The US Embassy in Jordan has urged American citizens in the Middle East to consider leaving the region or be prepared to depart in the event of further escalation, according to a statement from the embassy.
The US Embassy in Jordan on Saturday advised American citizens in the Middle East to consider leaving the region or be prepared to depart quickly if further escalation occurs. The advisory, posted on the embassy's official channels, did not cite a specific threat but warned of the potential for sudden security deterioration.
The advisory is part of an ongoing series of diplomatic warnings from US missions across the Middle East. Earlier this month, the US Embassy in Iraq urged American citizens to leave immediately, and in previous weeks, embassies in Jordan and Israel issued shelter-in-place orders during periods of heightened aerial threats. The current warning suggests Washington assesses that the risk of broader regional escalation remains elevated.
