Britain, despite considering the situation in the Middle East, does not change the number of our staff
The spokesperson for the British Prime Minister’s office announced on Thursday, June 11, coinciding with the increased tensions in the region and the issuance of permits to reduce non-essential staff and relatives of American diplomatic staff in Iraq, Bahrain, and Kuwait, that they have not received a new plan to make a similar decision.
