US downsizes Middle East presence amid Iran tensions
The US has ordered some staff to leave its embassy in Baghdad amid rising tensions with Iran, which has threatened to strike American assets in the Middle East over its nuclear program. The move follows increased military drills by Iran and its decision to establish a new uranium-enrichment center, as diplomatic negotiations continue in Oman. Despite heightened rhetoric, talks between the US and Iran are ongoing, with regional security concerns prompting US restrictions and troop movements.
