Trump warned: There is a risk of large-scale conflict in the Middle East
When answering reporters’ questions at the White House on the 12th, US President Trump said that Israel might attack Iran and there is a risk of large-scale conflict in the Middle East.
Trump said that he “didn’t want to say (the attack) was imminent, but “it looks like it is likely to happen.” He also said: “Iran cannot have nuclear weapons. ”
Trump also said that he did not want Israel to take military action during the US-Iran negotiations on the Iranian nuclear issue, which would “ruin” the negotiations.
The US State Department said on the 11th that it had asked non-essential personnel and family members of the US Embassy in Iraq to evacuate Iraq. The Pentagon said on the same day that families of US troops stationed in the Middle East would be allowed to evacuate voluntarily. Trump said on the 11th that he was “less and less confident” that the US and Iran would reach an agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue, and the reason for evacuating non-essential personnel was “because this could be a dangerous place.”
Since April, the US and Iran have held multiple rounds of negotiations on the Iranian nuclear issue, and the sixth round of talks is tentatively scheduled to be held in Oman on the 15th.
