Washington The State Department ordered Wednesday the departure of non-emergency US government employees from Iraq amid increasing tensions with Iran and warned US citizens not to travel to the country, citing a"high risk for violence and kidnapping."
The department said in a statement that employees working in the US embassy in Baghdad and the US consulate in Erbil were instructed to leave Iraq, and that"normal visa services will be temporarily suspended at both posts." It added that American Citizens Services employees who were working in the embassy in Baghdad"will continue to provide consular services to U.S. citizens in Basrah.
I would not be surprised if the rocket in Baghdad and the attacks on tankers in the Persian Gulf were made by CIA. So far the US has very often justified their wars with lies. In Vietnam as well as in Iraq. The US war consequences are always Europe falling on their feet.
A JOKE !! IF MR. JIMMY CARTER HAD NOT PUT THE MULLAHS IN IRAN 40 YEARS AGO, THEN TODAY 10 MILLION PEOPLE - killed by this corrupt regime- WOULD STILL BE ALIVE . NO FIGHTING IN THIS REGION ANDPARADISE WHAT IS CALLED IRAN. GREEDY AMERICANS DID NOT WANT TO PAY FOR OIL. DISGRACEFUL
The current Trump admin should not be supported by its allies for all the disrespectful reasons Trump has shown them. If you start this war, hope Russia or Hungary back you up cause the rest of us will not under your horrible republican president who we do not trust or support.😥
That trump administration created wht a bunch of losers they know nothing about foreign policy especially donald he know nothing but how to destroy our democracy
That's because the wrath of God is about to carpet bomb Iran! LET FREEDOM RING!
I wonder who caused it? Oh Trump. They don’t even trust him. Too funny. They have more in common with the Americans than they thought
Trump just wants a war, he is so unstable.
Another CNN supported war based on a lie.
Well,looks like its donnies turn.
Look, I googled this for you.
And So It Begins!!!...
Did the British or other countries call to evacuate their citizens
Worries me.
Well there goes my family vacation to Baghdad
What will the American people do if he goes full on with this stupid posturing & it turns deadly? Will you THEN rise up & challenge the idiot & his administration?
We need to kick Iran's ars once and for all!
Did they also warn against travel to Holland and miniature golf courses to avoid risk of wind cancer?
Mmmmm!!!!!!!! Wel welllllll.....
Man how can you believe anything Trump staffers say.? Starts at the top, what happened to not agreeing with each other and expressing your views why not.He has his party lie to us each and every day, what a disgrace to our way of life.
Cnn the place to go for news. NOT!!
The idiot in chief is going to bankrupt the country, take us back 50 years in human rights and get us in more wars. Vote him out!
US citizens should be warned against voting for neocons who keep constantly bring the country to the brink of war
The second in command said there was no threat.
Now thats Fake News!
Since the “crisis at our southern border” isn’t getting trump the attention he craves he is now trying to use Iran as his next “crisis” attention getter 😡😡
Canada stood with the USA in Afghanistan , post 9-11. But if you attack Iran, you’re on your own.
cmmcd Didn't really need anybody to tell me not to go to Iraq. I don't have any statistics telling me this but as an American I'm sure there are many places that are not safe for us to go now. Donald Trump has not made a safer world , far from it.
This is our way of creating plausible deniability before we get ready to fuck another country without buying her dinner first.
Spreading democracy and freedom and all kinds of good shit.
Please keep them safe, Father
Congress needs to reclaim its power, especially from the hands of these madmen. Congress - not the president - is supposed to make declarations of war. It hasn't done so since WWII, yet how many presidents have led us to war? They do it for political reasons. ENOUGH!
These assholes want to start a war. To save the criminal president in the White House.
Why?
Trump needs this war with Iran to cement his chances of being re-elected. But he is forgetting one vital point no one in America wants another war where US soldiers are made scapegoats.
In the year of 2000 there were seven countries without a Rothschild owned or controlled Central Bank: Afghanistan. Iraq. Sudan. Libya. Cuba. North Korea. Iran. 2019: Cuba. North Korea. Iran.
What tensions We don’t know what is happening - total news blackout
And
Let the games begin
Looks like Trump and Bolton are gonna get their war... disgusting
What's that realDonaldTrump
Nothing like an all-out war to deflect from investigations. Are any of the trump kids volunteering to fight for the US? I doubt it. Only the rest of our kids & grandkids will fight & die for trump’s war
Lets be clear, the U.S. government is currently the the greatest threat to the people of this planet. Millions of civilians and military personnel will die for big oil and to distract from the christian fascist takeover of America.
One thing you can always count on Republicans for, starting wars that don't need to be started.
Trump trying to look big. Clown. People when you going to take over and make a country again? You don't have one till you kick all those old useless people out.
“Tensions flaring” is GOP speak for let’s bomb the Middle East
Only officials with children in uniform should be allowed to make decisions regarding war and peace.
They have 16 min til this story breaks. Crazy
Well at least “Iran” rhymes with “Vietnam” in the protest folk song sense...won’t have to write anything new...
Trump is trying to start a war for distraction purposes.
Trump's collection of pet hawks are just itching to start something with Iran.
There is no war in Iraq. I am sure that this escalation is for the sake of the deal of the century Israel
So the Trump-Bolton strategy is to forfeit an aircraft carrier and 5000 sailors to justify a war with Iran. Iran has more than enough advanced weaponry to do it. Unless of course our Supreme Leader Putin puts an end to Trump’s plan.
What is the definition of 'non-emergency US government employees?' Is it anyone not carrying a weapon?
Call up the National Guard too and let them know to be on standby and that they could be sent to the region at any moment to pick a fight.
Our coward president has been wanting war with Iran for such a long time and now he’ll probably get his chance. I saw a documentary on evangelicals and they actually want a Middle East war (for jesus return) so trump is pandering to his base.
realDonaldTrump and AmbJohnBolton are bullies and that is what American is today:A bully.
They've made up their mind, no need to get the public behind it, what can we do anyways, I'll say this though, not a lot of talk about the report these days, looks like it can be stalled and forgotten.
Why are we here
All the MORON wants is playing with the lives of the Americans soldiers
Hmm wonder why
who in the right mind would travel there anyways
'And it's one, two, three, What are we fightin' for?'
Always due a partial job job never complete it
Tensions aren’t “flaring with Iran” we’re trying to incite a war.
The only time USA will learn to respect smaller countries is when they will find march to engage them in real war not when they attack defenseless nations like iran if you want just attack Russia a nation which can reply back
'Tough guy'
The best thing for US to do is to pull all its forces out of Iraq.
Can’t have my taxes now to busy sorry you know I want to but the war takes up all my time
We still have a State Department? I wasn't aware. Who's running it? Putin? Erdogan? MbS?
President George Bush began the war President Barack Obama de-escalated the tension President Donald Trump is GEARING UP for WAR MiddleEast MiddleEastCrisis
Lets all hope there is no war, but if he insists let him be the first president to be voted out during wartime.
Sounds like they are planning a rumble.

Three asshoes
'I WANT A WAR.........MY IDIOT BASE WANTS A WAR.................GIVE ME A WAR!!!!'
Are there many citizens heading to Iraq
Iran = Demon
It's obvious that Trump & his cronies are cultivating a pretext for unnecessary military action against Iran. For what? Because they can! That's the only reason. Iran has been compliant with the terms of the 2015 multi-national nuclear agreement according to oversight agencies.
And so it begins
How does a weak president stay in power?....start a war.
Damn. It was number 1 on my list too!!!
Wag The Dog.
