Lead: Israel Preps For War With Iran

The U.S. may not be keen to join Israel to start a major war with Iran but the U.S. still reportedly shipped plane-loads of bunker-busting bombs to Israel.
Israeli broadcaster KAN reported that the “bunker-busting bombs” were amongst a shipment of “defensive weapons” and they are “in anticipation of a possible joint US-Israeli strike, should nuclear negotiations between Washington and Tehran fail.”
Negotiations continued with Iran this weekend and President Trump said in advance of that meeting that he’s “not in a rush to do it.” By “it,” he means start a deadly war with Iran.
Israel may be planning to go it alone then, with U.S. weapons of course. Reuters reports that if the U.S. is not game for this attack, “Israel has not ruled out an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities in the coming months despite President Donald Trump telling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the U.S. was for now unwilling to support such a move, according to an Israeli official and two other people familiar with the matter.”
The second meeting between U.S. officials and Iranian officials did seem to be productive. Another meeting is expected on Wednesday for “technical discussions.” Does that mean they will hammer out the details of an agreement?
But what happens if the U.S. brokers a deal and Israel bombs Iran anyway? The U.S. doesn’t usually condemn Israeli war crimes. The U.S. did not condemn the killing of 15 medics in Gaza, which the IDF now says was a “professional failure.” Over the weekend, the IDF also reportedly bombed tent camps in Gaza, killing at least 16 people, many of them children. There has not been a U.S. response to either tragedy.
More Signal War Chat

The New York Times has a bombshell report about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. It claims that not only did he participate in the Signal chat with plans to bomb Yemen, he had a separate Signal group where he shared those details with “his wife, brother and personal lawyer” and “about a dozen other people”
The report is “according to four people with knowledge of the chat” but The Guardian claims to have also “independently confirmed the existence of Hegseth’s own private group chat.”
The chat reportedly contained flight schedules for the aircraft that would strike the Houthis, the same information that was accidentally shared with The Atlantic reporter Jeffrey Goldberg. Two senior advisers in the group reportedly included Dan Caldwell and Darin Selnick. Both men were put on leave last week after being accused of leaking unauthorized information.
Would he do this? His lawyer and wife, a former Fox News producer, should know better than to have this on their phones. It would seem that all involved would know better so is this true or is there a story behind the story? For instance, he has been against strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. Could this be related?

WHO Pandemic Treaty

The World Health Organization says that it has finalized the Pandemic Treaty that it has been working on for three years.
This is the document that they tried to get passed last year but too many countries opposed it. The United States has withdrawn from the organization, dumping cold water on the idea.
The original proposal was a binding agreement that gave the WHO the power to implement lockdowns, vaccine requirements, and redistribute all goods and food production on the WHO’s own assessment of “pandemic risks.” It was an obvious usurping of national sovereignty.
The new proposal “affirms the sovereignty of countries to address public health matters within their borders, and provides that nothing in the draft agreement shall be interpreted as providing WHO any authority to direct, order, alter or prescribe national laws or policies, or mandate States to take specific actions, such as ban or accept travellers, impose vaccination mandates or therapeutic or diagnostic measures or implement lockdowns.”
Or so they say. The actual proposal has yet to be published. If this is true, it is a major backing down.
