BREAKING: U.S. Authorizes Voluntary Departure of Military Families Across Middle East
U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has officially authorized the voluntary departure of military dependents stationed at bases and other facilities across the Middle East, according to Reuters.
This precautionary move comes as tensions escalate between the United States and Iran, following stalled nuclear negotiations, regional threats, and rising fears of a potential military confrontation.
The Pentagon is positioning this as a preventative safety measure, not a full evacuation—yet.
