extr Afghanistan: Level 4: Do Not Travel
Effective 5 years ago ---
There are no serious national events at this time.
Active US-Iran military escalation with strikes near nuclear facilities creates immediate regional destabilization risk and potential global energy supply disruption, while concurrent Ebola outbreak in DR Congo and geopolitical fragmentation across multiple regions compound medium-term security challenges; domestic weather threats remain localized and manageable.
