The Australian Government has issued a warning for its citizens to leave Iran immediately due to escalating violent protests and severe responses from security forces. The travel advice for Iran has been updated to "Do Not Travel" (Level Red), indicating a high risk of arbitrary detention for Australians, including dual nationals.

Australians currently in Iran are advised to depart as soon as it is safe to do so. The situation in Iran has been marked by ongoing nationwide protests, prompting concerns for the safety of foreign nationals.

This advisory comes amid reports of significant unrest in the country, with various international developments occurring simultaneously. For instance, pro-Iranian militias have sent 800 forces to Iran to suppress protests, highlighting the severity of the situation.

Citizens are encouraged to stay informed about the situation and follow the guidance of local authorities and the Australian Government.
