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

The US Department of State warns of risks including terrorism, arbitrary detention, and limited consular support, urging Americans to leave Iran amid ongoing unrest and ahead of nuclear talks.

  • On February 6, the U.S. Virtual Embassy in Tehran urged American citizens to `leave Iran now` amid internet outages, transport disruptions, and advised planning independent departures to Armenia or Turkiye if safe.
  • With no U.S. embassy in Iran, limited Swiss government emergency support applies, amid a deadly crackdown that has killed at least 6,883 people as of Wednesday.
  • Consider overland departures through Armenia or Turkiye; as of Thursday, the Agarak/Norduz land border is open, with U.S. citizens allowed 180 days in Armenia and 90 days in Turkiye visa-free.
  • On Friday, Iran and the U.S. will hold talks in Oman where U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner meet Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi amid missile deployment and venue disputes.
  • However, Tehran has publicly set red lines on missile talks and told Reuters last week it may hand over 400 kg of highly enriched uranium amid a U.S. naval buildup in the Gulf.
