Deep State getting to Trump ...

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday U.S. personnel were being moved out of the Middle East because "it could be a dangerous place," adding that the United States would not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon.

U.S. officials have been told Israel is fully ready to launch an operation into Iran, multiple sources told CBS News. 

The U.S. anticipates Iran could retaliate on certain American sites in neighboring Iraq. This is part of the reason the U.S. advised some Americans to leave the region earlier Wednesday.

The State Department ordered non-emergency government officials to exit Iraq due to "heightened regional tensions," and the Pentagon has authorized military family members to voluntarily leave the Middle East, a defense official told CBS News.

President Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff is still planning to meet with Iran for a sixth round of talks on the country's nuclear program in the coming days, two U.S. officials said. 

Mr. Trump spoke about Iran at an appearance at the Kennedy Center on Wednesday, telling reporters Americans were advised to leave the region "because it could be a dangerous place, and we'll see what happens." Mr. Trump also reiterated the U.S. did not want Iran to develop a nuclear weapon, saying: "We're not going to allow that."

When asked at the White House why dependents of military personnel were allowed to leave the region, Mr. Trump said, "You'll have to see."

Blogosphere has been on fire 🔥🔥🔥 the past hours ...

All posturing in Trump's White House ... back office still running the Deep State war machine ... the BIG, very BIG gamble to leave room for Bibi Netanyahu and GENOCIDE by the Jewish State of Israel as a few Western states push for a Palestinian State.

NO STATE OF PALESTINE IN OUR LIFETIME

US ambassador to Israel suggests America no longer supports two-state solution | JNS News |

Mike Huckabee also asked whether a future Palestinian state could be formed out of land from Muslim countries rather than the West Bank

The US ambassador to Israel has suggested America no longer supports the idea of a Palestinian state in land currently controlled by Israel, saying that "unless there are some significant things that happen that change the culture, there's no room for it", adding that any such cultural changes are unlikely to happen "in our lifetime."

Mike Huckabee, who was appointed to his position earlier this year, was speaking to Bloomberg in Jerusalem. When the news organisation asked him whether a Palestinian state remained a US foreign policy goal, the ambassador replied: "I don't think so."

He went on to question whether any such state had to be in areas currently controlled by Israel, asking whether Muslim states could instead set aside a part of their own territories to accommodate such a country. "Does it have to be in Judea and Samaria", he asked, using the Israeli term for the Biblical heartland region which is more widely known internationally as the West Bank.

As we have been witness to a “peace deal” between Ukraine and Russia, the president is vocal, but his limited effective power to make things happen.
