The United States has warned all its citizens in Iran to leave immediately, citing growing safety risks and unstable conditions. The advisory comes as the US and Iran begin indirect negotiations in Oman to discuss Iran’s nuclear activities and broader regional security issues. The US Virtual Embassy in Iran urged Americans to make independent plans to leave as the government cannot ensure their safety or provide routine assistance.
The warning highlighted road closures, public transport disruptions, internet outages, and flight delays or cancellations across Iran. Americans in the country have been advised to stay safe, avoid protests, keep a low profile, and stay in touch with family and friends while monitoring local news for updates.
The advisory also reminded US citizens that Iran does not recognize dual nationality. Those holding both US and Iranian citizenship would be treated solely as Iranian nationals, raising the risk of detention or questioning for anyone openly connected to the United States.
These warnings come as US and Iranian officials hold indirect talks in Muscat, facilitated by Oman, to address the nuclear programme and other security concerns. The negotiations follow months of rising tensions between the two countries, including targeted attacks on Iranian nuclear sites.
Iran’s officials have said they are ready to defend their interests against any “excessive demands,” while US officials aim to discuss nuclear development, missile programmes, and Iran’s influence in the region. Both sides are approaching the talks with mutual suspicion and caution, making the outcome uncertain.
