The U.S. Virtual Embassy in Tehran has issued a warning to American citizens in Iran, advising them to prepare for departure without relying on assistance from the U.S. government. The embassy emphasized the importance of having a plan in place for leaving the country.
In the event that departure is not possible, the embassy recommended that U.S. citizens find a secure location within their residence or another safe building. They should also maintain a supply of essential items, including food, water, and medications.
Additionally, the embassy urged citizens to avoid demonstrations, keep a low profile, and remain aware of their surroundings. This advisory comes amid ongoing tensions in the region, highlighting the need for safety and preparedness among U.S. nationals abroad.
