US diplomats and family members slowly begin to return to Middle East embassies
US diplomats and family members slowly begin to return to Middle East embassies. Diplomats and their families were ordered to leave embassies in another five countries in the region early in the war. The State Department created a new status -- that of "restricted operations" -- to allow the embassies to resume normal functions. On a case-by-case basis, each affected embassy will make its own determination on appropriate staffing. US diplomats and some family members are returning to American embassies across the Middle East after six months of war with Iran prompted evacuation orders. The State Department is easing staffing restrictions and introducing a “restricted operations” status, largely to address personnel rules and benefits, rather than signal a policy shift toward Iran.
Why it matters. Why it matters: US diplomats and family members slowly begin to return to Middle East embassies.
