U.S. Issues Updated Security Alert Urging Americans to Leave Iran Now Amid Persistent Restrictions
The February 5 alert outlines increased security measures, road closures, public transportation disruptions, and internet blockages across Iran.
IRAN — On February 5, 2026, the U.S. Virtual Embassy in Iran issued an updated security alert advising U.S. citizens to depart immediately due to ongoing security measures, disruptions, and restrictions.
This follows earlier alerts from January 2026, with modifications including the removal of protest references and expanded details on land border options for evacuation.
The alert emphasizes sustained internet blockages and transportation limitations, providing guidance for dual nationals and specific border crossings.
Iranian officials have responded to broader U.S. actions with statements on readiness and diplomacy, though no direct commentary on this specific alert was identified in state sources.
