flag UK pulls diplomats from Iran amid U.S. military buildup and fears of war.

Due to escalating tensions and fears of US military strikes, the UK has temporarily withdrawn diplomatic staff from Iran, and the embassy is now operating remotely. The move comes after failed nuclear talks, a significant US military buildup in the region, and Iran's threats to retaliate against Israel. The United States has urged Israel's non-essential personnel to leave, while China, India, and Canada have advised citizens to evacuate Iran. Diplomatic efforts continue, with Oman reporting progress in indirect negotiations, though no agreement has been reached. The UK has rejected a US request to use Diego Garcia for potential operations, citing international law concerns.
