Israel Seeks U.S. Support as Tensions with Iran Escalate

Israel’s prime minister has been urging the United States to join the conflict against Iran, as regional tensions continue to mount.
On Sunday, President Donald Trump warned that any attack by Iran on the United States would be met with military force “at levels never seen before.”
Amid rising diplomatic strain, the U.S. has already ordered the evacuation of non-essential diplomatic staff and their families from embassies across the Middle East. On Wednesday, the State Department announced the withdrawal of all non-essential personnel from the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, citing its commitment to “keeping Americans safe, both at home and abroad.”
These moves underscore Washington’s growing concern over the deteriorating security situation and its potential to draw the United States deeper into the conflict.
