UK warns of rising military threats in Gulf waters as US authorizes evacuation of embassy staff in Iraq, Bahrain and Kuwait amid fears of imminent escalation with Iran.
Tensions are mounting across the Middle East amid the reported nearing conclusion of nuclear negotiations, prompting a wave of security alerts and diplomatic movements.
The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), a British maritime security agency, issued an unusual warning Wednesday, citing “increasing regional tension” that could escalate military activity and pose direct threats to seafarers in the Persian Gulf and surrounding waters.
Shortly after the UKMTO alert, Reuters reported that the United States was preparing to evacuate embassy staff in Iraq due to what officials described as rising security threats. The report added that U.S. military personnel stationed in Bahrain may also be temporarily withdrawn. Later, the Associated Press confirmed that the U.S. State Department had authorized the departure of non-essential staff from its embassies in Bahrain and Kuwait.
The alerts come amid growing fears of a potential Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. In a statement earlier Wednesday, Iranian Defense Minister Gen. Aziz Nasirzadeh warned that if conflict breaks out, U.S. forces in the region would be targeted. “If conflict is imposed on us, enemy casualties will exceed ours. In such a scenario, America must leave the region,” he said. “All U.S. bases in host countries are within our reach—we will not hesitate to target them.”

The poor thing
Zelenskyy said the U.S. would divert “20,000 missiles” earmarked for Ukraine in an agreement with the Biden administration to the Middle East, where it appears the U.S. would use them for its own force protection,
“Without the help of the United States, we will have more losses,” Zelenskyy told Raddatz in Kyiv last week.

Ballistic missile resources for sure
That was about the bodies of two hostages being recovered. At least one has now been identified.
Biden’s handlers didn’t allow Israel to hit the Russo-Iranian drone factories.
