πΊπΈβ οΈ The U.S. State Department has issued an urgent warning to all American citizens and dual-nationals, especially Iranian-Americans: Do not travel to Iran under any circumstances.
Americans have been wrongfully detained and held as hostages by the Iranian government β in some cases, for years. The risk of arrest and prolonged detention has escalated, with the Iranian authorities known to target dual-nationals for political leverage.
This advisory applies to both U.S. citizens and those holding dual citizenship with Iran. Iranian-American travelers are particularly at risk due to the Iranian governmentβs refusal to recognize dual nationality.
The State Department emphasizes:
βThe threat of detention is even greater today. Do not travel to Iran.β
