US Advises Citizens to Leave Iran Amid Escalating Protests and Security Concerns

The U.S. Virtual Embassy in Iran has issued an advisory urging American citizens to "Leave Iran now" due to escalating protests that may turn violent. The advisory warns of potential arrests, injuries, and severe disruptions, including internet and travel restrictions. U.S. citizens are advised to consider departing by land to Armenia or Turkey, or to secure a safe location and stock supplies if unable to leave. Dual citizens face additional complications, as Iran does not recognize dual nationality.
