, according to CNN. CNN reported: The US has obtained new intelligence suggesting that Israel is making preparations to strike Iranian nuclear facilities, even as the Trump administration has been pursuing a diplomatic deal with Tehran, multiple US officials familiar with the latest intelligence told CNN. Such a strike would be a brazen break with President Donald Trump, US officials said. It could also risk tipping off a broader regional conflict in the Middle East — something the US has sought to avoid since the war in Gaza inflamed tensions beginning in 2023. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/05/leak-israel-preparing-strike-irans-nuclear-facilities/ [Less than one hour, streamed one day ago] US Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that the new government in Syria may be “weeks away” from collapse and civil war. Speaking to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Rubio said, “It is our assessment that, frankly, the transitional authority, given the challenges they’re facing, are maybe weeks—not many months—away from potential collapse and a full-scale civil war of epic proportions, basically the country splitting up.” Rubio was referring to sectarian violence against the Alawite and Druze minority groups in Syria. This issue concerned the Trump administration even as the president met with the new Syrian leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, and lifted sanctions against the country that were imposed during the Assad regime. Rubio, who met with Syria’s foreign minister in Turkey on Thursday, blamed the sectarian violence on Bashar al-Assad, Syria’s deposed leader. “They are dealing with deep internal distrust in that country because Assad deliberately pitted these groups against each other,” Rubio said. He explained that the main motivation for lifting the sanctions was to allow other countries to provide assistance. “We will not allow regime forces to move south of Damascus or to pose any danger to the Druze community,” Netanyahu said in a joint statement with Defense Minister Israel Katz. https://worldisraelnews.com/secretary-of-state-rubio-syria-may-be-weeks-away-from-collapse/ "If there is an opportunity for a temporary ceasefire to free the hostages – and I stress: temporary – we will be ready," he says at a press conference broadcast on TV. According to Netanyahu, Israel is certain that at least 20 people from the terrorist-stamped Hamas hostages are alive. He says that Israel has managed to bring home 148 people alive through various exchanges and releases. The statements come after Israel has stepped up its offensive in Gaza in recent days. When the military campaign is over, the entire Gaza Strip will be under Israeli control and Hamas will be completely defeated, says Netanyahu. The Prime Minister also comments on the humanitarian situation and the international pressure to allow more emergency aid into Gaza. To maintain our operational freedom and to ensure that our closest allies can continue to support us, we must avoid a humanitarian crisis, he says. Netanyahu repeats Israel's goals with the war: defeat Hamas, free the hostages, and chart a new course for Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the terror attack in Washington, DC on Wednesday in a statement pointed on X on Thursday, adding: ‘Free Palestine’ is just today’s version of ‘Heil Hitler’.” Netanyahu was referring to the fact that the alleged murder, Elias Rodriguez, 31, of Chicago, shouted “Free, free Palestine!” and other familiar pro-Palestinian slogans after murdering two Israeli embassy staffers. Netanyahu also used his statement to slam the leaders of France, the United Kingdom, and Canada for their insistence that Israel stop the war in Gaza before Hamas had been disarmed and removed from authority. He said that if those leaders’ advice were to be followed, they would turn October 7 into a national independence day for Palestinians instead of a national disgrace.
