On Wednesday, President Trump signaled that military action may be forthcoming to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear arsenal. He ordered the withdrawal of U.S. personnel from the Middle East.
Reports from various news sources indicated that there would be a partial withdrawal of embassy staff in Iraq, along with the withdrawal of military dependents throughout the Middle East.

At the time of the announcement of the withdrawal, President Trump declared that the Middle East could become “a dangerous place,” further adding that he would not let Iran obtain a nuclear weapon.
“They are being moved out because it could be a dangerous place, and we’ll see what happens,” Trump told reporters. “We’ve given notice to move out.”
The same day, the State Department issued an advisory ordering the departure of non-emergency U.S. government personnel due to “heightened regional tensions.”
Perhaps Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will finally get to unleash his Air Force to take out Iran’s nuclear facilities.
