U.S. Issues Middle East Travel Alert Amid Rising Tensions
TL;DR
The U.S. State Department issued a September 19 regional security alert for the Middle East cautioning Americans to seriously reconsider travel to and through the region as renewed fighting between Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Houthis could escalate and trigger flight cancellations and airspace closures. Americans already in the region should stay vigilant and follow local authorities, while travelers with plans to transit through Middle East hubs should monitor airline status and be prepared for changes.
