Washington has warned all US citizens who are in Iran to leave “immediately” which could indicate that the US President is about to give the order to strike the country.
US citizens are being warned to leave now and the exit plan does not involve any government help.
Donald Trump sent an “armada” of warships to the Gulf which includes a large number of warships, at least one submarine and the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier which has been stationed in the region since January.
The US embassy in Tehran is advising Americans to “leave Iran now. Have a plan for departing Iran that does not rely on US government help.”
The advisory states, “Flight cancellations and disruptions are possible with little warning. Check directly with your airlines for updates.
“If you cannot leave, find a secure location within your residence or another safe building. Have a supply of food, water, medications, and other essential items.
“Avoid demonstrations, keep a low profile, and stay aware of your surroundings.”
They added, “Monitor local media for breaking news. Be prepared to adjust your plans. Keep your phone charged and maintain communication with family and friends to inform them of your status.
“Enroll in the Smart Traveller Enrolment Program (STEP) to receive the latest updates on security in Iran.”
It continued, “US nationals are at significant risk of questioning, arrest, and detention in Iran. Showing a US passport or demonstrating connections to the United States can be reason enough for Iranian authorities to detain someone.
“US citizens who do not have a valid US passport in their possession should apply for one at the nearest US embassy or consulate after departing Iran.”
