Former U.S. President Donald Trump commented on the recent American withdrawal of personnel from multiple diplomatic missions across the Middle East, stating that the region may become “dangerous” amid growing tensions with Iran. Trump reaffirmed his administration’s stance, declaring that “Iran will never be allowed to possess a nuclear weapon.”
Speaking to reporters at the Kennedy Center in Washington, during a screening of Les Misérables, Trump said:
“They’re being relocated because it could be a dangerous place.”
When asked by CBS News about the evacuation of U.S. military families from the region, Trump replied cryptically:
“You’ll see.”
He then added:
“I’m more confident now than ever that the U.S. military will achieve more victories in the coming days.”
Meanwhile, CNN reported that both the State Department and the Department of Defense have actively coordinated the departure of non-essential personnel from American embassies in the region.
As previously revealed by the Associated Press, the U.S. State Department ordered the evacuation of non-essential staff and their families from Baghdad, Bahrain, and Kuwait, citing regional instability.
Additional reports from Pentagon officials confirmed that CENTCOM (U.S. Central Command) is monitoring the rising tensions closely. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth authorised the voluntary departure of military families from bases across the CENTCOM area of responsibility.
Officials insisted that:
“The safety of CENTCOM personnel and their families is a top priority,”adding that coordination with the State Department and regional allies is ongoing to ensure readiness.
These developments coincide with mounting friction between Washington and Tehran, as nuclear negotiations remain stalled, and military posturing intensifies.
In parallel, the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) issued a warning to commercial vessels in the region, acknowledging:
“Increased tensions that may lead to military escalation directly impacting maritime personnel.”
The advisory urged extreme caution in the Arabian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, and the Strait of Hormuz — without explicitly naming Iran. However, these waterways have previously seen Iranian vessel seizures and maritime incidents.
In response, Iran’s mission to the United Nations issued a strong statement condemning U.S. actions in the region, saying:
“The legacy of U.S. Central Command lies in fueling instability through arming aggressors and enabling Israeli war crimes — stripping it of any credibility to speak of peace or non-proliferation.”
Iran reiterated that:
“We are not pursuing nuclear weapons. It is American militarisation that deepens instability.”
Echoing this sentiment, Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh warned that Iran would target American military bases across the region if nuclear talks collapse or war erupts.
Speaking to reporters, he stated:
“We hope talks with the U.S. will yield results. But Iran is ready to respond.”
He added:
“If a conflict is imposed on us, the enemy’s losses will certainly exceed ours. In that case, America must leave the region. All its bases fall within our reach — we can strike them all, without hesitation, in every host country.”
This evolving confrontation exposes the deepening crisis between Iran and the United States, where regional sovereignty, Islamic resistance, and the pursuit of justice continue to collide with Western militarism and Zionist agendas.
