The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has raised the danger level for certain areas in Iran.
The regions where the level has been raised include the capital, Tehran, the city of Chabahar in Sistan and Baluchestan Province and its surrounding free trade zones, and Kerman Province, all of which are now placed at Level 3 (travel suspension advisory). Border areas with Pakistan and Iraq have already been classified as Level 4 (evacuation advisory).
This comes after Haniyeh, the head of Hamas’s political bureau, was killed in Tehran on July 31st, leading Iran to announce its retaliation against Israel. This situation has raised concerns about further escalation of conflicts.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs advises against travel for any reason and urges those who are already there to evacuate while commercial flights are still operating.
