The U.S. Virtual Embassy in Iran is urging Americans to exit the Middle Eastern nation due to ongoing regional conflicts following a limited reopening of its airspace.

This comes after a ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel to end the nearly two-week conflict.

“As of June 26, 2025, Iran’s airspace is partially reopened, but business travel from Tehran and other major cities might face disruptions,” the embassy stated in an advisory. “US citizens should monitor local media and check with commercial airlines for updated information on flights departing from Iran.”

American citizens wishing to leave Iran should travel by land to Azerbaijan, Armenia, Turkey, or Turkmenistan, provided it is safe to do so, according to the embassy.

Americans who cannot leave Iran are advised to find a safe place in their residence or another safe building and to carry food, water, medicine and other essential items with them.

At certain intervals, the Iranian government has limited access to the mobile internet network and physical phone lines, the embassy said, adding that U.S. citizens should be prepared for internet network outages and develop alternative network connectivity and communication plans.

“American-Iranian dual citizens must leave Iran with an Iranian passport and before leaving Iran, they must be ready to face checkpoints and be interrogated by Iranian authorities,” the embassy said. “The state of the Iranian government Dual citizenship does not recognize and will treat American-Iranian dual citizens only as Iranian citizens. US nationals in Iran are at significant risk of interrogation, arrest, and detention. Showing a US passport or proving a connection with the United States is sufficient reason for the arrest of a person by the Iranian authorities.”

“US passports may be confiscated in Iran,” it continued. “American-Iranian dual citizens should consider that in their Iranian passport, they will receive the necessary visas for the countries they will pass through on their return trip to the United States, so that in case of confiscation of their American passport, they can use [their] Iranian passport in Iran. These people can then apply for a new US passport in the country they will pass through.”

U.S. citizens who reside in Iran with a permanent residence visa, regardless of how long they are staying, must obtain an exit permit when departing Iran, the embassy said, noting that all Iranian passport holders are required to pay exit fees.
