# The British Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has temporarily withdrawn its diplomatic staff from Iran due to rising security concerns, shifting embassy operations to remote work. This is amid US president Donald Trump’s threats to “bomb and destroy” Iranian infrastructure. The British government warns that the situation in the Middle East remains unpredictable, and there is a risk of more attacks and unforeseen escalation in the region. Meanwhile, an updated government travel advice continues to advise British citizens against travelling to Iran.
