Summary of official information. Always check the official source and follow the guidance of the authorities. UECN does not issue risk ratings; the absence of an alert does not mean that a destination is safe.
The US Embassy in Amman has issued a security advisory urging American citizens across the Middle East to exercise heightened vigilance due to a complex security environment. The embassy cautioned travelers about potential flight cancellations, airspace closures, and travel disruptions across the region.
According to the mission, Iranian-supported Houthis have carried out hostilities against civilian airports and critical infrastructure in Saudi Arabia, with the potential for hostilities to escalate rapidly. The alert noted that overseas commercial interests, transport facilities, and other civilian infrastructure could face security risks.
The embassy advised passengers traveling to or from the Middle East to monitor operational updates and check departure statuses directly with airlines or through Queen Alia International Airport in Amman. Travelers were also instructed to follow official Jordanian government safety instructions, while the embassy confirmed routine citizen and visa services remain operational.
