On June 22, 2025, the U.S. Department of State issued a Level 4: Do Not Travel advisory for Lebanon. This advisory was issued due to the volatile and unpredictable security situation in the region.
The advisory cites ongoing armed conflicts, civil unrest, and the risk of terrorism as major concerns. The U.S. government has ordered the departure of family members and non-emergency personnel from Lebanon.
The decision follows escalating tensions, including recent airstrikes by Israel on Iranian facilities. The U.S. Embassy in Beirut has warned that assistance to U.S. citizens may be limited. Travelers are urged to exercise extreme caution and consider departing the country.
