US embassies warn of Israel‑Iran escalation

Embassies in Israel, Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia issued Level 3 travel alerts on 2 August, citing “heightened risk of missile attacks and anti‑U.S. demonstrations.” The warnings stress the possibility of sudden air‑raid sirens, disrupted internet service and the need for citizens to stay in secure locations.

The alerts were coordinated with the State Department’s Near‑East bureau after Trump signalled a willingness to negotiate a deal to end hostilities.

Officials urged U.S. nationals to keep emergency contact information up‑to‑date.
