U.S. Embassy In Iran Warn Americans To LEAVE NOW

Go to Article

The U.S. Embassy in Iran has warned American travelers in Iran to leave the country immediately.

The warning came a day before top U.S. military officials and diplomats were scheduled to meet with Iranian officials in Oman.

Currently, the United States Navy has built an armada in the waters around Iran.

The armada includes the U.S.S. Lincoln, which is the U.S. Navy’s most powerful nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

USA Today reported more details on the U.S. Embassy’s warning to American citizens in Iran:

The State Department told American citizens to “leave Iran now” on Feb. 6, as negotiators for both countries met in Oman amid President Donald Trump’s recent threats of military action.

“U.S. citizens should expect continued internet outages, plan alternative means of communication, and, if safe to do so, consider departing Iran by land” to either Armenia or Turkey, according to the Feb. 6 notice.

“Leave Iran now. Have a plan for departing Iran that does not rely on U.S. government help,” the notice warned.

It comes as talks between Iran and the Trump administration kicked off in the Persian Gulf emirate of Oman – the first discussion between the two sides since the United States bombed three Iranian nuclear facilities in June.

Steve Witkoff, Trump’s envoy, and Jared Kushner, his son-in-law, met with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, who called the meeting a “good start” and said the talks would continue, according to Reuters.

Trump said the June airstrikes had “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear ambitions, but the administration now says that it wants Iran to entirely freeze its nuclear program and get rid of any remaining enriched uranium it holds. Iran claims its nuclear program is not aimed at building a nuclear weapon.

An Iranian drone was shot down by the U.S. military earlier in the week after the drone reportedly hovered around the airspace above the U.S.S. Lincoln.

As of Friday morning, the U.S. has imposed further sanctions on Iran.
