- The U.S. Department of State has issued a worldwide security alert advising American citizens abroad to “exercise increased caution”.
- This alert stems from the conflict between Israel and Iran, and America’s recent involvement in a surprise attack on Iran's nuclear sites.
- The advisory warns of potential disruptions to travel, periodic airspace closures across the Middle East, and demonstrations against U.S. citizens and interests.
- It follows a previous "do not travel" advisory for Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank, citing a high potential for terrorist attacks and missile or drone strikes in Israel.
- Americans traveling overseas are advised to check specific country guidance on travel.state.gov and enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) for important alerts.
