U.S. asks American citizens to ‘leave Iran now’ ahead of high-stakes talks with Tehran

The U.S. State Department warns of heightened risks including detention and transport disruptions, urging Americans to leave Iran before nuclear talks in Oman, citing ongoing unrest.

  • On February 6, 2026 the U.S. Virtual Embassy in Tehran urged American citizens to `leave Iran now` ahead of U.S.-Iran talks scheduled in Oman on Friday.

  • Hours before the talks in Oman on Friday, Iran's state TV reported deployment of a Khorramshahr 4 missile amid agenda disputes and threats of military escalation.
