U.S. State Department Issues Security Warnings Across the Middle East

The U.S. State Department warned Americans in eight Middle Eastern countries about potential escalation and threats to U.S.-linked interests.

The U.S. State Department issued security warnings covering:

United Arab Emirates
Israel
Bahrain
Jordan
Kuwait
Iraq
Lebanon
Qatar

The warning stated:

Iranian-supported Houthis have engaged in hostilities against Saudi Arabia, including attacks on civilian airports and other critical infrastructure resulting in civilian casualties and severe travel disruptions. The hostilities have the potential to escalate rapidly beyond that immediate area.

Americans traveling to or from the Middle East should monitor information about airport and airline operations and develop contingency plans in advance.

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, including U.S. businesses and other institutions.

In the quoted post, Shin identified the notice for the United Arab Emirates as a security alert issued by the U.S. Embassy in the UAE.
