The UK Foreign Office announced on Friday it is temporarily withdrawing embassy staff from Tehran due to escalating security threats amid intensifying Israel-Iran conflict. The embassy will operate remotely. This follows an earlier decision to evacuate families of UK staff from both Israel and Iran. The move coincides with renewed Iranian missile strikes on Israel and Israeli attacks on military targets in Tehran, including missile sites. Meanwhile, UK, French, and German foreign ministers are holding talks in Geneva with Iran to push for de-escalation. The White House says Donald Trump will decide within two weeks on possible US military involvement. (PC: BBC)
