U.S.–Iran relations have reached a critical point as Washington urges its citizens to leave Iran immediately amid rising security concerns. Increased restrictions, flight cancellations, and upcoming nuclear talks have fueled fears of a potential conflict.
Rising tensions trigger urgent travel advisory
New Delhi: Relations between the United States and Iran appear to be deteriorating rapidly, raising fears of a potential military confrontation. On Friday, February 6, the U.S. Embassy issued an urgent advisory for American citizens currently in Iran, asking them to leave the country immediately. The warning comes amid worsening security conditions and growing uncertainty across the region.
According to the advisory, Iran is tightening security in several areas, blocking roads, and moving towards restricting air travel. These developments have heightened concerns that the situation could spiral into a direct conflict between the two long-standing rivals.
The U.S. Embassy strongly advised its citizens to depart Iran without delay using any possible means—by road, air, or sea. It warned that international airlines are increasingly limiting flights to and from Iran, with several services already cancelled. As flight options shrink, Americans have been asked to act swiftly before travel becomes even more difficult.

In a striking note, the advisory also cautioned U.S. nationals not to expect assistance from the American government during their departure. Citizens were told to make independent arrangements and leave as soon as possible, underlining the seriousness of the situation.
Inside Iran, authorities have reportedly increased security measures across multiple locations. Road closures, enhanced checks, and the possibility of further travel restrictions have contributed to an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty. These steps, combined with the embassy warning, have intensified speculation about the possibility of armed conflict between the two nations.

Observers note that such advisories are typically issued only when diplomatic and security risks reach a critical level.
Adding another layer of significance, the advisory comes just ahead of scheduled nuclear discussions between the U.S. and Iran. Talks are set to take place in Oman, with the primary focus on Iran’s nuclear program. According to reports, the White House has stated that President Donald Trump’s team is pursuing diplomacy with the aim of imposing a complete halt on Iran’s nuclear activities.

These talks are being seen as crucial, especially at a time when tensions are already running high.
Iran’s Foreign Minister arrived in Oman late Thursday to prepare for the discussions. On the U.S. side, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff is expected to represent Washington. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that senior officials, including Witkoff and Jared Kushner, would be involved in the diplomatic engagement.
Whether the talks will help defuse tensions or fail amid escalating pressure remains uncertain.
