The US State Department has ordered the departure of non-emergency government personnel and their family members from Bahrain, Iraq, and Jordan due to heightened security concerns linked to the ongoing conflict with Iran.
The directive was issued on Tuesday as Washington continues to monitor risks in the region, with Iran retaliating following US-Israeli strikes and raising fears of a wider regional escalation.
The order indicates that only essential personnel would remain in place, with diplomatic operations expected to continue with reduced staffing as officials reassess risks in the coming days.
This move follows a broader regional warning for US citizens, urging them to leave parts of the Middle East, from Egypt eastward, amid plans to intensify strikes on Iran.
