US and UK Urge Diplomatic Staff to Evacuate Amid Rising Tensions with Iran

Amid escalating tensions surrounding Iran, the United States has issued urgent advisories for its embassy staff in Israel to evacuate the country immediately. The US State Department has authorized the departure of non-emergency personnel as fears grow over a potential strike on Iran. Concurrently, the UK has also begun withdrawing its diplomatic staff from the region. US embassies in both Israel and Lebanon are advising non-essential employees to leave as safety risks intensify. The calls for evacuation come in response to heightened fears of military actions, particularly following controversial statements from former President Trump regarding Iran. Travel advisories have been updated, urging citizens to leave while flights remain available, highlighting the seriousness of the situation in the Middle East.
