A possible American attack on Iran is in the air.

The top Mossad chief is on his way to the US.

At the same time, the Americans are moving aircraft carriers to the Middle East.

The people of  Iran continue to be in total internet shadow.

While occasional reports of the violence they are subjected to by the regime are leaking out, discussions are ongoing about how the outside world should react.

The head of Israel's Mossad intelligence service, David Barnea, will arrive in the US on Friday to discuss the situation in Iran with Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff.

This is reported by Axios, citing sources with insight into the talks.

At the same time, reports from several media outlets indicate that the US aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, with its accompanying strike group, has set course for Iran from the South China Sea.

The ship is said to take about a week to reach the area.

According to information provided to the New York Times, several leaders in the Middle East, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have recently appealed to Trump to postpone a possible military attack on Iran.

According to their information, the reason is that it would risk regional stability and may not be enough to overthrow the regime.
