Americans must not travel to Afghanistan, Burma (Myanmar), North Korea, Venezuela, Iran, or Russia due to the high risk of “wrongful detention” in these nations, the State Department said in a Sept. 10 X post.

All six nations currently have the “Level 4: Do Not Travel” designation—the most severe of the four travel advisory levels under the State Department.
