(CNN) -- Foreign diplomatic missions in North Korea face an ominous decision after Pyongyang said Friday it could not guarantee the safety of embassies and international organizations in the event of armed conflict.

Tensions on the Korean peninsula remain in a heightened state amid new reports that North Korea has prepared missiles for launch, while South Korea has deployed naval destroyers to its coasts.

The British Foreign Office said North Korea told British officials that it would not be able to guarantee the safety of diplomats in the capital if fighting breaks out.

Several diplomatic missions said the North Koreans held a meeting Friday for ambassadors in which they asked whether anyone needed assistance in evacuating their personnel.

"We are consulting international partners about these developments," the British Foreign Office said in a written statement. "No decisions have been taken, and we have no immediate plans to withdraw our embassy."

    Well, when it comes down to it, we should stay out of it. Let the North and South work it out. Let them fight or whatever. Eventually, a unification will transpire, or not. It's not our business or conflict. We have no business having all those military bases over there with our soldiers deployed. I'm sure Ron Paul would agree? Yeah, the American embassy should fold tent. It would seem that they have failed anyway.
