Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry has urged Ukrainian citizens to leave the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran amid a sharp deterioration in the country’s security situation.
This was stated in a message from the ministry.
"Due to the worsening security situation in the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommends that Ukrainian citizens leave the territory of Iran," the ministry said in the statement.
Currently, leaving Iran is possible via several routes: through Imam Khomeini International Airport in Tehran, as well as overland checkpoints on the borders with Armenia (Norduz/Agarak) and Türkiye (Bazorgan/Serow).
Ukrainians are being urged to follow local authorities’ instructions, avoid confrontations with law enforcement, and remain calm.
