US urges citizens to evacuate Middle East
Multiple media reports say that the US State Department is urging its citizens to evacuate immediately from Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, United Arab Emirates and Yemen.
That would mean any US personnel at Six Flags Qiddiya as well as Abu Dhabi's Yas Island, where Disney is developing its next theme park and SeaWorld and Warner Bros. also have branded parks. Not to mention, of course, the countless other expat workers, students and tourists through the region, including in Israel.
I guess it's not looking good for me going to the inaugural IAAPA Middle East Expo in Abu Dhabi later this month, is it? IAAPA said earlier today that it expects to make an announcement early next week about the Expo, but today's development might accelerate that decision.
Best wishes and safe hopes for all our friends, colleagues and readers in the region.

Ah yes the new made up war by the GOP..
Trump recently said he Obliterated the Iran nuclear program.
So why this now war? Maybe they have the Weapons of mass destruction they are still looking for from then last two made up wars.
And who is paying for this new unfunded war?
As I sit here watching Oil spice up to $80 per barrel from $62 and watch the thousands upon thousands of dollars flow out of my 401K and IRA..
I guess you can't spell conservative with out the Con....
And I thought the GOP valued life, but now take many lives, collateral damage will take many innocent lives. Yes Iran is full of crap like all the Middle east countries.
PS - before you @me with your GOP defense BS remember I a Vet who has already been over there....And I have seen friends killed for fake wars. 13 in total.
Safe wishes to all US citizens abroad and also all innocent civilians caught up in this escalating conflict.
