The U.S. has told Americans across the globe to exercise caution after the U.S. and Israel struck Iran early on Saturday.
Americans “worldwide” should be more careful than usual following the joint strikes and Iran’s response across the Middle East, the U.S. State Department said.
The warning applies particularly to U.S. citizens in the Middle East, the U.S. government said. Specific embassies and consulates across the world issue more specific advice.
Iran’s state-run media confirmed on Sunday that the country’s long-time Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had been killed in the U.S. and Israeli strikes on multiple Iranian cities from Saturday morning local time.
Iran responded with drone and missile attacks on Israel, as well as Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates. These states have a significant U.S. military footprint.
