As Republican war “hawks” reportedly pressure President Donald Trump to allow an Israeli strike against Iranian weapons sites, the administration has ordered US personnel to move out of the Middle East amid rising tensions.
“Well they are being moved out because it could be a dangerous place and we’ll see what happens, but they are – we’ve given notice to move out,” Trump said Wednesday. Iran “cannot have a nuclear weapon. We are not going to allow that,” he added.
The remark came hours after Sen. Tom Cotton, R-AR, sounded the alarm that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had “confirmed that Iran’s terrorist regime is actively working towards a nuclear weapon.”
“For the sake of our national security, the security of our allies, and millions of civilians in the region this cannot be allowed to happen,” Cotton stated.
