“We advise U.S. citizens that hotels ​and other gathering points including ​U.S. businesses and U.S. educational institutions may ‌be ⁠potential targets.”

The embassy asked Americans to remain inside and stay away from windows until ​further ​notice.

The ⁠latest advisory came after Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said ​they would target U.S. ​companies ⁠in the Middle East as of April 1 in retaliation ⁠for ​attacks on Iran, ​state media reported.
