GLOBAL SITUATION ALERT: November 3rd

As the U.S. midterm elections take place on November 3, 2026, LSDS anticipates minimal disruption nationwide, although police presence may vary by location.

Our team continues to monitor potential U.S. and Israeli military action against Iran and its regional proxies. If the United States acts independently, Iran could retaliate against U.S. assets and civilian infrastructure. Israeli involvement could also trigger drone and rocket attacks against Israel.

We are also monitoring the potential for attacks or disruptions by radicalized individuals or small terrorist cells targeting U.S. interests and facilities in the Middle East, Gulf states, Europe, and other regions. Ongoing protests across Europe, some becoming increasingly disruptive, may also present additional risks near large gatherings.

Travelers in the Middle East and Europe are encouraged to:

• Enroll in a safe-traveler program.

• Remain vigilant and maintain situational awareness.

• Anticipate potential travel disruptions if military action resumes.

• Familiarize themselves with local warning sirens and emergency alerts.

• Identify nearby shelters and safe locations.

• Seek shelter immediately if an emergency alert is issued.
