The U.S. Department of State on Tuesday issued the second security alert in three days amid heightened Mideast tensions, advising U.S. citizens to exercise increased caution.
“Due to heightened tensions in the Middle East, the security environment remains complex with the potential for unforeseen escalation.
The notice posted on the Department of State’s website read: “Americans currently in the Middle East should exercise caution and heightened vigilance and should be prepared for possible flight cancellations, periodic airspace closures, and potential travel disruptions.
“U.S. diplomatic facilities, including outside the Middle East, have been targeted.
“Iran and groups supportive of Iran may target other U.S. interests overseas or at locations associated with the United States and Americans throughout the world,” it added.
