The "virtual" US embassy in Tehran has asked American citizens to leave Iran immediately.
In a "security alert" published today, Friday, the embassy urged US citizens to "leave Iran now" and prepare exit plans that do not rely on the assistance of the US government. The statement warned American citizens in Iran of the risks of "continued strict security measures, road closures, disruption of public transport, internet censorship and the Iranian government's continued restriction of access to national mobile, fixed-line and internet networks, and the reduction or cancellation of airline 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 Turkey".
