Americans warned by US Embassy in Israel to prepare for ‘crises’ amid Iran tensions

The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem issued a security alert Wednesday reminding personnel and Americans in Israel of the embassy's standard advice. 

The alert follows weeks of mass street protests in Iran against Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s regime, heightening global tensions.

"Given ongoing regional tensions, the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem continues to reiterate standard advice to its personnel and all U.S. citizens in Israel to exercise good personal security and preparedness practices," the alert says.
