Newsweek · Czech Intelligence Reveals China Plan to Crash Into Taiwan Vice President-ElectBy Micah McCartney

Explosions were reported near a #US #military #base in #Qatar Monday after #Iran vows to retaliate for #Trump’s assault on #nuclear sites. The development coincided with a warning from the US #Embassy in Qatar’s capital, #Doha, urging American citizens there to shelter in place. Qatar’s govt on Monday also closed its airspace & suspended flights as a “precautionary measure” while the #MiddleEast braces for a potential expansion of the fighting between #Israel & Iran.

Cool cool. Not weird at all. 👀

"The #FBI and US Department of #HomelandSecurity warn of an elevated threat level to #Jewish and #Israeli targets, following a string of attacks.

The announcement says it comes in response to the #firebombing of a #hostages rally in Colorado this week, and the #killing of two Israeli #embassy staffers in Washington last month. Both attackers cited the #Gaza #war as their motivation, according to investigators.

An #arsonist also targeted the home of Jewish Pennsylvania Governor #JoshShapiro in April due to the war."
