Israel is fully prepared to attack Iran. It has informed the US about this. CBS News has given this information, citing American officials.
The US fears that if Israel attacks, Iran may target American targets in Iraq in return.
This is the reason why the US decided to evacuate some American citizens and officials from the Middle East on Wednesday. The State Department has ordered the return of government officials who are not necessarily stationed in Iraq, as tensions have increased there.
Meanwhile, Trump’s Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff is still preparing for the sixth round of talks with Iran on its nuclear program. These talks are to take place in a few days. Trump said- The situation could get worse, so we are withdrawing troops. President Donald Trump said during an event on Wednesday that the US is withdrawing its troops from some countries in the Middle East because the situation there can become dangerous.
Trump said, “We have instructed the troops to be withdrawn. These areas can become dangerous, let’s see what happens next.”
On the other hand, Trump also made a statement regarding Iran’s nuclear weapons program. He said, “Iran cannot get a nuclear weapon. It’s a simple matter. We will not let it happen.”
Earlier, the US State Department and the military had made it clear that non-essential personnel and their families would be removed from the area, so as to avoid losses in the event of a major crisis.
