The US State Department is warning Americans to reconsider travel to Bahrain and has allowed non-emergency US government personnel and their family members to depart the country “due to safety risks.”

Axar.az, citing CNN, reports that the increase in the travel advisory level, issued Saturday, comes after the US and Israel launched military strikes on Iran, with Tehran retaliating with military strikes across the region.

“Following the onset of hostilities between the United States and Iran on February 28, there has been an ongoing threat of drone and missile attacks from Iran and significant disruptions to commercial flights,” the updated travel advisory said.
