US Embassies Across Mideast Are Permanently Reassigning Personnel
It is not just America's military bases in the Middle East which have been greatly reduced in terms of personnel or in some cases completely abandoned altogether due to the Iran war, but US Embassies in the region have also suffered forced downgrades of staff.
Iran's retaliation on US locations and assets across the region was much bigger and more effective than US planners apparently expected, and this could have lasting impact on how US military and diplomatic deployments operate in the region.
In some cases, such as the US Embassy in Baghdad's Green Zone, diplomatic compounds have been directly targeted by Iranian fire or that their proxies. And now, "The State Department is asking US embassies in the Middle East to create plans to continue operating with a small number of staff on the ground, sources told CNN, as the war with Iran shows no signs of resolution."
