The U.S. State Department is warning Americans in Israel, Iraq and Jordan, to exercise heightened caution due to escalating tensions across the Middle East, citing the potential for further conflict and sudden travel disruptions in several newly issued advisories. U.S. citizens currently in the region are advised to consider departing while commercial flights remain available, or be prepared to leave if the security situation deteriorates. The advisory warns of possible flight cancellations, airspace closures, and other transportation disruptions. The State Department also cautions that Iran and Iran-backed groups may target U.S. interests worldwide, including embassies, businesses, and locations associated with Americans, noting that the conflict has expanded into areas not previously targeted, including Egypt. Americans are urged to remain vigilant and reconsider non-essential travel to or through the region.

In a new region-wide warning, the State Department warns Americans in the Middle East to be prepared for “escalation” in the Iran conflict, and “should be prepared for flight cancellations, periodic airspace closures, and potential travel disruptions.”

Trump on Truth Social: "Today, the Board of Peace reached a HISTORIC agreement for the COMPLETE DISARMAMENT of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza. This is a monumental step toward lasting PEACE and SECURITY. This agreement is a critical step towards Gaza finally being governed by a new Palestinian government that will work closely with the Board of Peace to help the Palestinian people. At the same time, Israel will have the security it deserves, with Gaza no longer used as a base for terror attacks. This is a major milestone in the implementation of the Trump 20-Point Plan. The agreement will be carried out in carefully structured phases. As disarmament is completed, Israeli forces will withdraw, and the International Stabilization Force will work with a new Palestinian police force to take responsibility for Gaza being safe for its residents and its neighbors. One year ago there was a violent raging war, humanitarian crisis and hostages kept in brutal captivity. We have made historic progress and there is still much work to do. I want to thank the mediators—Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye—for their important efforts, and especially my outstanding team, whose tireless work made this historic breakthrough possible. The threat that emerged from Gaza on October 7 will NOT be allowed to rebuild! Under this agreement, Gaza will finally be in the hands of a new Palestinian government that serves its PEOPLE. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL ON THIS AMAZING DEVELOPMENT, THAT EVERYBODY SAID COULD NEVER BE ACHIEVED!"
