USA pulls out Iraq diplomats - danger from Iran is growing!

In a worrying step, the United States reduced its embassy staff in Iraq for security reasons. This decision based on "latest analyzes" seems to be related to a possible military escalation in the region. Details on the exact reasons have not yet been announced, but there is speculation about an upcoming Israeli attack on Iran, which could further destabilize the situation. In this context, Iran's possible retaliation measures are increasingly being commented against US goals, especially in view of the impending tensions that have increased significantly in recent weeks.

President Donald Trump confirmed the withdrawal of the staff and emphasized the danger of the region. In this tense situation, Iran has given threats to US bases. The deduction program affects not only employees with non-urgent functions, but also the family members of diplomats and US soldiers, which are deducted from military base in the region. These military bases that lie on the Persian Golf are easily accessible for Iran, which makes the situation even more explosive.

The geopolitical rivalries between Tehran and Washington also tighten with regard to the Iranian nuclear program. Trump threatened to stop with air strikes on Iran to stop his efforts to develop nuclear weapons. Despite the accusations that Iran strives for atomic weapons under the guise of a civilian nuclear program, Tehran denies this and insists that there are no military ambitions.

The difficult state of nuclear negotiations

The USA withdrew from the nuclear agreement in 2018 and introduced sanctions again, which brought Iran into a defensive position. This led to a rapid deterioration in the economic situation because the Rial loses value every week. Under the pressure of this development, it remains unclear to what extent Iran will be ready for concessions in the negotiations, while Trump continues to pursue the policy of "maximum pressure".
