# The US State Department has issued a worldwide caution for Americans, saying the Israel-Iran conflict has resulted in disruptions to travel and periodic closure of airspace across the Middle East. It says there is the potential for demonstrations against US citizens and interests abroad. Meanwhile, the US Department of Homeland Security has warned of a heightened threat environment in America due to the ongoing conflict. It says low-level cyberattacks against US networks by pro-Iranian hacktivists are likely, adding that the conflict could also motivate violent extremists.
