US Advises Americans to Leave Over a Dozen Middle Eastern Countries Amid Iran Conflict

The US State Department has urged American citizens to immediately depart from over a dozen Middle Eastern countries, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Israel, Iran, and others, citing serious safety risks amid escalating conflict following US and Israeli strikes on Iran. The advisory recommends using available commercial transportation, though flights have been disrupted across the region. The warning follows retaliatory missile and drone attacks by Iran on US and allied sites, with US officials activating emergency task forces and providing helplines for assistance.
