As tensions in the Middle East rise and the situation remains unclear, 11 countries have issued updated and in some cases severe travel advisories regarding Iran, citing rising security concerns and the potential for rapid escalation.

The countries taking action are the United States, Germany, Finland, Australia, Brazil, Poland, Sweden, India, Cyprus, Singapore, and Serbia, with Canada being the latest to join.

Several of these governments have gone beyond standard “exercise caution” advisories, formally recommending that citizens avoid all travel to Iran. In some cases, nationals currently in the country have been advised to depart immediately while commercial routes remain available. Officials in multiple capitals reportedly emphasized that those who choose to remain in high-risk areas may face limited or no consular assistance should conditions deteriorate further. Diplomats are closely monitoring developments that could impact regional security, aviation routes, and global markets.

While no formal evacuation orders have been announced on a large scale, the messaging from foreign ministries signals that contingency planning is already underway.
