The statement noted that the decision was made in light of recent security incidents and an updated situational assessment. American citizens currently residing in Israel have been urged to consider departing the country while commercial flights remain available. This travel warning follows an intensive round of talks between the United States and Iran, which concluded Thursday in Geneva without reaching any agreements. Tehran rejected US demands for a complete halt to uranium enrichment on its territory and the dismantling of key nuclear facilities. The White House warned that in the absence of a diplomatic agreement, a military strike remains a possibility in the near future.
