The US urges American citizens to leave Iran as soon as possible on their own and develop departure plans that do not rely on assistance from the US government. If departure is temporarily impossible, they should seek local safety, stock up on necessary supplies, avoid demonstrations, and remain discreet.

The announcement emphasized that individuals holding dual US-Iranian nationality must use an Iranian passport to exit. Iran does not recognize dual nationality, and American citizens face a higher risk of being interrogated or detained locally.

As of now, land border crossings between Iran and Armenia, as well as Turkey, remain open; however, exiting via Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan requires prior special permission. The US also reminds its citizens not to travel to Afghanistan, Iraq, or the border areas between Iran and Pakistan.

Due to the lack of diplomatic relations between the US and Iran, the Swiss Embassy in Tehran provides limited assistance as the representative of US interests. The US Department of State urges American citizens in Iran to closely monitor the evolving situation and depart as soon as conditions permit.
