美国国务院周一命令驻黎巴嫩贝鲁特的美国大使馆非紧急人员撤离。
该部门未透露撤离背后的具体原因。此举发生在总统唐纳德·特朗普下令在中东大规模增兵并威胁伊朗政权之际。
“美国国务院已下令撤离驻贝鲁特美国大使馆的非紧急美国政府人员及符合条件的家庭成员，”美国国务院表示。
声明继续称：“我们会持续评估安全环境，根据最新审查结果，我们认为将人员规模缩减至必要人员是谨慎之举。大使馆仍由核心工作人员留守并维持运作。这是临时措施，旨在确保人员安全，同时保持我们开展工作和协助美国公民的能力。”

据报道，在美国可能发动打击的前景下，伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）已加强了对黎巴嫩真主党的控制。
据《耶路撒冷邮报》报道，这一战术转变是在真主党和伊朗为该地区的军事对抗做准备之际发生的，分析师警告称，如果华盛顿对伊朗政权发动具体打击，真主党已准备好“行动”。
“如果（德黑兰政权）感到受到威胁，那么动用真主党针对以色列和美国地区资产的可能性会大幅增加，”中东研究所高级研究员罗斯·哈里森告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
“真主党不会立即行动，除非袭击直接针对伊斯兰共和国的领导层。但作为逐步回应的一部分，真主党可能会被视为一个资产，”他补充道。
哈里森在其著作《解读伊朗外交政策》中解释道：“如果面临生存风险，伊朗可能会不顾一切，试图最大限度地调动真主党。”
特朗普此前给了伊朗10至15天的期限来回应一项协议，这引发了人们对如果德黑兰不遵守将采取什么措施的疑问。
新一轮谈判定于周四在日内瓦举行，预计将重点讨论伊朗的核计划，包括铀浓缩水平和制裁豁免问题。

哈里森解释说：“白宫内部关于伊朗问题的决策圈非常小，总统亲自密切掌控一切。”
他补充说，任何直接针对伊朗政权的决定可能都在特朗普的核心顾问圈中决定。

The U.S. State Department ordered non-emergency personnel to evacuate the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, on Monday.
The department did not offer any details for the reason behind the evacuation. The move comes as President Donald Trump has ordered a large buildup of forces in the Middle East and made threats against the Iranian regime.
“The Department of State has ordered the departure of non-emergency U.S. government personnel and eligible family members from U.S. Embassy Beirut,” the State Department said.
“We continuously assess the security environment, and based on our latest review, we determined it prudent to reduce our footprint to essential personnel. The Embassy remains operational with core staff in place. This is a temporary measure intended to ensure the safety of our personnel while maintaining our ability to operate and assist U.S. citizens,” the statement continued.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has tightened control over Hezbollah in Lebanon amid looming prospects of potential U.S. strikes, according to reports.
According to the Jerusalem Post, the tactical shift comes as Hezbollah and Iran prepare for military confrontation in the region, with analysts warning that if Washington specifically strikes the regime, Hezbollah is ready to be “activated.”
“If the [regime in Tehran] feels threatened, the likelihood of unleashing Hezbollah against Israel and U.S. regional assets increases substantially,” Ross Harrison, a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute, told Fox News Digital.

“Hezbollah would not be activated right away, unless the attack immediately targets the leadership of the Islamic Republic. But as part of a graduated response, Hezbollah will likely be seen as an asset,” he said.

“If it faces an existential risk, then Iran may throw caution to the wind and try to deploy Hezbollah to the maximum,” Harrison, author of “Decoding Iran’s Foreign Policy” explained.
Trump previously gave Iran a deadline of 10 to 15 days to respond to a deal, raising questions about what steps Washington could take if Tehran fails to comply.
A new round of talks is now scheduled for Thursday in Geneva and expected to focus on Iran’s nuclear program, including uranium enrichment levels and sanctions relief.

“The decision-making circle in the [White House] is very small regarding Iran, with the president keeping a close hand on it all,” Harrison explained.
He added that any decision to directly target the Iranian regime would likely rest within Trump’s inner circle of advisers.
