The U.S. Department of State has issued an urgent advisory for American citizens to leave Syria immediately due to the deteriorating security situation. The advisory highlights the unpredictability of the security environment, with widespread clashes between armed opposition groups across the country. U.S. citizens are urged to depart while commercial options are still available in Damascus, and those unable to leave are advised to prepare for emergency situations and seek safe locations.
