US embassies across the Middle East issued new security alerts to Americans in the region on Tuesday as the US launched what appeared to be a heavy round of airstrikes across Iran’s coast and the IRGC began to respond with attacks on US bases.
US embassies in Jordan, Jerusalem, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Qatar said that due to “tensions in the Middle East, the security environment remains complex with the potential for unforeseen escalation.”
The US Embassy in Amman specifically advised Americans “to avoid travel to military bases in Jordan” as US military facilities in the country have become a frequent target in Iran’s retaliatory strikes.
