- 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.
