The US State Department issued a new security warning to American citizens in the Middle East, urging them to exercise extreme caution in light of the complex security situation.
In its statement, Washington warned of flight cancellations, airspace closures, and travel disruptions, and urged American citizens not to travel to Iran and to leave it immediately.
The United States also warned that conflicts in the region could escalate rapidly, and that Iran and its proxies could harm US interests, US-affiliated sites, and its citizens around the world.
It urged citizens to avoid demonstrations and gatherings, comply with authorities' instructions, and monitor flight status.
