Americans in 10 countries 'be ready to flee' as Iran war spirals

Americans in ten Middle Eastern countries are urged to prepare for evacuation as the conflict with Iran escalates. The US Embassy advised citizens to "consider departing or be ready to depart if there is an escalation." Affected countries include the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Iraq, Jordan, Israel, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Egypt.

This warning followed President Trump’s announcement of potential strikes on Iran, prompting increased military readiness. Tensions have risen as Iran launched drone attacks, while US and Israeli forces consider coordinated strikes on Iranian infrastructure. The situation remains volatile, with ongoing threats from both sides.
