The United States was working to organize evacuation routes Americans in Israel — as the Jewish state and Iran continued to fire a barrage of missiles at each other.
It comes after the embassy revealed it would be shut from Wednesday through Friday in order to comply with Israeli guidance.
The US embassy in Jerusalem was working on the evacuation arrangements, US ambassador Mike Huckabee announced in a post on X.
Huckabee urged US citizens still in Israel to sign up for updates through the State Department’s Smart Traveler program as tensions mounted.
The warnings came as intense Israeli airstrikes continued to pummel Iran’s capital early Wednesday — a day after President Trump demanded “unconditional surrender” from the Islamic Republic’s leaders.
