The United States is evacuating diplomatic personnel from Iraq due to threats from Iran to target US bases in the region, as confirmed by a State Department official. President Trump emphasized his commitment to American safety, leading to a reduction of embassy personnel based on recent security assessments. The evacuation order affects all nonessential staff in Baghdad and permits optional departures for nonessential personnel and families from Bahrain and Kuwait, amid growing concerns over US-Iran nuclear talks and regional tensions.
