By Sammy,
Amid the ongoing conflict with Iran, Americans in more than a dozen Middle Eastern countries, including Israel, are being urged to leave immediately. Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasizes that the safety of U.S. citizens worldwide is the department's top priority.
He directs travelers abroad to enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) at step.state.gov for real-time updates, and to follow the department's alerts on WhatsApp and @travelgov on social media.
For immediate assistance, Americans can also contact the State Department 24/7 at +1-202-501-4444. Rubio does not specifically mention the recent evacuation order but underscores the department's focus on citizen security.
