US launches new airstrikes on Iran for eighth night in a row after soldiers killed in Jordan

The US State Department has issued a Worldwide Caution alert for American citizens due to heightened tensions in the Middle East. The alert advises US citizens globally, particularly those in the Middle East, to adhere to security guidance from local US embassies or consulates. It warns of potential travel disruptions from flight cancellations and airspace closures, noting that "US diplomatic facilities, including outside the Middle East, have been targeted." The alert also cautions that "groups supportive of Iran may target other US interests overseas or locations associated with the United States" worldwide. This follows a previous travel warning for the Middle East and a specific warning from the US Embassy in Jerusalem for Americans to avoid northern Israel, Gaza, and the Egyptian border.
