US embassies urge citizens to 'consider departing' Middle East

U.S. embassies in several Middle Eastern capitals warned American citizens to beware an "unforeseen escalation" in the regional conflict and urged them to be ready to leave.

"Americans in the region should consider departing, or be prepared to depart should there be escalation," said a security alert, versions of which were posted on social media by the U.S. missions in Amman, Jerusalem and Baghdad.
