Breaking: The United States has issued an urgent security alert ordering all American citizens in Iran to leave immediately as widespread protests and unrest intensify across the country. The U.S. State Department and the Virtual Embassy in Tehran warned that conditions are deteriorating rapidly and that Americans face risks including violence, arrests, travel disruptions and internet shutdowns.
The advisory urges U.S. nationals to depart without relying on government assistance, and suggests considering land exits through neighbouring countries such as Armenia or Türkiye amid limited commercial flights. Dual U.S.–Iranian citizens were told to use Iranian passports if they leave, as Tehran does not recognise dual nationality.
The alert comes amid nationwide anti-government protests and severe security measures, prompting concerns about personal safety for foreign nationals and heightened geopolitical tensions.
