The U.S. Department of State recommended on Tuesday that all U.S. diplomatic facilities in the planet immediately review safety measures in connection with the war in the mediate East,” said the paper "Washington Post".
A dispatch addressed to diplomatic institutions said that a review was essential in view of the situation in the mediate East and its possible "side effects" (spill-over effects).
According to the newspaper, akin instructions have been sent to diplomatic posts in the mediate East in fresh weeks, but it appears that Tuesday's message is the first to be sent to institutions around the planet in connection with the war with Iran.
The diary recalled that many American embassies have been targeted by Iran and its allies since the beginning of the war on 28 February. respective diplomatic missions were temporarily closed, and staff were instructed to leave any countries.
Armed groups in Iran are estimated to have carried out 292 attacks on U.S. facilities since 28 February, according to 1 of the papers reached the Washington Post. It besides states that groups of armed men go around the home looking for information about U.S. citizens.
One paper shows that the building where American diplomatic personnel live in Israel was hit on the weekend by “a captured Iranian ballistic warhead that did not explode”. No 1 was hurt.
The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh as a consequence of the drone attack is partially “unrepairable”. The roof fragments collapsed and any another parts of the facility were smoky – the diary reports.
Although most of the threats concern U.S. facilities in the mediate East, respective cases of force have besides been reported elsewhere, e.g. before the U.S. Consulate in Toronto, where 2 men fired respective shots, and the Oslo embassy where the detonation occurred.
It is not known whether today's call from the State Department is related to fresh warnings or intelligence about possible attacks.
