The US’s virtual embassy to Iran issued a travel warning on Friday, reiterating a call urging all US citizens to “leave Iran now,” and providing a list of open border crossings at the time of the advisory.
Further, any US nationals would be at risk of questioning, arrest, and detention, and showing a US passport could be a reason for Iranian authorities to detain someone, the advisory warned.
The advisory also noted that land borders with Armenia, Turkey, and Turkmenistan are open, while Azerbaijan’s land borders are “closed to routine traffic,” and advised against travel to Afghanistan, Iraq, or the Pakistan-Iran border areas.
Additionally, the State Department-run site warns that “airlines continue to limit or cancel flights to and from Iran.”
US citizens are warned, therefore, to “expect continued internet outages, plan alternative means of communication, and, if safe to do so, consider departing Iran by land to Armenia or Turkey,” and are advised in the latest warning to have a plan to depart Iran that “does not rely on US government help.”
