The Middle East is entering one of its most dangerous phases in recent years. The United States has begun positioning major military assets around Iran, preparing strike options that could target key sites in Tehran if diplomacy fails. According to multiple reports, strike forces and carrier groups are already in place, signaling that Washington is ready for a sustained military operation if tensions escalate further. President Donald Trump has openly expressed frustration over stalled nuclear negotiations with Iran, warning that the US is prepared to resolve the situation decisively. His remarks come as Washington increases military presence across the region, combining strategic pressure with last-minute diplomatic efforts. The message is clear, diplomacy remains an option, but military action is no longer off the table. WATCH 

Kathy Ruemmler, the influential Chief Legal Officer of Goldman Sachs and former White House counsel under Barack Obama, has stepped down after newly disclosed Justice Department files revealed years of private email exchanges with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The documents show communication between 2014 and 2019, including messages in which Epstein was referred to in strikingly personal terms, “Uncle Jeffrey” and even an “older brother.” Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon accepted her resignation, praising her contributions but acknowledging the growing controversy. Ruemmler stated that the escalating media attention had become a distraction and that stepping aside was in the firm’s best interest. WATCH
