State Dept. Urges Americans to Evacuate Lebanon as Iran Threatens Revenge

The tension in Lebanon has escalated, prompting the U.S. State Department to issue a Level 4 travel advisory urging Americans to leave the country immediately. The recent events, including Israel’s assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and an air strike in Lebanon killing a Hezbollah commander, have raised concerns of retaliation in the region.

Iranian proxy forces are reportedly mobilizing in Syria to target international coalition bases, heightening fears of a larger conflict. U.S. officials are on high alert, preparing for potential drone and missile attacks from Iran against Israel. The U.S. has deployed additional military assets, including carrier groups and fighter jets with anti-ballistic missile capabilities, to defend against any possible threats.

Despite the escalating tensions, the U.S. continues to advocate for diplomatic solutions and work towards a ceasefire in Gaza. The situation remains fluid and unpredictable, with both sides preparing for the worst-case scenario. Stay informed and stay safe.
