According to CoinMeta, recently, the U.S. State Department issued a safety warning to American citizens in the Middle East, advising them to "consider leaving the area or be prepared to evacuate quickly in case of an escalation of tensions." U.S. officials revealed that Washington is considering launching a new round of military strikes against Iran as early as this weekend. Meanwhile, Iran has stated that it will further target countries that allow U.S. military bases to be stationed there. The U.S. State Department once again reminded people in the Middle East to remain cautious and vigilant, and to be prepared for flight cancellations, temporary closures of airspace, and other travel disruptions. The announcement also emphasized that American citizens planning to travel to the Middle East should seriously reconsider their travel plans.
