In a move that has intensified fears of a regional war, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk issued a grave warning this morning to all Polish nationals currently in Iran.

Speaking at a press conference in Zielonka, Tusk urged citizens to "leave Iran immediately," warning that the window for safe departure is closing rapidly.

The Prime Minister’s language was uncharacteristically stark, reflecting high-level intelligence regarding an imminent kinetic event. He said, "I do not want to alarm anyone, but the possibility of a conflict is very real. In a few, a dozen, or several dozen hours, evacuation may no longer be an option."

Tusk emphasized that Polish citizens must find a way to "safer areas" or exit the country entirely while commercial flights or land borders remain accessible.

The warning from Warsaw aligns with reports from Jerusalem and Washington, where military officials describe the current status as *"executable readiness."

The IDF Home Front Command and emergency services have been ordered to maximum alert. High-ranking Israeli officials believe a U.S. strike, potentially with Israeli participation, is "very close" following the stagnation of nuclear talks in Geneva.

Sources in Israel indicate that President Trump is nearing a final decision. While diplomatic channels remain technically open, the massive concentration of U.S. airpower in the region, the largest since the 2003 Iraq invasion, suggests a military resolution is the primary contingency.

U.S. officials speaking to Reuter indicated that the Pentagon is not just preparing for a "one-off" surgical strike, but for sustained operations that could last several weeks. This assessment has triggered a ripple effect across European capitals, with Poland being the first to explicitly warn that the window for civilian safety is measured in hours, not days.
