US Embassies across the Middle East are warning of potential “unforeseen escalation” in the Iran war and urging US citizens to consider departing from the region in case of escalation.
This comes as President Trump weighs large-scale attacks against Iran.
The President said last week that he is weighing a “massive” attack on Iran, which would be “bigger than ever before.”
“They haven’t received enough pain yet,” Trump said as US forces continued hitting Iran nightly for nearly two weeks.
“Due to heightened tensions in the Middle East, the security environment remains complex with the potential for unforeseen escalation,” a Security Alert from the US Embassy in the United Arab Emirates reads.
“Americans currently in the Middle East should exercise caution and heightened vigilance and should be prepared for flight cancellations, periodic airspace closures, and potential travel disruptions.”
Americans in the region are urged to “consider departing, or be prepared to depart should there be escalation.”
It further warns Americans against traveling to and through the region, while noting “Iran and groups supportive of Iran may target other U.S. interests overseas or at locations associated with the United States and Americans throughout the world, including U.S. businesses and other institutions.”
Similar versions of the alert were also posted on social media by US Embassies in Jordan, Jerusalem, and Baghdad.
As The Gateway Pundit reported on Friday, Trump has reportedly ordered strikes targeting Iranian energy sites in the largest bombing campaign to date in the war.
This comes after the US resumed strikes on Iran earlier this week after Iran targeted US forces in the Middle East with missiles that were intercepted by the US.
This followed nearly two weeks of nightly attacks earlier this month, which Trump had called off last week to continue negotiations.
The new attacks in Iran are expected to begin as soon as this weekend.
