The US State Department has ordered non-essential staff to depart from six Middle Eastern nations. This action follows Iran's retaliatory strikes against US-Israeli attacks. The affected countries include Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. Travel advisories have been updated due to ongoing threats of drone and missile attacks from Iran and general security concerns.
