- The State Department issued security alerts across multiple Middle Eastern posts urging U.S. citizens to reconsider travel as Iran tensions escalate, with U.S. embassies in the region posting the warnings simultaneously.
- The U.S. embassy in Israel issued a separate security alert specifically tied to Houthi threats, reflecting the broader regional risk environment driving the State Department's advisory.
