Urgent evacuation urged as U.S.-Iran tension risks widen

Amid looming risk of a U.S. strike on Iran, the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem moved to an authorized departure and told staff to leave Israel immediately, warning that flights could be limited as Washington weighs targeted or broader action. The push comes as Iran talks continue without a breakthrough; the State Department has issued travel advisories for Israel and the West Bank, and other countries have urged departures or begun evacuations for diplomatic staff. Airlines and routes are already affected, underscoring heightened security concerns in the region.
