The United States has issued a strong advisory urging its citizens in Iran to leave the country immediately, citing rising tensions and concerns over safety as important diplomatic talks with Tehran approach.
Officials warned that the security situation could change quickly and that travel routes may become limited without notice. Americans in Iran were told not to rely on US government assistance for departure and to make their own plans as soon as possible.
The advisory highlighted possible disruptions to communication services, including internet and phone access, which could make it harder to receive updates or contact family members. It also noted that flights may be cancelled or delayed, and overland routes could face sudden restrictions.
Special caution was advised for dual nationals, as Iran does not recognize dual citizenship. This can lead to complications in legal matters and consular access. Those unable to leave were advised to stay in secure locations, avoid large gatherings, and keep a low public profile.
The warning comes just before expected high-level discussions between US and Iranian officials. These talks are seen as important for addressing ongoing disputes, including concerns over regional security and Iran’s nuclear programme.
Tensions between the two countries have remained high in recent years, with both diplomatic efforts and political statements contributing to uncertainty. Observers say such advisories are issued when governments believe risks to their citizens could increase.
The situation continues to be monitored closely, and further updates may be issued depending on developments in the region.
