The department notice cites heightened tensions in the Middle East.
The U.S. State Department issued a worldwide caution for U.S. citizens traveling abroad this week. The department cited heightened tensions in the Middle East and called the security environment “complex with the potential for unforeseen escalation.”
The department noted, “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. Please monitor embassy and consular security alerts, local authorities, and the news for breaking developments. Americans outside the Middle East should reconsider travel to and through the region.”
The notice continued, “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.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary of State Rubio and members of the U.S. diplomatic corps as they seek to ensure the safety of Americans traveling overseas.
- For President Trump to receive God’s guidance regarding Iran and the military campaign in the Middle East.
