Germany Calls On Its Citizens To Flee Iran As War With Israel Looms

Germany cautioned its citizens to leave Iran, citing the likelihood of a sudden increase in Tehran’s existing tensions with Israel, as well as the possibility of arbitrary arrest in the country.

“In the current tensions, especially between Israel and Iran, there is a risk of a sudden escalation”, the Foreign Office noted in a fresh travel warning published on Friday.

“It cannot be excluded that air, land, and sea transport routes could be affected”, the Foreign Office continued.

The Foreign Office went on to say, “German citizens are at concrete risk of being arbitrarily arrested and interrogated and being given long prison sentences”.

“Dual citizens with Iranian and German nationality are especially at risk”, the Foreign Office added.
