This evacuation order, which is first outside of Tehran, is for the Arak Nuclear Complex, which contains a 40MW heavy water nuclear reactor believed to be non-operational.

According to Bloomberg, U.S. President Trump’s rhetoric against Iran has shifted significantly in recent days, as political allies have convinced him that Tehran is close to obtaining a nuclear weapon, as suggested for months by Israel. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina has been a primary voice urging the President to consider military action against nuclear facilities in Iran, according to people familiar with the discussions, as President Trump is said to have held multiple calls recently with Graham.

As U.S. President Trump considers joining Israel’s strike campaign against nuclear sites in Iran, his Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff is reported to have been in direct contact with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi throughout the week, attempting to organize further negotiations between the United States and Iran.

In a post earlier on X, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham praised President Trump’s handling so far of the war between Israel and Iran, adding that Israel has destroyed Iran’s military and scientific leadership while doing great damage to Iran’s nuclear facilities. But the last nuclear site, the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant, must be dealt with, which requires capabilities for a deep underground attack only possessed by the United States. Ending with, “Go all in. Finish the job.”
