The US State Department issued a global security reminder on its official website on the 18th, advising US citizens around the world to be more alert. The reminder said that due to heightened tension in the Middle East region, the security environment is still complicated, and there is a possibility of an unexpected escalation. American citizens around the world, especially in the Middle East, should be alert and follow the news to keep up to date with the latest developments. The reminder also said that US citizens overseas should follow the safety warning guidelines issued by the nearest US embassy or consulate. Flight cancellations and phased airspace closures may interfere with travel. “US diplomatic institutions, including those outside the Middle East, have been targeted. Pro-Iranian groups may attack US interests overseas, US related sites around the world, or US citizens.”
