US Orders Non-Essential Personnel and Families to Evacuate Jordan, Bahrain, and Iraq Amid Security Concerns

Washington D.C. The US State Department has ordered the mandatory evacuation of non-essential US government employees and their families from Jordan, Bahrain, and Iraq due to security concerns. According to the State Department, employees in Jordan and Bahrain face continuous risks of drone and missile attacks from Iran.

Furthermore, significant disruption to commercial flights and the threat of potential terrorist attacks have been highlighted. In the case of Iraq, the department warned of a high risk of violence and kidnapping.

This is the first decision to remove non-essential personnel from these three embassies since the US and Israel initiated military operations against Iran. US officials stated that this signals increased security risks across the region following Iran's retaliatory measures.

US military and diplomatic structures could become specific targets. Additionally, a warning was issued that some American citizens might find it difficult to leave the region due to disruptions in commercial flights.
