US EditionU.S. asks American citizens to ‘leave Iran now’ ahead of high-stakes talks with Tehran
The U.S. Department of State urges Americans to leave Iran amid rising risks including protests, transport disruptions, and limited consular support, ahead of nuclear talks in Oman.

- Talks in Oman were moved after Tehran requested the change on Tuesday, limiting attendees to Iranian and American representatives, while officials said Tehran could hand over 400 kg of highly enriched uranium.
