The U.S. Department of State issued a worldwide security alert advising Americans to exercise increased caution, warning that groups supportive of Iran may target U.S. interests overseas or locations associated with the United States and Americans.
The State Department said Sunday that Americans abroad, especially in the Middle East, should follow guidance in security alerts issued by the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate, and warned that periodic airspace closures could disrupt travel.
“Groups supportive of Iran may target other U.S. interests overseas or locations associated with the United States and/or Americans throughout the world,” the alert added.
The warning comes after several incidents worldwide since the war began that investigators or officials have linked, or are examining for possible links, to the conflict.
