SECURITY ALERT: U.S. EMBASSY MANAMA – JULY 17, 2026
By U.S. EMBASSY MANAMA
5 MINUTE READ
JULY 17, 2026

Event: Due to high tensions in the Middle East, the security environment remains complex with the potential for unforeseen escalation. We remind Americans in the region of the continued need for caution and encourage them to monitor the news for breaking developments. Americans traveling in or through the region should also check with their air carriers to make sure their flights are still scheduled. Americans should reconsider any travel to Bahrain and reconsider travel to/through the Middle East.

On March 2, 2026, the Department of State ordered non-emergency U.S. government employees and family members of U.S. government employees to leave Bahrain due to safety risks.

The U.S. Embassy remains open for routine American Citizen and visa services.

Actions to Take:

If you hear a loud explosion, or if sirens are activated, immediately seek cover.
If in a home or building, go to the lowest level of the structure with the fewest exterior walls, windows, and openings; close any doors and sit near an interior wall, away from any windows or openings.
If you are outdoors, immediately seek cover in a hardened structure; if that is not possible, lie down and cover your head with your hands.
Be aware that even if the incoming missile or drone is intercepted, falling debris represents a significant risk.
After the attack, stay away from any debris, and monitor major news outlets for official guidance.
