The United States has ordered the departure of non-emergency personnel at its embassy in Beirut with their family members, a senior State Department official has confirmed, amid escalating tensions in the region.
The move on Monday comes as the US continues to amass military assets in the Middle East, with President Donald Trump threatening to attack Iran almost daily.
“We continuously assess the security environment, and based on our latest review, we determined it prudent to reduce our footprint to essential personnel,” the US official told Al Jazeera.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the Knesset on Monday that Israel is facing "very complex and challenging days" but is prepared for every scenario.
"I have made it clear to the Ayatollah regime that if they make the gravest mistake in their history and attack the State of Israel, we will respond with a force they cannot even imagine," he warned.
Ahead of the Purim holiday, Netanyahu called for unity: "This is not the time for disputes. We must close ranks and stand shoulder to shoulder. I am confident in our strength and in our fighters."
He also highlighted Israel's close ties with the United States, saying the alliance "has never been stronger" as the country navigates regional tensions.

State Department orders nonessential US diplomats to leave Lebanon as tensions with Iran soar
WASHINGTON(AP) — The United States has ordered nonessential diplomats and their family members to leave Lebanon, a State Department official said Monday, as tensions over Iran rise with the threat of a potentially imminent military strike.
The official said a continuous assessment of the regional security environment determined it was “prudent” to draw down the U.S. Embassy’s footprint so that only essential personnel remained at their posts.
The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the move had not yet been formally announced, said that it is a temporary measure and that the embassy remained operational Monday.
