Australia calls on citizens to leave Iran immediately

In updated guidance issued through the government’s Smarttraveller service, authorities urged Australians to prioritize their safety, closely monitor developments and follow instructions from local officials, News.Az reports, citing Iran International.

While commercial flights are still operating, officials warned that schedules could change rapidly due to recent airspace closures and flight restrictions.

The advisory described Iran’s security environment as highly volatile and cautioned that Australians — including dual nationals — face a significant risk of detention.

Those choosing to remain in Iran were advised to avoid public gatherings and protests and to be prepared to shelter in place with adequate supplies of food, water and essential medication.
