Trump Puts Americans In Iran At Risk? Hundreds Flee As U.S. Mulls Attack On Tehran's Nuke Sites
Reuters reported that hundreds of Americans have fled Iran in the last week amid escalation in tensions with Israel. The news agency quoted an U.S. State Department cable on the crisis. It said that while many escaped without any issues, a few faced delays and harassment. Remember, Iran and the U.S. don't share diplomatic ties and hence, it is getting difficult for Donald Trump to pull out Americans from the conflict zone. The cable underscores that Americans in Iran are at a risk as the U.S. president mulls attack on Iran's underground nuclear facility. Watch.

Why US moved B-2 Spirit stealth bombers to Guam and how far is it from Iran?

What is Turkey planning to do with Iran? Invites air force of this country amid Israel Iran war, the country is...
New Delhi: Turkey seems to be ahead of Pakistan in duplicity. Just as on one hand Pakistan talks about standing with Iran and on the other hand Army Chief Asim Munir meets Trump, something similar is being seen on the issue of Turkey. Turkey is currently hosting the summit of the Organization of Muslim Countries (OIC), in which the biggest issue is going to be the Iran Israel war and Palestine. But Turkey is also going to conduct war exercises with Israel's closest friend and ally, the United States. Joint military exercise The US Defense Department's media service said that the US will join NATO allies in the multinational air force exercise organized by Turkey/Turkiye from June 23 to July 4. Fighter jets of the US 31st Fighter Wing stationed at Aviano Airbase in Italy will take part in the 'Anatolian Eagle 25' drill, which will be held at the third main jet base in the central Turkish city of Konya. The USA is already increasing its presence in the Middle East and is likely preparing to attack Iran if any situation arises. In such a situation, Turkey's invitation to the US army for war exercises on its land can become a cause of concern for Iran because America can take advantage of this to attack Iran. Advantage for America Not only America but the air forces of many countries are participating in this drill, the purpose of this drill is to improve operational coordination through joint combat training in realistic conditions. Brigadier General Tad D. Clark, commander of the 31st Fighter Wing, said that the exercises provide 'real high-level training and strengthen the ability of allied forces to work together.' This exercise is taking place at a time when instability remains in the Middle East, the Israel-Iran conflict is in its second week and there is a fear of it spreading to neighbouring areas. Turkey pushing Syria back At present, the Israeli Air Force is attacking Iran using Syria's airspace. Syria has a Turkish-backed Al Sharaa government. According to reports, Turkey has instructed Syria to stay away from the Israel-Iran war. In such a situation, questions are being raised on Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan whether he really wants to become the leader of Muslims or has some other agenda.
