The UK Foreign Office is planning potential evacuations of thousands of British citizens from the Middle East amid escalating regional tensions following Iranian missile attacks, with approximately 200,000 Britons in the region and over 50,000 in the United Arab Emirates where airspace remains closed. The government is exploring evacuation routes including overland passages to neighboring countries like Saudi Arabia, while Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper coordinates diplomatic efforts with regional and international allies.
