On February 19, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk urged Polish citizens in Iran to leave the country as soon as possible. His statement came against the backdrop of a potential escalation of conflict in the region, as reported by the Polish television company Polsat.
Tusk emphasized that if the situation worsens, the possibility for evacuation may become limited. “I do not intend to scare people, but we all understand what is at stake. A conflict could indeed arise, and within a few dozen hours, there may be no talk of evacuation,” he noted.
Meanwhile, American sources reported a significant increase in the U.S. military presence in the Middle East. According to The Wall Street Journal, Washington is sending additional F-22 and F-35 fighter jets, as well as coordination and management aircraft, and is deploying a second aircraft carrier to the region. These measures, according to estimates, will allow the U.S. to conduct military operations against Iran for several weeks.
At the same time, U.S. President Donald Trump has not yet made a final decision regarding further steps concerning Iran, leaving the scenario of events uncertain.
