Military expert Major General Fayez Al -Duwairi said that question marks raised doubts about Washington’s decision to withdraw its employees and their families voluntarily from countries in the Middle East, and the significance of the move in light of fears of a blow to Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Al -Duwairi, in his talk to the island, asked why the American decision did not include major military bases for the United States in Gulf countries such as Al -Dhafra and many in the Emirates and Qatar and restricted it to 3 countries in the region only.
The Associated Press quoted US officials as saying that the US State Department is preparing to issue an order to leave all non -basic workers from the American embassy and members of their families in Iraq, Bahrain and Kuwait.
In turn, a US defensive official told the island that the middle leadership is following tension in the Middle East, and confirmed that Defense Minister Beit Higseth stated an voluntary departure from the families of the military from places in the central command area.
But Fox News quoted defense officials as saying that “no American soldier from the Middle East will be evacuated.”
According to the military expert, Washington “may implement a maneuver to pressure Iran in nuclear negotiations” or “Israel may launch a military strike in which the US bases in the Gulf will not be used.”
He expressed his conviction that “Israel is not able to launch a military campaign against Iran for a week in light of the divergence of its nuclear reactors, without – at least – American support that supplies the aircraft with air.”
But Al -Duwairi said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu -wanted by the International Criminal Court -is waiting for an opportunity to carry out a military strike against Iranian nuclear facilities, expressing his conviction that “Iran’s arms in the region will not provide them with a major effort.”
Netanyahu believes – according to Al -Duwairi – that the time has become appropriate, especially in light of the Israeli internal situation and the possibility of dissolving the Knesset, which means dismantling his ruling right coalition and going to a trial that may end in prison.
The military expert asked about “the seriousness of the American administration in entering the war of its results is not guaranteed, as it may lead to more negative repercussions than the same military strike.”
Among these repercussions is that Iran’s withdrawal from the Nuclear Proliferation Convention or the acceleration of uranium enrichment, according to Al -Duwairi.
Al -Duwairi concluded that “the military strike will not be effective if it is not carried out by a double Israeli effort to destroy the entire nuclear reactors’ structure, “noting that any blow otherwise” may delay the Iranian nuclear program. “
These developments emerged with the increasing tension in the region in conjunction with the failure of talks between the United States and Iran on the latter’s nuclear program.
The Iranian Defense Minister, Brigadier Aziz Naseer Zadeh had threatened – yesterday, Wednesday, that his country target American bases in the region if nuclear talks fail or a conflict broke out with Washington.
For his part, Axios quoted an Israeli official and another American that US President Donald Trump informed Netanyahu that he is opposing military action against Iran at the present time because he believes that there is an opportunity to reach a nuclear agreement with it.
