The US is evacuating non-essential embassy staff in Baghdad, amidst rising tensions with Iran as President Trump issues a 60-day ultimatum over Iran's nuclear ambitions. Trump insists that Iran "cannot have a nuclear weapon" and threatens a strike if negotiations fail. In response, Iran warns that any attack will target US bases throughout the region. Additional warnings have been issued for maritime operations in critical Gulf areas. The dynamics are shifting away from diplomacy, raising fears of imminent conflict involving US and Israeli actions against Iran's nuclear facilities.
The tone seems to be moving away from diplomacy and the US President said, "It could be a dangerous place. We'll see what happens."
Iran's Defence Minister, Aziz Nasirzadeh warned on Wednesday when the 60-day deadline lapsed, "If a conflict is imposed on us... all US bases are within our reach, and we will boldly target them in host countries."
