US updates travel advisories, issues Level 4 'Do Not Travel' warning for Iran amid escalating conflict
As the US-Iran war continues, the State Department has updated its travel advisories to warn Americans about certain destinations to avoid. Iran is now labelled as a Level 4 “Do Not Travel” area due to terrorism, unrest, kidnapping, arbitrary arrest of US citizens, and wrongful detention.

Currently, the countries classified as “Level 4” include Afghanistan, Haiti, Iraq, Libya, Russia, and Somalia, according to Fox News.
