Washington, June 23 (V7N) – The United States conducted a strike on Iran’s nuclear facility shortly after midnight on Saturday, prompting the U.S. government to issue a global security alert for its citizens. American nationals abroad have been urged to exercise increased caution amid rising regional tensions.

In a statement released by the U.S. Department of State on Sunday, officials warned that ongoing conflicts between Israel and Iran are disrupting travel across the Middle East, with occasional closures of the region’s airspace. The statement highlighted concerns about potential protests and anti-American demonstrations in various parts of the world.

According to a CNN report, the State Department advised U.S. citizens to consult the latest security information and travel advisories on its official website before planning trips abroad.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has issued warnings about a “high threat environment” within the country itself. Authorities noted an increased risk of low-level cyberattacks and lone-wolf attacks following the strike on Iran.

Given the current global climate, the U.S. government emphasizes the importance of vigilance and staying updated with the latest information to ensure citizens’ safety worldwide.
