The United States is evacuating some diplomatic staff from its embassy in Iraq and authorizing the voluntary return of dependents from Bahrain and other Middle Eastern locations amid deteriorating nuclear negotiations with Iran. The move signals growing concern over regional instability and the potential collapse of ongoing diplomatic efforts.
Thousands gathered in London on Saturday to protest China’s proposed “mega-embassy” project. Demonstrators condemned China’s human rights abuses and warned the embassy could become a hub for surveillance against dissidents living abroad.
