Today, the US embassies in Bahrain, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Iraq and other countries issued a security warning stating that due to the tense situation in the Middle East, the current security environment is still complicated, and there is an unforeseen risk of escalation. US citizens currently in the Middle East should be on high alert and watch out for possible flight cancellations, airspace closures, and travel disruptions. US citizens outside of the Middle East should seriously reconsider their itinerary to or through the region. The security warnings all mentioned the recent clash between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia in Yemen, saying that there is a possibility that this military conflict will escalate rapidly, and that American citizens traveling to and from the region should pay close attention to the latest information on airport and airline operations. According to the security warning, US diplomatic facilities, including those outside the Middle East, have been targeted. Iran and pro-Iranian groups may target other US interests overseas, or locations associated with the US and Americans around the world.
