US warns its citizens in the region of possible flight cancellations and airspace closure

U.S. embassies in the region have urged Americans throughout the Middle East to “exercise increased vigilance” amid escalating regional tensions and the possibility of further escalation. The embassies warned travelers to prepare for the potential cancellation of flights, closure of airspace, and other disruptions. Americans were advised to contact airlines directly and monitor airport operations. The security alert also warned that Iran and its backed groups could target U.S. interests abroad, including diplomatic facilities, companies, and other sites linked to Americans.
