The U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia has urged American citizens in the country to remain vigilant as strikes between the United States and Iran escalate. The advisory was reported Wednesday in a live report by the Qatar-based news outlet Al Jazeera.
In the warning, the U.S. Embassy said the security situation remains complex due to ongoing tensions in the Middle East, with the possibility of an unexpected deterioration.
The advisory also urged U.S. citizens currently in the Middle East to exercise extra caution and be prepared for possible flight cancellations, airspace closures and various travel disruptions.
The warning for American citizens in Saudi Arabia was issued against the backdrop of recent military escalation between the United States and Iran.
