Overview
- The U.S. State Department renewed an urgent alert telling Americans to exit Iran immediately, advising overland travel to Türkiye or Armenia and noting there will be no U.S. government evacuation support.
- The advisory highlights a heightened risk of questioning, arrest, and detention for U.S.–Iranian dual nationals because Iran does not recognize dual citizenship.
- India’s Ministry of External Affairs and its embassy in Tehran instructed Indian nationals to leave at the earliest and to avoid travel to Iran, sharing emergency helplines and urging use of available commercial flights.
- Australia has issued similar guidance, cautioning that possible airspace closures and suspended airline services could soon make departure impossible.
- Rights groups report death tolls above 2,000 during the crackdown, while widespread internet restrictions and transport disruptions hinder both verification and exit planning; President Trump’s public calls for protesters to keep demonstrating have added to regional strain.
