US reduce embassy staff in Iraq - threats from Iran!

Irak - The current tensions in the Middle East have caused the United States to drastically reduce its embassy staff in Iraq. According to ZVW , due to security concerns and recent analyzes, the uncontrolled reports of Iran on US interests. The decision primarily affects personnel with non -urgent functions and relatives of diplomats.

In addition, reports on the withdrawal of family members of US soldiers from military bases in the region have fueled the alarm. These developments occur in the middle of threats of Iran against US military base, especially in countries such as Bahrain and Qatar, which are located near Iran. The US bases are considered possible goals for Iraqi militias that are supported by Iran and raise the question of how military activities in the region could develop.

growing military tensions

The situation is also complicated by an increase in attacks on US forces in Iraq and Syria. According to BPB , Iranian regional policy is determined by both pragmatic and nationalist approaches. Tehran supports militarily different groups in the region to expand its influence, especially in Syria, where Iran cooperates closely with the Assad regime.

The relationships between Iran and Iraq are complex because Iran is trying to prevent Iraq from attacking his territory. The bilateral relationships are friendly, but are more based on a ceasefire than on a real peace treaty. The Shiite majority in Iraq is associated with Iran, but the control is not absolutely. Iran has expanded his support for militant Iraqi groups, which leads to tensions with other political actors in Iraq.

In order to continue to destabilize the region, Iran's defense minister threatens the United States with consequences if a military escalation should take place. At the same time, US President Donald Trump relies on negotiations regarding the Iranian nuclear program, even if there is ambiguity about the progress of the talks. If there is a failed result of the negotiation, it will be considered again military options.

The tense situation between Iran and the USA, reinforced by military activities and political manipulation, remains a central topic of international security and diplomacy in the Middle East. The fate of the region could be strongly influenced by the ongoing negotiations and the reaction to military aggression.
