US Builds Up Forces in Mideast With Trump ‘Not Happy’ On Iran

Описание: Richard Haass, president emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations, said Iran would likely reject US demands that it give up every aspect of its nuclear program, but the two sides are still at a preliminary stage of negotiations. Haass said that the president could order a strike regardless of scheduled talks, but that he thinks the Trump is 'still improvising' in his plan.

 Countries including the US, UK and China evacuated embassy staff in the Middle East and issued travel advisories amid concerns about a regional conflict, as President Donald Trump on Friday sounded downbeat about diplomatic talks meant to avert airstrikes on Iran.
“We’re not happy with what’s going on. They should make a deal, they’d be smart if they made a deal,” Trump told reporters at the White House. The president added that there will be “additional talks today,” without providing details. 
“We want no nuclear weapons by Iran, and they’re not saying those golden words,” Trump said.
The US on Friday told non-emergency staff at its embassy in Jerusalem that they’re allowed to leave Israel — with the country being vulnerable to Iranian retaliation if it participates in a US attack.
Washington issued a similar evacuation order for its diplomatic mission in Beirut on Monday. Other countries including the UK, China and India have also advised citizens or diplomats to leave some parts of the Middle East. 
Australia, Poland, Finland, Sweden and Singapore are among other countries advising citizens to leave the region. The UK also said it’s temporarily withdrawing diplomatic staff from Iran. 
The flurry of evacuations and warnings comes as the US continues to assemble a vast array of military forces in the region following Trump’s repeated threats to attack Iran and as diplomatic talks continue over Tehran’s nuclear program.
