US starts returning staff to Middle East missions after Iran war evacuations: Sources
United States personnel are returning to some Middle East diplomatic missions after tensions eased. Staff will go back to posts in Lebanon, Israel, and Saudi Arabia. Family members can also return to the U.S. post in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This move suggests a lower risk of conflict escalation with Iran currently. Embassies will initially operate below full authorized personnel levels.
