Multiple Nations Warn Against Travel Amid Israel-Iran Crisis

As the conflict between Israel and Iran escalates, the US, UK, India, and South Korea have all issued their highest-level travel warnings, advising citizens to avoid or evacuate Israel, Gaza, the West Bank, and parts of Iran due to severe security threats. The US State Department has authorized the departure of non-emergency embassy staff and families, placing Israel in the same high-risk category as Iran and Russia. The UK and South Korea have highlighted closed airspace and unpredictable conditions, with South Korea expanding its travel alert to all of Iran and urging immediate departure. India is maintaining contact with its citizens in the region and calling for both sides to de-escalate. Airlines have widely canceled flights to and from Israel, and embassies in Jerusalem have instructed staff to shelter in place or relocate within the country. World leaders continue to urge restraint as the situation remains fluid, with military actions and evacuation advisories intensifying.
