As of July 3, The US embassy is closed. I'm not a "nervous nelly" traveler - I have spent considerable time in the Middle East, & speak serviceable Arabic.

Nonetheless, for me, this would cause serious reconsideration of my trip b/c it means that if things really disintegrate while I'm there, I have nowhere to turn. Things may improve between now and mid July.
