Kushner has been outed by Dutch Intel as a Mossad agent (which comes as no surprise).
The US military is preparing “doomsday scenarios” for a 90-day interval with the power grid down. And the Gulf States are being told to brace themselves for a “brief but intense” resumption of the war, which will (no doubt) be “intense” but most unlikely to be brief (where he appears to be hiring that the US and Israel may use tactical nukes, where the Iranians already have powerful non-nuclear weapons they have yet to deploy).
