DAMASCUS, Syria (North Press) \u2013<\/strong> The U.S. Embassy in Jordan on Sunday urged American citizens to avoid travel to Aqaba’s international airport and seaport after Jordanian authorities evacuated both facilities in response to what it described as a “specific and credible threat.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a security alert, the embassy said Jordanian authorities had evacuated the airport and seaport in the southern port city of Aqaba and strongly advised U.S. citizens not to travel to either location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The embassy also urged Americans in Jordan to comply with all security directives issued by Jordanian authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The alert reiterated previous guidance advising U.S. citizens to avoid travel to military bases in Jordan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The embassy also noted that, on March 2, 2026, the U.S. Department of State ordered the departure of non-emergency U.S. government employees and their family members from Jordan due to ongoing security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
