According to a report by The Washington Post, U.S. officials have raised alarms about an increasingly volatile situation in the Middle East, citing the potential for an imminent Israeli strike on Iran. The sources revealed that American embassies and military bases across the region have been placed on high alert in anticipation of possible retaliatory scenarios.

“We are monitoring the situation closely, and we believe it is more dangerous than ever,” the sources stated.
In parallel, Politico reported that U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth authorized the voluntary departure of military families across the Middle East, a precautionary move in light of rising tensions.
Earlier, The Associated Press cited U.S. officials confirming that the State Department is preparing to evacuate non-essential personnel and diplomats’ families from embassies in Baghdad, Bahrain, and Kuwait.
These developments come amid the collapse of nuclear negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, with both sides exchanging increasingly hostile rhetoric.
Iranian Defense Minister Aziz Nasser Zadeh, responding to threats of military action, declared:
“We hope the negotiations succeed. But if conflict is forced upon us, the other side’s losses will be far greater than ours. We have the capability to strike every U.S. base in the region — we will not hesitate.”
Meanwhile, in an interview with the New York Post published Wednesday, President Donald Trump admitted:
“I’m becoming less confident about reaching a deal” with Iran on its nuclear program.
The statements underscore a deteriorating diplomatic landscape, with military posturing on both sides suggesting that regional conflict may be closer than at any point in recent years.
