The State Department travel warning is now in effect after the department issued a Worldwide Caution on Saturday for Americans traveling or living overseas. Officials said the alert comes as tensions in the Middle East keep rising following renewed military exchanges involving Iran.
In the advisory, the department said the security picture is changing and could bring more instability. It warned that Americans abroad may face added risks as the situation develops. The notice did not give a specific country-level threat, but it urged extra vigilance.
