Rising tensions between the United States and Iran in March 2026 have triggered urgent warnings for Americans across the Middle East. The United States Department of State advised U.S. citizens to leave 15 countries immediately as military conflict escalates and regional security deteriorates.
Countries listed include Bahrain, Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and others across the region. Embassies have reduced staff while thousands of Americans rush to leave as flights are canceled and airports face security threats.
Marco Rubio said the government is helping about 1,500 Americans still trying to evacuate. Meanwhile, Donald Trump stated the U.S. is prepared for a longer conflict if necessary.
With airspace closures, drone threats, and growing regional instability, officials warn Americans still in the Middle East to leave immediately while travel options remain available.
