The United States has tightened security in several public areas following its airstrikes on three nuclear facilities in Iran.
According to Bombo International News Correspondent Marissa Pascual, the US had already been on alert for a possible Iranian retaliation even before the strike.
Israel had reportedly warned of repercussions tied to continued US involvement in the ongoing Middle East conflict.
President Donald Trump stated that the airstrike aimed to push forward peace in the region, expressing hope that Iran would now adhere to a peace agreement.
While the general situation in the US remains calm, heightened security measures have been implemented in areas such as airports.
Residents in affected regions have begun to express anxiety over the potential for retaliatory attacks.
Meanwhile, American citizens currently in the Middle East—particularly in Israel—are seeking assistance from the US government for repatriation amid the escalating unrest.
