The United States Urges Its Citizens To Leave Iran "Now".
Arabic and international Economy News - Follow-up The "virtual" US embassy in Tehran has asked American citizens to leave Iran immediately. In a "security alert" published Friday, the embassy urged American citizens to "leave Iran now" and prepare exit plans that do not rely on assistance from the U.S. government.
The statement warned American citizens in Iran of the risks of "continued heightened security measures, road closures, disruption of public transportation, internet shutdowns, and the Iranian government's continued restrictions on access to national mobile, fixed-line, and internet networks, as well as airlines reducing or canceling flights to and from Iran."
The statement said that "American citizens should expect continued internet outages, plan for alternative means of communication, and, if safe, consider leaving Iran by land to Armenia or Türkiye."
This comes as the United States and Iran hold negotiations in Muscat in an attempt to reduce tensions in relations between the two countries, amid a massive buildup of US forces in the region and Washington's threats to strike Iran if it refuses to make a deal on its nuclear and missile program and its regional policies. https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=65377
