Iranian National Security Council Advises Residents to Leave Tehran and Relocate to Other Cities as a Precaution Amid Regional Military Tensions
The Iranian National Security Council has recommended that residents of Tehran move to other cities as a precautionary measure in response to escalating military tensions in the region.
This advisory follows Israeli‑American airstrikes on Iranian sites, to which Iran retaliated with missile and drone launches, including attacks on U.S. bases in the Gulf.
- Not a forced evacuation: The guidance is framed as a safety precaution aimed at preventing potential civilian casualties.
- International advisories: Several foreign governments—Italy, India, and China—have also urged their citizens to either leave Iran or adopt heightened security measures.
Local and international authorities stress the risk of further escalation and emphasize the need for civilians to stay vigilant.
