US Urges Citizens in Mideast to Register for Departure; Mideast Countries Vow to Respond After Attack by Iran

The U.S. State Department is asking Americans in Israel, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates to register online to receive assistance from authorities to leave the region amid the conflict with Iran. U.S. citizens can contact the State Department directly at +1-202-501-4444 for assistance.

Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry says it's preparing a response after two suspected Iranian drones injured four people. Iranian officials have denied responsibility. The UAE says its air defenses detected seven ballistic missiles on March 5. Six were intercepted and destroyed. Qatar also reported a missile attack earlier on March 5. Authorities urge residents to remain indoors as tensions remain high.
