U.S. Embassy staff in Israel urged to leave amid rising tensions with Iran
U-S Embassy staff in Israel are being urged to quickly leave the country amid the threat of possible military action against Iran. U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee encouraged embassy staffers to immediately book flights out of Israel and to make their way to Washington. He wrote in an email that outbound flights may or may not be available “over the coming days.” President Trump has threatened military action if Iran does not agree to a far-reaching deal on its nuclear program. Iran insists it has the right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes and denies seeking a nuclear weapon. GC, Wash.
