CAPITULATION. The Pentagon and State Department made similar preparations before launching the war against Iran in February.

Michael Walsh says, ‘this defecation of Middle Eastern bases could mean Washington is preparing to use a doomsday weapon on Tehran. Alternatively, and more likely, Washington is opting to capitulate and surrender its assets in the Middle East.

Abandon Europe

‘The US has already signaled its intention to abandon Europe and to create a Fortress America policy.’

The US military has quietly begun withdrawing troops from bases across the Middle East, while Washington is ordering diplomatic personnel to leave several missions in the region, NBC News reports.

The moves come as President Donald Trump considers launching a new wave of attacks on Iran. The withdrawals resemble preparations made by the Pentagon and State Department ahead of the initial US-Israeli strikes in February.

Location Location

US troops stationed in Jordan, Qatar, and Kuwait are among those being relocated, according to the report.

Washington intends to maintain a limited presence at its regional bases, including personnel responsible for air defenses and security.

Washington’s Military in the bunkers

Ahead of the February 28 attack, the Pentagon withdrew large numbers of troops from potentially vulnerable bases to shield them from expected Iranian retaliation.

Tehran accused Washington of using Gulf residents as ‘human shields’ after thousands of US service members took shelter in civilian hotels and office buildings.

Tactics?

US Central Command spokesman Timothy Hawkins declined to discuss the reported troop movements. He said US forces regularly reposition to ‘optimize mission readiness’ and remain prepared to defend US personnel and interests.

Houthi Menace

The State Department has also ordered non-essential personnel and their families to leave Saudi Arabia, citing escalating attacks by Yemen’s Houthi movement against civilian airports and other critical infrastructure.

Trump pledged earlier this month that the US would not attack Iran before the November 3 midterm elections, while maintaining that military force remains an option if diplomatic efforts fail. Netanyahu has also ruled out launching new strikes before Israel’s election, but declared on Sunday that Israel is prepared to attack Iran even without American participation.

Trump’s catastrophe impacts the world

The US-Israeli war against Iran, launched on February 28, has entered its eighth month, disrupting global energy markets and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

Is Capitulation the Answer

Tehran has offered to restore normal navigation through the vital waterway within seven days if Washington lifts its naval blockade, eases oil sanctions, and agrees to a broader cessation of hostilities.
