Konflik · UK evacuates staff · ArsipUK Pulls All Staff From Iran as US-Iran War Intensifies — 12th Night of StrikesDitulis 7 September 2026 pukul 21.22 UTCTontonTranskrip0:00The United Kingdom has pulled all of its0:01remaining diplomatic staff out of Iran,0:04the strongest sign yet that America's0:05closest ally sees no end in sight to the0:07US Iran war. The Foreign Office0:09temporarily withdrew all personnel on0:11July 22nd, though the embassy continues0:13operating remotely.0:15This comes as the US conducts its 12th0:17consecutive night of air strikes on0:18Iran, and as Houthi rebels enforce a0:20declared maritime blockade in the Red0:22Sea. Let's start with the geography of0:24this escalating conflict.0:26Iran sits at the center of a rapidly0:28widening war zone. US air strikes have0:31pounded Iranian targets for 12 straight0:33nights. Houthi rebels in Yemen have now0:35attacked Saudi oil tankers in the Red0:37Sea, and Iran has struck US bases in0:39both Kuwait and Jordan. The UK's0:42decision to pull all staff from Tehran0:43underscores how dangerous this region0:45has become. Foreign Secretary Ed0:47Miliband, appointed just yesterday by0:49new Prime Minister Andy Burnham, has0:51already signaled a diplomatic push to0:53end the fighting. He is expected to meet0:55with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio0:57in the coming days. The Foreign Office0:59updated its travel warnings across the1:01entire Middle East, warning Britons they1:03face, quote, "significant risk of1:05arrest, questioning, or detention in1:06Iran, with no consular assistance1:08possible." To understand the scale, this1:11war has now entered its 12th consecutive1:13night of American air strikes on Iran.1:15That is nearly 2 weeks of sustained1:17bombardment with no signs of1:18de-escalation. Overnight, the conflict1:20took a dangerous new turn at sea. Houthi1:23rebels bombed two Saudi oil tankers1:25about 70 nautical miles southwest of Al1:28Shuqaiq, the first enforcement of their1:30declared Red Sea blockade. No casualties1:32or environmental damage have been1:34reported from the attack, but the1:35strategic message is clear. The rebels1:37are now actively interdicting commercial1:39shipping. The timeline shows how quickly1:42this crisis has spiraled. What began as1:44US air strikes 10 days ago has expanded1:46into a multi-front conflict involving1:48Iran, Yemen's Houthi rebels, and now1:50international shipping lanes in the Red1:52Sea. A senior British diplomat told our1:55colleagues the embassy in Tehran will1:56continue critical functions remotely,1:58but no staff remain on the ground.2:00Iran's foreign minister has now warned2:01of an {quote} eye for an eye response to2:03further US threats. With a British2:05diplomatic vacuum in Tehran, no2:07face-to-face consular assistance2:08available, and the war spreading across2:10the region. The question is whether2:12Miliband's planned meeting with Rubio2:13can open any path toward de-escalation.Baca artikelKronologi ceritaHeyDexVideo singkat ↗
