On June 22, 2025, the U.S. Department of State issued a Worldwide Caution alert in response to the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. These developments have caused significant travel disruptions across the Middle East, including the intermittent closure of airspace. As tensions rise, U.S. citizens abroad may face increased risks, including the possibility of demonstrations and anti-American sentiment.

This alert serves as a reminder for all U.S. travelers to remain vigilant and informed. If you’re planning international travel or are currently overseas, it’s important to stay updated through official resources. Take a few moments to review the latest Travel Advisories, country-specific safety information, and any recent security alerts. These are all available on the State Department’s travel website: travel.state.gov.

Situations like this can develop quickly. Even countries not directly involved in the conflict may experience ripple effects, such as protests or heightened security measures. Wherever you are, maintain awareness of your surroundings, register with the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP), and be ready to adjust your plans if needed.

The State Department urges all U.S. citizens to exercise increased caution during this time
