⚠️☢️ CIA: Iran “literally a meter away” from nuclear weapon
⁉️🇺🇸 With the White House making conflicting statements, many are asking "what the fuck is going on." Trust us, we want to know too.
Is this a high-stakes poker game or a clear march to nuclear war? On the one hand, Trump’s two-week delay might be a strategic move — giving Iran a window to negotiate before adecisive strike; on the other, it could give Iran the green light to complete the bomb, as the White House itself admits — which could be the go-ahead for a nuclear war.
One thing is clear: Trump is balancing on the edge, trying not to go down in History as the Last President of the #USA.
Meanwhile, Republican voters writ large would support the US government launching strikes on Iran by 58% to 25%, with 17% neutral or unsure, per the poll.
«CIA Director Ric Grenell told a closed-door congressional hearing that Iran is “literally a meter away” from possessing a nuclear weapon, emphasizing the urgency of the threat» — The Hill
«In a classified briefing, CIA Director Ric Grenell warned lawmakers that Iran is extremely close to acquiring nuclear weapons capability, stating “the finish line is just a meter away» — Politico
«U.S. officials have not ruled out the use of tactical nuclear weapons in a strike against Iran’s deeply buried Fordow nuclear facility, given the difficulty of destroying it with conventional weapons» — The Washington Post
«Military planners are considering a range of options to neutralize Iran’s Fordow site, including the possible use of tactical nuclear weapons, as conventional bunker-busters may not guarantee complete destruction» — New York Times
«U.S. defense officials have not dismissed the option of using tactical nuclear weapons against Iran’s fortified nuclear facilities, including Fordow, amid escalating tensions» — Reuters
❌ And yes, of course, all the articles from the major media have already been deleted - business as usual. But at least it explains why Trump delays, hesitant to strike. It's practically a stalemate on the world chessboard. The US can't launch a nuclear strike without starting WW3. But it can't allow Iran to have nuclear weapons either. What to do about it - no one knows.

📝 🇪🇺 🇫🇷 Mario Nawfal on X: Europe's riots are just the beginning. The real economic shock hasn't even arrived yet.
I spoke with economist Philip Pilkington about the unrest spreading across France, Italy and Albania.
He thinks we're watching the early stages of something much bigger.
One statistic really caught my attention.
According to Pilkington, France's inflation-adjusted household food consumption has fallen roughly 6.4% since 2022. He suspects the poorest households have suffered far steeper cuts.
Now add another surge in energy prices.
Pilkington pointed to rice futures rising 70% this year, wheat and sugar climbing 40%, and fertilizer shortages threatening next year's harvest.
His prediction is that the worst food inflation could arrive this winter or next spring.
And there's a political problem sitting right on top of it.
Governments across Europe are already deeply unpopular. People are struggling to afford basic necessities, and another prolonged energy ...
