UK (FCDO) travel advisory — Iran

The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has issued an "Avoid all travel" advisory for Iran at the highest severity level. This advisory applies to the entire country and remains active as of June 2026.

If you are currently in Iran, you should be aware that official travel guidance recommends against all travel to this location. This means consular assistance may be limited, and commercial options for departure could be restricted or unavailable. You should review your situation and consider your options for leaving if you are able to do so.

Follow the guidance of your own government's foreign affairs office and local authorities. Register with your embassy if you have not already done so. Monitor official channels for updates on the situation and any evacuation assistance that may become available.

This alert is based on advisories from the UK Foreign Office, US State Department, Canadian Government, German Government, and French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
