extr Afghanistan: Level 4: Do Not Travel
Effective 5 years ago ---
There are no serious national events at this time.
Multiple regional conflicts and geopolitical tensions are developing globally, including active warfare in Ukraine, Iran's leadership transition, Venezuela's humanitarian crisis, and armed insurgency in West Africa. Localized weather threats affect the US Gulf and Midwest regions with moderate seismic activity in the Pacific. These developments present medium-to-long-term risks rather than imminent threats to US civilian safety.
