US-Iran Relations
Iranian state propaganda outlet PressTV quoted an unnamed regime official admitting Iran's threats prompted American moves to protect diplomats, leading to evacuations from Iraq, Kuwait, and Bahrain. President Trump confirmed the evacuations, stating Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Talks between American and Iranian negotiators aim to contain Iran's nuclear activities, but Iran seeks the lifting of sanctions. Iran is at its highest level of military readiness and threatens preemptive strikes. Despite the threats, negotiations are ongoing.
