extr Afghanistan: Level 4: Do Not Travel
Effective 5 years ago ---
There are no serious national events at this time.
The global security posture has significantly deteriorated with active US-Iran military escalation, ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict destabilizing allied regions, and a rapidly spreading Ebola outbreak reaching Europe, coupled with multiple natural disaster threats across the United States. The convergence of these crises across military, health, and natural domains creates immediate near-term risks to civilian safety and global stability.
