US Issues Travel Warning for Israel as Iranian Missile Attack Kills Two US Soldiers in Jordan
The US Embassy in Jerusalem issued a new security alert on Saturday, urging American citizens to reconsider travel to Israel amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. The embassy instructed all US government employees and their families to shelter in place and be ready to move to protected areas if alarms sound, until further notice. This warning follows fears of a broader conflict between the US and Iran.
In a related development, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that two American soldiers were killed and one is missing after an Iranian missile strike targeted a US base in Jordan. This attack raises the total number of US military fatalities in the ongoing conflict to 16. Approximately 50,000 US troops are currently deployed across the Middle East.
Earlier on Saturday, Iran's Fars news agency reported a stern warning from a senior Revolutionary Guard official, threatening further attacks if the US targets Iranian civilian infrastructure. The official specifically advised evacuating airports in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, as well as ports in Fujairah and Jebel Ali. Iran also announced it is suspending all commitments under its memorandum of understanding with the US.
Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei condemned US President Donald Trump, calling his signature on agreements worthless and accusing the US of exposing its true hostile nature. He warned that any US escalation would provoke lasting consequences for Iran and its allies.
Meanwhile, regional hostilities continue: Jordan intercepted four drones and ten Iranian missiles earlier in the day, while Kuwait also reported intercepting missiles launched from Iran. Iranian media reported that a water desalination facility in the city of Jask was destroyed in recent strikes.
