State Department Renews Worldwide Caution Alert, Warns Iran Groups May Target Americans

The U.S. Department of State on March 22 again advised American citizens around the world to “exercise increased caution,” renewing a worldwide caution alert that was issued by the agency in late February amid concerns about the Iran war.

“Americans abroad should follow the guidance in security alerts issued by the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate,” the State Department said in an advisory, also noting that citizens in the Middle East should pay particular attention because U.S. diplomatic buildings have been targeted “even outside the Middle East.”
