The US State Department has issued an urgent warning to its citizens in the Middle East on Saturday, warning them to prepare immediately for the possibility of widespread disruptions to air traffic, including flight cancellations and airspace closures in several countries in the region.
This high-level diplomatic warning comes amid escalating military tensions and exchange of fire in the Middle East, increasing the risk to civil aviation and prompting US embassies to take precautionary measures to protect citizens.
In an exclusive interview with Axios, US President Donald Trump revealed decisive escalatory moves and positions regarding Iran.
He confirmed that he previously considered launching a military attack larger than ever before against Iran, and that US forces are fully prepared to carry it out.
