The United States is currently on high alert because of rising fears that Israel may attack Iran’s nuclear sites if the talks between the U.S. and Iran fail. This concern was highlighted in a report by The Washington Post.

Former President Donald Trump has announced that the U.S. will begin moving some of its staff out of the Middle East, especially from Iran. He said the region could become dangerous.

The U.S. State Department has allowed some government workers in Iraq to leave, and military families at American bases in the area can also choose to leave.

These actions come as nuclear negotiations have come to a stop. Trump stressed that the U.S. will never allow Iran to get a nuclear weapon. He said clearly, “They can’t have a nuclear weapon.

Very simple.” Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly getting ready for a quick military strike if the talks fail. According to Axios, Netanyahu is waiting for the moment the negotiations collapse and Trump becomes frustrated enough to allow military action.

Trump has already warned Iran that the U.S. might respond with force if Iran continues enriching uranium. In an interview with the New York Post, he said he is starting to lose confidence that Iran will agree to the U.S. demands.

American intelligence agencies are concerned that Israel may act without informing the U.S. first. This could lead to Iran attacking American targets in the region, which would hurt the ongoing diplomatic efforts.

Iran has responded strongly. Iranian Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh warned that any Israeli attack would lead to Iranian strikes against U.S. bases because of America’s support for Israel. As tensions grow, U.S. embassies across the Middle East, North Africa, and Eastern Europe have been told to prepare emergency action plans and explain how they are reducing risks.

The State Department has also allowed U.S. staff in Bahrain and Kuwait to leave if they choose. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has updated the global travel warning because of these rising threats.

On June 11, the U.S. ordered non-essential government personnel to leave certain areas. The U.S. still has a strong military presence across the region, with bases in Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates.
