📝 Anytime between 4:00 PM ET on Friday to 9:00 PM ET on Sunday is when the first USAF strikes will begin on Iran; admin believes that it will begin on Sunday once the USS Gerald R. Ford arrives, but everything is in place to have the attacks start earlier. Markets close at 4 PM on Friday, and it will become Monday morning in Iran at 9 PM Sunday Eastern Time.

One variable I haven't seen bought up is Donald Trump's State of the Union address on Tuesday. Trump will want to talk about him striking Iran during this address. He will frame it as a major success and spin it as the pinnacle of his already interventionist foreign policy. This is a major reason Trump will strike before Tuesday specifically.

Also of note is the War Powers act being made by Representatives Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna, which seeks to prohibit attacks in Iran without Congressional approval. This will be introduced next week.

🇺🇸❌🇮🇱 – Newly released DOJ files reveal that between 2015 and 2016, Jeffrey Epstein was offered multimillion-dollar deals to invest in sensitive U.S. government infrastructure, including FBI offices in Richmond and Baltimore and a Pentagon-linked building in Arlington.

➡️Despite his 2008 sex offense conviction, these proposals—facilitated by businessman David Stern (an associate of Prince Andrew)—would have effectively made Epstein a landlord to federal agencies. While there is no evidence the deals were finalized, the documents highlight Epstein’s high-level connections and mention FBI informant claims alleging he had ties to Israeli intelligence (Mossad)
