The US Embassy in the United Arab Emirates has extended its consular service suspension, canceling all appointments from July 23 to 25, according to the mission. The embassy and its Dubai consulate remain under a 'coercive evacuation' status, meaning non-essential American government personnel have been relocated from the country. Only limited emergency consular services for US citizens are available. The move follows the embassy's earlier cancellation of appointments for July 13–15, reported by The Zioneer at 23:09. The cancellations come amid heightened regional security concerns, which have prompted similar measures by US diplomatic missions in Jordan and Iraq, as previously reported by The Zioneer. It remains unclear whether the cancellation period may be extended further.
