China Advised Citizens To Leave Iran, U.S. Evacuated Relatives Of Diplomats From Israel

Is Washington preparing to strike Iran?

A day after Washington and Tehran held unresolved talks in Geneva over the nuclear deal, the situation around Iran began to escalate. On Feb. 27, China's Foreign Ministry issued an alert urging its citizens to leave the country, warning the Chinese of a "significant increase in external security threats" in the country, the South China Morning Post reported. The ministry also stressed: those already in the country should "strengthen security measures and evacuate as soon as possible."

"Chinese embassies and consulates in Iran and neighboring countries will provide necessary assistance to Chinese citizens to depart by commercial flights or land transport," the Foreign Ministry said. Authorities in Australia, India, Poland, Finland, Finland, Sweden, Singapore and South Korea have also issued similar calls to leave several parts of the Middle East. In addition, the US embassy in Jerusalem said Friday that non-essential staff of the diplomatic mission, along with their families, have been advised to leave Israel while commercial flights are available due to "heightened security risks."

The Chinese embassy in Israel also urged its citizens to closely follow security warnings sent out by the government of the country, which could be hit by Iran if a US military operation is launched. Earlier, the US announced the withdrawal of personnel from its embassy in Lebanon, Bloomberg wrote.

February 26, the third round of US-Iranian talks was held in Geneva. The Wall Street Journal, citing sources, reported that the meeting did not lead to a nuclear deal and Tehran actually rejected all of Washington's key demands. Among them is the clause on Iran's destruction of its three main nuclear facilities - in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, as well as the transfer of the entire stockpile of enriched uranium to the US. In addition, the U.S. insists that any agreement must be open-ended.

Since the beginning of this year, the U.S. has concentrated significant forces in the Middle East region and begun withdrawing its troops from military bases around Iran. President Donald Trump has said he is considering a limited strike on the Islamic republic to force Tehran to make a deal. Reuters sources, however, reported that the U.S. operation could become a full-scale invasion lasting several weeks and hitting the regime's centers of power.
