The U.S. Department of State has updated its Travel Advisory for Kuwait, ordering the departure of non-emergency U.S. government personnel and their family members effective March 2. While the advisory’s risk indicators remain unchanged, the summary now reflects adjustments to U.S. Embassy operations in Kuwait.
The U.S. Embassy in Kuwait announced that it will remain closed until further notice due to ongoing regional tensions. All regular and emergency consular appointments have been canceled, and the embassy stated that it will notify the public once normal operations resume.
Americans in Kuwait seeking assistance are advised to contact local emergency services by dialing 112. For consular assistance, U.S. citizens may reach the State Department’s Consular Affairs at +1-888-407-4747 or +1-202-501-4444.
Additionally, the U.S. State Department has ordered the evacuation of non-emergency personnel and family in Bahrain and Jordan. The State Department has urged Americans across the Middle East to leave over the ongoing war with Iran.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia acknowledged coming under attack from Iranian drones on Tuesday, urging Americans to avoid the diplomatic post for the time being.
