The US State Department is preparing to send diplomats back to various embassies in the Middle East. These embassies completed the evacuation of personnel on the eve and during the war between the US and Iran. This move shows that the Trump administration predicts that full-scale military conflict will not break out again. An internal State Department document obtained by the media shows that the return of diplomats to work and the downgrading of emergency security measures for US agencies in the Middle East began as early as this week. Three US officials, who are not authorized to speak out, also confirmed these adjustments. Despite the stalemate in the US-Iran negotiations, the Trump administration has also threatened to implement a new round of economic sanctions, and the redeployment of personnel will continue. Documents show that it is planned to restore higher-staffed embassies, including US embassies in Israel, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Oman, Iraq, and Kuwait. The US State Department said in a statement: “We continue to evaluate the security situation of global diplomatic agencies. Based on the latest assessment, we have adjusted the staffing of some foreign agencies in the Middle East to ensure the continued promotion of US foreign policy goals on the premise of safeguarding the safety of personnel.”
