US urges citizens to leave 14 countries amid Iran war escalation

US citizens must immediately depart Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, UAE, and Yemen via commercial means due to escalating safety risks. The directive follows Iran's attack on a US military base in Kuwait killing six service members and targeting regional assets. President Trump declared the US will prevail in the conflict, which has expanded to include strikes on Iranian missile facilities and naval assets. The Senate will vote this week on War Powers Resolution limiting military action without congressional approval. Operation Epic Fury involves the largest US regional military deployment in decades, with 1,000 Iranian targets hit in first 24 hours. NATO supports the mission but won't participate.
