The U.S. Embassy in Beirut has warned that Iran and allied militia groups may pose potential threats in Lebanon, including possible targeting of universities and civilian locations.
U.S. citizens in Lebanon are being urged to leave the country immediately, as security risks continue to rise amid the ongoing regional conflict.
The warning comes as tensions escalate between the United States, Iran, and Iran-aligned groups across the region. Previous alerts have highlighted increasing risks from militia activity and potential attacks on public and civilian sites.
In parallel, institutions such as the American University of Beirut have taken precautionary measures, including shifting to remote operations following threats linked to the broader conflict environment.
The embassy emphasized that the situation remains fluid and unpredictable, urging Americans to prioritize personal safety and follow official guidance.
