Officials tell Americans in one country to ‘leave now’ due to major safety concerns

The U.S. Embassy has issued an urgent “leave Iran now” security alert for Americans as internet outages and travel disruptions continue across the country.

The embassy warned that Americans there should expect continued internet outages. It advises citizens to plan alternative means of communication and to depart by land to Armenia or Turkey.

The Armenian land border at Agarak/Norduz and Turkish land border crossings with Iran are open (Gürbulak/Bazargan, Kapıköy/Razi and Esendere/Serow). Turkmenistan’s land borders are also open.
