US Government Urges Citizens to Leave Iran Amid Rising Unrest
The U.S. government has issued a travel warning urging all American citizens to leave Iran immediately due to ongoing unrest and the risk of detention, particularly for dual nationals. The advisory highlights potential flight disruptions and advises against participating in demonstrations. It also notes that dual U.S.-Iranian nationals must exit using Iranian passports, as Tehran does not recognize dual nationality and treats all dual nationals as Iranian citizens. This situation places them at risk of questioning, arrest, and detention. The advisory provides information on open land borders with Armenia, Turkey, and Turkmenistan, while Azerbaijan's borders remain closed to routine traffic.
