War Brewing?\u00a0US Prepares Departure Of All Nonessential Staff From Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain Embassies<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Is something brewing amid US-Iran tensions, given the stalled nuclear negotiations and ratcheting accusations, demands, and counter-demands?<\/p>\n

The State Department is preparing to order all nonessential personnel to leave the US Embassy in Baghdad due to potential regional unrest<\/strong>, according to two US officials cited in The Associated Press<\/em><\/a>. Additionally:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Again, the only ‘unrest’ and tension could be Iran-related<\/strong>, though the Baghdad embassy has at various times over several years come under Shia militia attacks, and even rioting outside its gates.<\/p>\n

The embassy is already operating with limited staff, so in reality the move affects a small number of people.<\/p>\n

As it stands, nonessential personnel and family members in Bahrain and Kuwait are being authorized to leave voluntarily<\/strong>, per the report. The Pentagon has further indicated it is ready to assist with a possible evacuation from the Baghdad embassy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But if the US and Iran proceed with the next round of talks, these immediate tensions are likely to be defused.<\/p>\n

According to more background from the report<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Board of Governors at the International Atomic Energy Agency was set to potentially vote on a measure to censure Iran<\/strong>. That could set in motion an effort to snap back United Nations sanctions on Iran via a measure in Tehran\u2019s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers that\u2019s still active until October.<\/em><\/p>\n

Amid the reports of preparations for embassy departures, Iran\u2019s mission to the U.N. posted on social media that \u201cthreats of overwhelming force won\u2019t change the facts.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIran is not seeking a nuclear weapon, and U.S. militarism only fuels instability,\u201d<\/strong> the Iranian mission has warned in a public written statement.<\/p>\n

All eyes on the Middle East as the U.S. embassy in Baghdad is on high alert preparing for an immediate evacuation.<\/p>\n

President Trump has definitely expressed his preference for negotiated solution, but Iran insists that it be able to keep enriching uranium, at least at low levels, as a matter of national sovereignty.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
