US Pulling Non-Essential Staff From Embassy In Beirut Amid Tensions

The State Department is pulling out non-essential government personnel and their eligible family members from the US embassy in Beirut, a senior State Department official said yesterday, amid growing concerns about the risk of a military conflict with Iran.
“We continuously assess the security environment, and based on our latest review, we determined it prudent to reduce our footprint to essential personnel,” said a senior State Department official, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
“The Embassy remains operational with core staff in place. This is a temporary measure intended to ensure the safety of our personnel while maintaining our ability to operate and assist US citizens,” the official said.
A source at the US embassy said 50 people had been evacuated, while an official at Beirut airport said 32 embassy staff, along with family members, had flown out of Beirut airport yesterday.
The US has built up one of its biggest military deployments in the Middle East, with President Donald Trump warning on Thursday that“really bad things will happen” if no deal is reached to solve a longstanding dispute over Tehran’s nuclear programme. Iran has threatened to strike US bases in the region if it is attacked.
“Should employees occupying emergency positions wish to depart post, please review alternative arrangements to fill the emergency position and consult with your regional bureau Executive Office as necessary,” an internal State Department cable on the pullout seen by Reuters said.
US interests were repeatedly targeted in Lebanon in the 1980s during the 1975-90 civil war, during which the US held the Hezbollah responsible for attacks including the 1983 suicide bombing against the US Marines headquarters in Beirut that killed 241 servicemen and a 1983 suicide attack on the US embassy in Beirut that killed 49 embassy staff.
