US orders more diplomatic staff to leave Iraq, Lebanon
BAGHDAD: The United States has ordered staff from its diplomatic missions in Iraq and Lebanon to leave the countries, with the departures taking place as American strikes on Sunday targeted nuclear facilities in nearby Iran. More diplomatic personnel left Iraq on Saturday and Sunday as part of ongoing efforts to 'streamline operations,' a US official told AFP. The departures were a continuation of a process that started last week 'out of an abundance of caution and due to heightened regional tensions,' the official added. In Lebanon, the US embassy said the State Department on Sunday had ordered staffers' family members and non-emergency US government personnel to leave the country. A statement on the embassy website cited 'the volatile and unpredictable security situation in the region.' Earlier in the day, Washington joined Israel's war against Iran, with US President Donald Trump announcing strikes on the Islamic republic's main nuclear sites. After the strikes, an adviser to Iran's supreme leader warned that bases in the region used to launch US attacks 'will be considered legitimate targets.' Fears were also growing over possible intervention by Iran-backed armed factions around the Middle East, who have threatened Washington's interests should it join Israel's campaign. Israel has already fought a war in Lebanon with the Tehran-backed militant group Hezbollah, leaving it badly weakened before a ceasefire took hold in November. On Sunday, Hezbollah said the US strikes revealed 'the true face of the United States of America as the largest threat to regional and international security and stability.' The group has not previously expressed any intention to intervene militarily on Iran's side, but its chief Naim Qassem said last week that it would 'act as we see fit.' Washington has a 'do not travel' advisory in place for Lebanon. Iraq, meanwhile, has for years navigated a delicate balancing act between its allies Tehran and Washington, has also long been a fertile ground for proxy battles. On Sunday, the Iraqi government expressed 'its deep concern and strong condemnation of the targeting of nuclear facilities' in Iran, spokesperson Basim Alawadi said. 'This military escalation constitutes a grave threat to peace and security in the Middle East and poses serious risks to regional stability,' he added.

Twenty killed in suicide bombing at Damascus church
At least 20 people were killed and dozens injured when a suicide bomber blew himself up at the Mar Elias Church in the Dweila neighborhood of Syria's capital Damascus on Sunday, health authorities and security sources said. It was the first suicide bombing in Damascus since Bashar Assad was toppled in December. Syria's interior ministry said the suicide bomber was a member of Daesh (Islamic State). He entered the church, opened fire and then detonated his explosive vest, a ministry statement added. A security source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said two men were involved in the attack, including the one who blew himself up. Daesh has been behind several attempted attacks on churches in Syria since Assad's fall, but this was the first to succeed, another security source told Reuters. Syria's state news agency cited the health ministry as saying that 52 people were also injured in the blast. A livestream from the site by Syria's civil defense, the White Helmets, showed scenes of destruction from inside the church, including a bloodied floor and shattered pews and masonry. Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa, who led the offensive against Assad before taking over in January for a transitional phase, has repeatedly said he will protect minorities. 'We unequivocally condemn the abhorrent terrorist suicide bombing at the Mar Elias Greek Orthodox Church in Damascus, Syria,' the Greek foreign ministry said in a statement. 'We demand that the Syrian transitional authorities take immediate action to hold those involved accountable and implement measures to guarantee the safety of Christian communities and all religious groups, allowing them to live without fear.' Daesh had previously targeted religious minorities, including a major attack on Shiite pilgrims in Sayeda Zainab in 2016 — one of the most notorious bombings during Assad's rule. The latest assault underscores the group's continued ability to exploit security gaps despite the collapse of its territorial control and years of counterterrorism efforts.
