“Leave Iran now. Have a plan for departing Iran that does not rely on U.S. government help.”
Governments around the world are urging their citizens to leave Iran immediately as unrest spreads nationwide, air travel collapses, and fears grow of a broader regional escalation
The U.S. Virtual Embassy Iran issued a stark warning to American citizens still in Iran, instructing them to depart without delay and not to rely on U.S. government assistance. “Leave Iran now. Have a plan for departing Iran that does not rely on U.S. government help,” the embassy said in a notice posted on its website.
The advisory suggested that U.S. citizens consider overland routes into Armenia or Turkey if it is safe to do so. For those unable to leave immediately, the embassy advised remaining indoors and preparing for extended disruption.
