There was no attack on US bases proclaimed by pro-Iran militias in Iraq last night, but it is expected that Iran will soon face so-called blood retaliation. In the evening, Iran also pulled out a de facto nuclear withdrawal card that led the war to the nuclear crisis. We will not put any restrictions on the production of highly enriched uranium for the manufacture of nuclear weapons.

Iran has virtually declared its withdrawal, saying it will not abide by its freeze and restrictions on nuclear programs.

It says that it will not limit the uranium enrichment capacity and concentration, which is the core content of the nuclear coalition.

President Trump has unilaterally destroyed the 2018 nuclear agreement and imposed strong sanctions on Iran.

Iran, responding with a reduction in the implementation of the nuclear union, pulled out a card called the withdrawal of the coalition following the death of Commander Soleimani.

Iraq is also keeping pace with anti-US responses.

Iraq's parliament held an emergency meeting and passed a resolution to withdraw its troops.

The United States is unlikely to accept the Iraqi parliament's resolution, but its strategy for the Middle East is likely to shrink.

More than 5,000 US troops are currently stationed in 12 bases in Iraq.

Pro-Iran Iranian Hezbollah vowed to retaliate against US troops in the Middle East.

Pro-Iran militias in Iraq declared an attack on US military bases in Iraq last night, but news of the attacked US bases has not been reported.
