On 2 Mar 2026 GMT+7, the U.S. State Department urged American citizens to immediately evacuate 12 Middle Eastern countries amid regional tensions after the U.S. and Israel launched attacks on Iran, prompting Tehran to retaliate against multiple neighboring countries.
Ms. Mona Namdar, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs, stated that U.S. citizens have been warned to leave Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen immediately.
