Foreign governments and security advisory bodies are urging their citizens to leave Iran immediately as regional tensions and internal uncertainties raise concerns over personal safety and mobility.

According to updated travel advisories, travelers currently in Iran are advised to make independent plans to depart the country without relying on US government assistance, as emergency support may be limited or unavailable under current conditions.

A key concern highlighted by advisory sources is the possibility of sudden flight cancellations and airspace disruptions. Airlines may suspend or alter routes with little or no notice, prompting travelers to remain in direct contact with their airlines for the latest updates and contingency options.

For those unable to leave the country at this time, advisories recommend seeking secure shelter either within their residence or in another safe building. Individuals are urged to maintain adequate supplies of food, drinking water, essential medications, and emergency necessities to remain self-sufficient for an extended period if required.

Security guidance also stresses the importance of avoiding public demonstrations and large gatherings, maintaining a low profile, and staying alert to changes in the surrounding environment. Travelers are advised to closely monitor local developments and follow instructions issued by trusted international and local sources.

These warnings come amid a broader pattern of heightened caution issued by diplomatic missions and international security organizations, reflecting growing unpredictability in the region and the potential for rapid changes in the security situation.
