The US is on high alert amid growing concerns that Israel may launch a strike on Iran's nuclear facilities without prior American consent, according to US intelligence officials cited by The Washington Post.

Amid these escalating concerns, US President Donald Trump stated on Wednesday that he will begin relocating American personnel from the Middle East, particularly Iran, because "it could be a dangerous place."

According to The Washington Post, the U.S. State Department has permitted certain staff members to leave Iraq, while the Pentagon is allowing military families to voluntarily depart from American bases throughout the region.

Additionally, the State Department has instructed all embassies located within potential range of Iranian assets including those in the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and Northern Africa to activate emergency action committees and report back to Washington with cables outlining risk mitigation strategies.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued an update to the worldwide travel advisory, reflecting the current U.S. posture. "On June 11, the Department of State ordered the departure of non-emergency U.S. government personnel due to heightened regional tensions," the advisory stated.

US Iran nuclear talks 

The increased security measures come amid President Trump faces dimming hopes of having deal with Tehran that would possibly restrict Iran's nuclear program an effort to avoid major military conflict amid the Israel Hamas war.

"They can't have a nuclear weapon. Very simple, they can't have a nuclear weapon," Trump said.

Despite rising tensions, diplomatic efforts continue. According to Reuters, U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff is expected to meet Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Oman this Sunday to discuss Tehran’s forthcoming response to a recent American nuclear proposal. Iran has already dismissed the current U.S. offer as “unacceptable” but plans to present a counter-proposal.

Israel's threat 

Israel is getting ready to strike Iran if ongoing talks between US and Iran breaks down, reports Axois.

"Bibi is waiting for the nuclear talks to collapse and for the moment Trump will be disappointed about the negotiations and open to giving him the go-ahead," the publication reported, quoting sources who used Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's nickname.

Trump has repeatedly warned of possible military action against Iran if nuclear negotiations fail. In an interview with the New York Post on Wednesday, he expressed doubts about Tehran’s willingness to curb its uranium enrichment a central U.S. demand.

“I’m less confident now than I would have been a couple of months ago. Something happened to them, but I am much less confident of a deal being made,” Trump told the New York Post.
