US evacuates non-emergency personnel from Beirut embassy

The State Department has ordered non-emergency U.S. personnel and their families to leave the U.S. Embassy in Beirut due to security concerns.

The embassy will maintain core operations with essential staff, and this decision is temporary.

This action follows President Trump’s warnings of possible military action against Iran if it does not comply with demands regarding its nuclear program.

While diplomatic talks continue, Trump has indicated he may consider large-scale military action if negotiations fail.

He emphasized the risks of making a deal with Iran, stating, “bad things happen” if a meaningful agreement isn’t reached.

Iran has warned it would respond forcefully to any attacks.
