The U.S. State Department cut jobs with deep expertise in the Middle East as Iran crisis escalates.
@AssociatedPress reports the diminished "Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs would ordinarily be at the center of the geopolitical fray."

The widening war in Iran is exposing big gaps at the State Department, especially in the bureau that handles the Middle East. In recent weeks, officials say, the Trump administration has cut staff, left key leadership jobs vacant and relied on a small circle of aides. Former officials describe an understaffed and demoralized workforce. They link the turmoil to mixed public messaging, weak planning and trouble helping Americans trapped in conflict zones. They say the department started evacuation planning late. The State Department now relies on temporary task forces and volunteers.
"This policy change is illegal," said Ginger Quintero-McCall, a public interest lawyer who represents FPF.
"It would not surprise me at all to learn that the administration reassigned employees who objected to this illegal policy of secrecy."
