AMMAN — The US embassy on Thursday said a weather warning message circulated on social media has been “falsely attributed” to it.

“This message has not been distributed by the US embassy; any security or safety messages are distributed through our website, official social media platforms, or press releases,” the embassy said in a statement. “Any announcements regarding changes to operating hours or services for the embassy due to inclement weather will be made through those means,” it added.
