Overview
- An updated Feb. 6 alert instructs U.S. citizens to depart immediately and not rely on U.S. government assistance.
- Officials cite ongoing internet outages, road closures, public transport disruptions and unreliable flights across Iran.
- The advisory highlights elevated risks of questioning, arrest and detention, especially for U.S.–Iranian dual nationals, which Iran treats solely as Iranian citizens.
- Americans are advised, if safe, to consider land exits to Armenia or Türkiye, with specified crossings reported open as of Feb. 5, while the U.S. cannot guarantee safety on any route.
- The warning coincides with U.S.–Iran talks in Oman, as Washington maintains a heightened regional posture and reiterates limited capacity to help citizens inside Iran.
