US issues warnings against travel to six countries in the Middle East

The US State Department has warned its citizen against travelling to six Middle Eastern countries, including Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Syria and Yemen. In a post on X, the department said all six countries remained under its highest travel advisory, Level 4, which instructs Americans not to travel for any reason. "We assign Level 4 based on local conditions and/or our limited ability to help Americans there," it said. "These places are dangerous. Do not go for any reason."
