The U.S. State Department issued an urgent warning on March 2: urging all American citizens to leave 16 countries/regions in the Middle East immediately due to severe security risks and the imminent escalation of war.
🗺️ Affected countries/regions (full list)
- Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq
- Israel, West Bank and Gaza Strip, Jordan
- Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar
- Saudi Arabia, Syria, UAE, Yemen
🧾 Core background
- Trigger: On February 28, the U.S. and Israel jointly struck Iran, which subsequently launched multiple retaliatory attacks against U.S. military/diplomatic facilities in Bahrain, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, and Jordan.
- U.S. actions:
- Ordered the evacuation of non-emergency government personnel and their families from Bahrain, Jordan, and Iraq.
- No evacuation flights organized, relying on still-operating commercial flights; multiple countries have closed their airspace, making evacuation extremely difficult.
- Situation assessment: The U.S. claims the conflict may last 4–5 weeks or even longer, warning that "the most severe strikes have yet to come."
📌 Key impacts
- Airspace closures in many Middle Eastern countries, widespread flight cancellations, severely limited evacuation routes.
- Regional conflict fully spreading, extending from Iran and Israel to the entire Gulf and Levant.
- Risks of severe fluctuations in global energy, shipping, and financial markets are rising sharply.
