I know, I know it's baroque for feed.
I know, I know."
As Donald Trump sharpens his rhetoric on the Iran War, and Houthi attacks continue to
pose a security challenge in the Arabian Peninsula, the United States is once again scaling
back its diplomatic presence across the region.
Washington has ordered non-emergency personnel and all family members of U.S. government employees
to leave Saudi Arabia.
At the same time, staffing adjustments are reportedly underway at American diplomatic
missions in six other countries.
For U.S. diplomats and their families, this means another round of uncertainty.
Another abrupt departure, just months after returning to their overseas postings.
The immediate trigger is a rise in Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia.
The U.S. State Department has warned that the hostilities could escalate rapidly, raising
concerns about the wider regional fallout.
Beyond Saudi Arabia, staffing changes are reportedly taking place at U.S. embassies in Jordan,
Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE, and Lebanon.
The first baroque repeat now, we're on an international, now I'm just posting coal.
Sorry about that, but look, I have to, okay?
There isn't a report on the distinction.
Washington has not publicly announced formal departure orders for these six countries.
The State Department says the missions retain their existing operational designations and
continue to operate under restricted operations, a status that allows staffing adjustments without
a formal change in an embassies designation.
The moves also come amid renewed tensions between Washington and Tehran.
President Donald Trump has suggested that the United States could resume military strikes
against Iran after the November midterm elections.
Israel has reportedly urged Washington to act sooner, but those efforts have so far been
unsuccessful, according to sources familiar with the discussions.
For diplomatic families, however, the geopolitical calculations are translating into a deeply
personal upheaval.
Some had returned to their overseas assignments after being evacuated earlier this year during
the Iran War.
They had begun rebuilding their lives, arranging accommodation, and in some cases, re-enrolling
their children in school.
Now they're being told to prepare to leave again.
For Washington, the priority is managing the risks to American personnel as regional tensions
intensify.
But on the ground, the consequences are being felt by diplomatic families, caught between security
decisions, uncertain funding, and repeated displacement.
We obliterated Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity with Operation Midnight Hammy.
We remember that late at night, one of them all.
And then did the rest with Operation Epic Hero.
During the Persian Gulf
But on the contrary, Iran's army chief Major General Abdol Ali has dared U.S. military
to approach the Strait of Hormuz and try their luck entering the Persian Gulf.
But on the contrary, Iran has delivered a blunt message to Washington.
American military vessels are not allowed to enter the Persian Gulf.
In a series of sharply-worded remarks, Iran's army chief said their forces have rendered
the U.S. Navy ineffective in the region.
Abdol Ali also questioned U.S. President Donald Trump's repeated claims about the destruction
of Iran's nuclear facilities, accusing Washington of sending contradictory messages to the
international community.
In his strongest warning yet, Abdol Ali said the U.S. President could only dream of seeing
American military forces return to the Persian Gulf, adding that the wish to enter the Persian
Gulf will land American forces in their graves.
He asked Washington why the issue of preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons continues
to be raised if its nuclear facilities had already been completely destroyed.
Abdol Ali claimed America is no longer the powerful country it once claimed to be.
America has grown old.
The Iranian military chief accused the U.S. administration of trying to mislead international
public opinion, particularly the American people, through what he described as inconsistent
statements.
Hormuz blockade has sent shockwaves through global oil markets.
Trump's diesel deal with Russia, Venezuela oil gambit and other efforts to ease crude oil
prices have failed so far.
Abdol Ali's warning comes a day after Donald Trump claimed traffic in the state of Hormuz
has surpassed the pre-war levels.
We can end it very quickly, but Iran is a failing nation.
We're taking all the oil out that we want.
You see that with the hormones strait, our naving.
We haven't blocked up with them, but nobody else that everybody is taking oil out.
In fact, last week we took the borough out that we have ever taken it out even before
the war.
This makes Hormuz critical for global energy security, but its things stand.
The standoff continues, and the possibility of renewed war is becoming more realistic.
I'm not going to watch you.
We've got a lot to discuss on this Saturday.
For some it is morning and evening for others.
Glad everyone is here.
Thank you for waiting for me in my bubble tea.
A brother stopped up.
I can't do this on an empty stomach.
Yes, thanks for being here.
As you've heard, apparently Iran is isolated at all sides.
Pakistan and Iraq have bent the knee.
Yes, they have been forced to close their borders to the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Scott Besson.
Oh my God, I got a hide from Scott Besson.
Maybe Scott Besson was right after all.
Maybe he does have this economic isolate, whatever that was called under under control.
Maybe he does have.
Maybe they do have the ability to freeze Iran out.
My God, what plot twist?
A tuber's hey.
Yes, the brotherly bond of Iraq and Iran have been severed by the impure...
