Supplemental Info:
The Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant, Iran's second enrichment facility after the Pilot Fuel Enrichment Plant at Natanz, is situated on a military base operated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Key sections of the Fordow facility are housed in tunnels deep within a mountain near the city of Qom.
Potential Iranian Responses:
Iran-backed militias in Iraq and Syria may target U.S. bases. Mining or otherwise obstructing the Strait of Hormuz. Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen may resume attacks on ships in the Red Sea / Gulf of Aden, along with the deployment of naval mines. Activation of proxy assets in western nations, including the U.S. homeland.
Guidance:
US citizens abroad are strongly encouraged to register with the State Department to receive important local security updates and to aid in rendering assistance in the event of a major security incident. US citizens abroad are strongly encouraged maintain a low profile and minimize any outward signs marking you as an American.
Retaliation on non-military targets is a very real possibility. In the homeland or abroad, all are encouraged to maintain a high level of vigilance when in public. Terrorist groups and those inspired by them have specifically targeted U.S. citizens in overseas locations. Do your best to blend. Terrorists have previously targeted a variety of public spaces, including:
High-profile public events (sporting contests, political rallies, demonstrations, holiday events, celebratory gatherings, etc.) Hotels, clubs, and restaurants Places of worship Schools Parks Shopping malls and markets Public transportation (buses, trains, airports)
