The United States has cautioned its citizens to get ready for a potential evacuation from the Middle East following the latest threat by Donald Trump to initiate strikes against Iran. The State Department has released a new advisory covering 10 Middle East countries, including the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Israel, Oman, Qatar, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Egypt.
Americans in the region are urged to stay vigilant and be prepared to leave if the situation escalates. The advisory also highlights the possibility of flight cancellations, periodic airspace closures, and potential travel disruptions, as reported by the Daily Express. The advisory specifically pointed out the unpredictability of the Iranian regime, citing recent attacks in the region without prior warning or expanding attacks to new areas such as Egypt.
In a statement on X, the alert advised Americans in the Middle East to exercise caution, emphasizing the likelihood of flight cancellations, airspace closures, and travel disruptions. It recommended considering departure or being prepared to leave in case of increased tensions. Moreover, individuals traveling to or from the region are advised to stay informed about airport and airline operations due to potential risks.
Major General Ali Abdollahi, head of Iran’s wartime military command, accused the United States of hastening towards triggering a large-scale regional war. He emphasized the need for Muslim countries to carefully monitor the actions of the US and reconsider their alignment with the nation to avoid being drawn into conflict. Abdollahi warned that countries aligning with the US may face the consequences of war.
