    US Embassy in Georgia issues warning about Middle East tension

    The statement reads that US Government personnel have been instructed to exercise a higher level of personal security awareness, Agenda.ge reports.

    The Embassy calls on US citizens to be aware of their surroundings, stay alert in locations frequented by tourists, review personal security plans and have travel documents "up on date" and "easily accessible". The situation in the Middle East escalated after Iranian general Qasem Soleimani was killed in a US drone strike at Baghdad International Airport on January 3.

    US President Donald Trump said the US acted to stop a war by killing Qasem Soleimani, as he was plotting “imminent and serious attacks on American diplomats”.
