US withdraws staff from Middle East amid Iran tensions
The US has begun evacuating embassy staff from the Middle East amid escalating tensions with Iran, which is criticized by the IAEA for nuclear non-compliance. In Gaza, violence continues with Hamas accused of attacking aid workers, killing at least five, and Israel recovering the bodies of two hostages. US-Iran talks are set to resume in Oman, while regional tensions prompt the US to move personnel out of potentially dangerous areas. Israel's parliament also rejected a move to dissolve itself, amid ongoing conflict and political instability.
