The US embassy in Baghdad is preparing for an ordered evacuation due to increased security threats in the region, Reuters reported Wednesday citing an Iraqi security source and a US official.
“The State Department is set to have an ordered departure for (the) US embassy in Baghdad. The intent is to do it through commercial means, but the US military is standing by if help is requested,” one American official was quoted as saying.
The development comes after Iran’s Defense Minister warned earlier in the day that Tehran would target US military bases in the region if tensions with Washington escalate or nuclear talks collapse.
 
🚨Now there are reports of American airbases in Qatar evacuating all non essential personnel as well as Al Dhafra airbase in the UAE. There are reports of Internet outages in some parts of Iran and Iranian air defenses is on high alert.

All US bases in the Middle East have been placed on a full state of alert.

 
🔊 A senior US official said the chances of the sixth round of nuclear talks between the US and Iran taking place as scheduled on Sunday in Oman are diminishing. The US official noted that Iran has not yet sent the US its response to the US proposal for the nuclear deal. On Thursday, the IAEA Board of Governors is expected to vote on a resolution condemning Iran for failing to meet its nuclear commitments. Iran has threatened to take retaliatory measures that would end its nuclear program.

 
If I remember correctly, Iran said it could attack US forces if it was attacked (rather than pre-emptively). If true, then you have to wonder why the US is evacuating personnel unless it knows the US (or Israel) is about to attack.
