The US on Monday advised its citizens globally to exercise increased caution due to escalating tensions in the Middle East, noting that the conflict there could expose American travelers and residents to heightened security risks.
In its security statement, the US Department of State confirmed that, “The conflict between Israel and Iran has caused travel disruptions and frequent airspace closures in the region.”
The department also indicated the potential for demonstrations targeting US citizens and interests abroad.
The State Department recommended that all Americans must enhance their vigilance while traveling or residing outside the country.
The statement did not address the specific American role in the conflict, particularly the attacks targeting nuclear facilities inside Iran, which came amidst warnings from Tehran about “irreparable” consequences.
Iran has vowed to retaliate for the recent American strikes, which the Pentagon claimed inflicted significant damage on the Iranian nuclear program.
