The United States, due to escalating military tensions with Iran, has advised its citizens residing in the Middle East to prepare for evacuation as a safety precaution. U.S. embassies in Jordan, Iraq, Israel, and other locations urged Americans to consider the possibility of flight cancellations and airspace closures and to review their plans for departure should the situation worsen. These warnings followed reports that the United States might carry out airstrikes against Iran's energy infrastructure this weekend. While it is reported that the U.S. and Israel are planning a joint airstrike, a final decision has yet to be made.
