Iran
The US has no diplomatic relations with Iran and maintains a Level 4 Do Not Travel advisory. The threat environment remains extremely high due to military escalation, airspace closures, and political instability. Do not travel to Iran. If you are there and choose to leave, verify flights directly with airlines, keep travel documents and charged phone ready, shelter in place if necessary, and contact the Swiss Embassy (US interests section) in Tehran.
The US has escalated its military campaign in southern Iran, targeting transport infrastructure and threatening further strikes in the region. The Strait of Hormuz remains closed to maritime traffic, and maritime insurance has become prohibitively expensive for the few vessels attempting transit. Multiple airlines have suspended flights to Iran entirely, and any remaining flights are experiencing severe delays due to rerouting. Do not travel to Iran; if already there, verify flight status with airlines directly, keep travel documents and a charged phone ready, shelter in place if necessary, and monitor Embassy messages and official news closely.
