The United States has issued security warnings to its diplomatic missions across the Middle East, including embassies in Jerusalem, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Qatar, alerting staff to heightened threats from Iran-backed Houthi forces and Iranian attempts to target senior US government officials in the region.

According to Ynet and Walla reporting, the warnings specifically mention risks of attacks by Houthi militants supported by Iran, as well as potential aviation disruptions, flight cancellations and airspace closures. The advisory reflects US intelligence assessments of escalating threats in the region.

This warning comes amid ongoing US-Iran negotiations led by Vice President Vance, who maintains near-daily contact with Iranian intermediaries through Qatari and Pakistani mediators. However, the US military remains prepared for potential renewed strikes against Iran within a short timeframe, according to reporting from multiple sources.
