The U.S. Department of State has issued a Worldwide Caution Security Alert, urging American citizens abroad to exercise heightened vigilance.
The alert comes in response to growing instability in the Middle East due to the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran.
The State Department warned that the conflict has caused travel disruptions and intermittent airspace closures across the region.
There is a potential risk of demonstrations targeting U.S. citizens and American interests in various countries.
U.S. travelers are advised to closely review the latest Travel Advisories, country-specific information, and security alerts before making international travel plans.
The Department encouraged all U.S. citizens overseas to remain aware of their surroundings and take appropriate precautions.
