We continue to advise do not travel to Iran. There’s an ongoing risk of military conflict involving air and missile strikes against targets in Iran. This could continue to escalate rapidly and without notice. Demonstrations and protest activity may also occur, and local security situations could deteriorate with little notice. Avoid all demonstrations and protests (see ‘Safety’).
If you’re an Australian citizen or permanent resident in Iran, you can now register on the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade’s crisis registration portal. See the ‘Safety’ section for details on how to register. We will communicate directly with registered Australians with important updates.
Terrorist attacks could happen anywhere in Iran, including Tehran or other locations frequented by foreigners and tourists. They could occur anytime without warning. Australians, including dual nationals, should strongly consider leaving Iran as soon as possible. Foreigners, including Australians, are at a high risk of arbitrary detention or arrest. Foreign and dual nationals, including Australians, have been detained without due process of law. Kidnapping for ransom is a risk in Iran (see ‘Safety’).
If you need emergency consular assistance, contact the Australian Government’s Consular Emergency Centre on +61 2 6261 3305 (if you’re overseas) and 1300 555 135 (in Australia).
We continue to advise:
Do not travel to Iran due to the volatile regional security situation and the risk of arbitrary detention.
