extr Afghanistan: Level 4: Do Not Travel
Effective 5 years ago ---
There are no serious national events at this time.
Active US-Iran military operations with escalating rhetoric, ongoing Ukraine-Russia warfare, India's nuclear acceleration, North American wildfires, and Congo Ebola crisis create a convergent crisis environment. Multiple dangerous events are occurring in real-time with potential for rapid escalation in the near term. Domestic weather hazards and volcanic activity compound the global instability picture.
