⚠️ SAUDI SIGNAL TO U.S. ON IRAN STRIKE AS GENEVA TALKS SET; IRAN ON HIGH ALERT, BAHRAIN TESTS ALERTS, HEZBULLAH POSTS THREAT

‼️ Saudi message on potential U.S. strike: A Middle Eastern diplomat told Israel Hayom that Saudi Arabia recently conveyed to Washington it no longer blocks a U.S. strike against Iran.

The message was reportedly conveyed following increasing American pressure and amid a perception that Tehran is 'stalling' in the negotiations.

A Saudi royal source told Israeli Channel 12: "Khamenei and the regime must be eliminated, one by one".

🔸 U.S.–Iran nuclear talks scheduled: Oman has confirmed that the new round of indirect nuclear talks between the U.S. and Iran is set for Thursday in Geneva. Oman’s Foreign Minister, Badr Albusaidi, announced that US–Iran negotiations are set to take place in Geneva this Thursday, noting there is “a positive push to go the extra mile towards finalizing the deal,”.

⚠️ Iran signals defiance and readiness: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqhchi "Curious to know why we do not capitulate? Because we are Iranian". Despite backchannel nuclear talks, Iranian officials reportedly believe U.S. strikes are “inevitable and imminent,” placing armed forces on high alert - NYT.

♟️ U.S. posture and strike timing assessment: At this point with the USS Gerald R. Ford getting into position, U.S. strikes can happen at any time.

And we’ve been in a situation before when strikes took place despite a meeting being scheduled.

The reality is the Iranian regime likely can’t offer enough to make a diplomatic off-ramp attractive enough to the U.S., making these talks a continued waste of time.

⚠️ Regional readiness signals: Bahrain conducted a test of its emergency alert system amid escalating regional tensions.

⚠️ Hizbullah post: An unusual post and threat from Hizbullah "By the hand of Allah," "Tomorrow at 17:00."
