UK Pulls Diplomats as Iran-US Tensions Surge | Belfast News

UK evacuates last remaining diplomats from Iran as tensions spike amid US airstrikes, with officials warning travelers—especially dual nationals—to stay away amid rising risks of detention. This follows a similar pullout in February before US-Israeli strikes began. The US is targeting Iran’s ability to threaten regional shipping, with Trump vowing retaliation for every Iranian vessel attack—such as destroying bridges or power plants. Iran’s foreign minister matches the threat, calling for “eye for an eye,” and air defenses were activated over Tehran during recent strikes. In response, Iran has struck energy and desalination facilities in Gulf nations, raising legal concerns. The region remains on edge as military escalation and diplomatic efforts collide.
