UK says withdraws embassy staff from Iran

The UK said Friday it had withdrawn its embassy staff from Iran on the eighth day of the war with Israel, as the U.S. mulled whether to enter the conflict.

"Due to the current security situation, we have taken the precautionary measure to temporarily withdraw our UK staff from Iran. Our embassy continues to operate remotely," the foreign ministry said in a statement.
