The United States embassies in the Middle East are issuing security alerts and recommending that American citizens leave the region.

The United States embassies in the capitals of the Middle East have issued security alerts, urging American citizens to consider leaving the region due to the increased risks of escalating tensions.

The messages, published on social media, emphasize the need to verify flight information and to follow the instructions of local authorities. American citizens are advised to avoid American military bases in Jordan, recently targeted by Iranian missiles, and to identify air raid shelters in Israel. The U.S. Embassy highlighted the unpredictability of the Iranian regime, which has carried out attacks without warning in the region.

Recently, a drone struck an American ship in Egypt, causing a fire. Tensions between Iran and the U.S. have escalated, with nighttime exchanges of gunfire resuming, and the war in the Middle East has been triggered by joint attacks by the U.S. and Israel against Iran.
