Travel Advisory – Middle East Conflict Escalation
In light of the recent escalation involving Iran, the U.S. Department of State has updated travel guidance for several countries in the Middle East. Americans in the region should be aware of heightened risks, including missile and drone activity, sudden airspace or border closures, and potential disruptions to commercial travel.
U.S. citizens currently in the region should contact the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate as their primary point of contact for country-specific security guidance, travel updates, and evacuation information if necessary. Direct communication with the appropriate embassy provides the fastest and most reliable assistance during rapidly changing conditions.
If you are unable to reach the embassy directly, or are calling from the United States:
- From the United States or Canada: 1-888-407-4747
- From Overseas: +1-202-501-4444

Syria – No operating U.S. Embassy
As of February 28, 2026, Syria is experiencing increased hostilities due to regional tensions. The U.S. Embassy in Damascus suspended its operations in 2012. The U.S. government is unable to provide any routine or emergency consular services to U.S. citizens in Syria. The Czech Republic serves as the protecting power for U.S. interests in Syria. U.S. citizens in Syria who are in need of emergency assistance but are unable to reach the U.S. Interests Section of the Embassy of Czechia, should contact the U.S. Embassy in Amman, Jordan.
