WASHINGTON, 29 August. - (ANA) - American diplomats and some of their family members are beginning to return to U.S. embassies in the Middle East after many were ordered to leave their posts during the early days of the war with Iran.

 

On Friday, the embassies in Doha, Qatar; Kuwait City, Kuwait; and Manama, Bahrain announced they would allow some family members of diplomats to return.

 

Similar measures were implemented earlier this week to all family members of U.S. government employees in Israel as well as those who are over 21 to Beirut, Lebanon.  - (ANA) -
