Iranian media: United States diplomats' plans to return to the Middle East suspended

According to the Iranian news agency Mehr, citing reports from the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, diplomatic sources have revealed that the United States Department of State has suspended plans to reassign diplomats to the Middle East, including Israel, due to the escalation of military tensions between the United States and Iraq. Previously, the New York Times reported on 28 August that the White House had decided to reassign United States Embassy staff who had previously been evacuated as a result of the war with Iran to the Middle East. It should be noted that the news itself was relayed by the Iranian media and that the so-called Israeli original sources have not yet been independently validated and have not been reported in other mainstream English-language media.
