US embassies in Jerusalem, Cairo, and several other Middle Eastern capitals have issued urgent warnings for American citizens amid the threat of escalation of the conflict with Iran. The statements, published on official websites, note the extremely unstable security situation in the region and the high risk of unforeseen conflict development. Particular concern is caused by Tehran's behavior, described as unpredictable, with reference to recent attacks on areas without warning, including Egypt. US citizens in the region are strongly advised to consider leaving and be prepared for immediate evacuation. Those planning trips are advised to cancel them or transit flights, and if unable to change plans, to monitor information about airport and airline operations. Diplomatic missions continue to operate normally, providing standard assistance and visa services. Earlier, Kursor reported that the US is accelerating preparations for strikes on Iran.
