The State Department has urged non-essential personnel to leave the U.S. embassy in Israel amid rising tensions.
President Donald Trump, speaking before boarding Marine One, expressed frustration with Iran nuclear deal talks: “We’re not happy with the way they’re negotiating… We’ll see what happens.”
This comes after U.S. officials met Iranian representatives in Geneva, as Trump continues pressuring Tehran to halt its nuclear buildup.
Asked about risks of military action, Trump acknowledged the danger but cited past successes against Soleimani and al-Baghdadi.
The administration has deployed significant U.S. naval and air forces to the Middle East, keeping options open, including potential limited strikes against Iranian nuclear and strategic targets.
