Do not travel to Iran. If you’re in Iran, you should leave as soon as possible. There’s ongoing violent nationwide protests that may further escalate without notice. Security forces’ response to protests has been severe, and many protesters and bystanders have been injured, killed or detained. Avoid large public gatherings, demonstrations and protests and follow the advice of local authorities. Australians, including dual nationals, are at a high risk of being detained. The security situation is volatile. If you remain in Iran despite our advice, you’re responsible for your own safety. The Australian Embassy’s operations are suspended. Our ability to provide consular assistance in Iran is extremely limited.

We continue to advise:

Do not travel to Iran due to the risk of arbitrary detention and the volatile regional security situation.
