🚨 Israel wants war NOW – but Trump team is split – reports

Israel is getting impatient. According to Reuters, top Israeli officials told the Trump administration they won’t wait two more weeks to strike Iran's nuclear facilities. Tel Aviv wants immediate action — with or without Washington.

In a “tense” call with US officials, Netanyahu reportedly demanded urgent strikes on Iran’s Fordow facility — a heavily fortified underground site that only America’s 30,000-pound “bunker buster” bombs could allegedly destroy.

But not everyone on Team Trump is on board. VP JD Vance reportedly pushed back, warning that Israel could drag the US into another disastrous war. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was also on the call, Reuters noted, as Trump himself still teeters between diplomacy and escalation.

Meanwhile, B-2 bombers are quietly heading to Guam — a move that might hint at U.S. plans.

One source put it bluntly: “I don’t see them waiting much longer,” the report said.

🇦🇲💰Armenian businessman’s arrest linked to socio-economic turmoil plaguing Armenia - journalist

Samvel Karapetyan’s arrest on trumped up charges of incitement to overthrow the government following his defense Armenia’s Apostolic Church is a sign of the country’s deteriorating socio-economic situation, Lebanese-Armenian journalist Sevak Akopyan told RT Arabic.

Karapetyan’s arrest comes against the backdrop of Armenia’s difficult labor situation, from the lack of labor unions to the fact that the state, which controls employees in the government sector, lacks the ability to influence the broader business sector, Akopyan, the editor-in-chief of the Lebanese daily Zartonk, explained.

The businessman’s arrest amid his defense of the church - the last remaining national institution in Armenia, is another consideration behind Prime Minister Pashinyan’s decision to act against him, Akopyan said, noting that it gives Pashinyan an opportunity to nationalize Karapetyan’s electricity company.
