U.S. asks American citizens to ‘leave Iran now’ ahead of high-stakes talks with Tehran
The U.S. warns of risks including civil unrest, arbitrary detention, and limited consular support, urging Americans to leave Iran immediately amid escalating tensions and upcoming nuclear talks.
- The U.S. Virtual Embassy in Tehran issued a February 6, 2026 alert urging American citizens in Iran that `US citizens should depart Iran immediately`.
- Amid nationwide protests last month, Tehran's brutal crackdown killed at least 6,883 people, prompting a U.S. Navy buildup in the Gulf described by President Donald Trump as a growing `armada`, raising tensions.
- The advisory recommended U.S. citizens in Iran plan independent departures via Armenia or Turkiye crossings, stock essentials, avoid demonstrations, and expect continued internet outages.
- With no U.S. embassy in Tehran, Americans face significant risk of detention and limited emergency aid, as the Swiss government offers only restricted consular services.
- Washington wants Oman talks on Friday to address Iran's nuclear programme, ballistic missiles, and regional support, while Iran offered handing over 400 kg of highly enriched uranium.
