The U.S. Embassy in Qatar warned American citizens on Monday to shelter in place. “Out of an abundance of caution we recommend American citizens shelter in place until further notice,” the embassy said in a notice posted online on Monday.

The State Department had earlier warned U.S. citizens around the world to “exercise increased caution,” after the U.S. joined Israel’s assault on Iran, bombing three key Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday.

Prior to the U.S. strikes, Iran vowed that it would retaliate against the U.S. if it joined the conflict. A spokesperson for Qatar’s ministry of foreign affairs said in a statement that the “advisory from a number of embassies to their citizens do not reflect the existence of specific threats.”
