Iran

Military strikes have occurred in Iran, including in Tehran and other major cities. There’s a risk of ongoing reprisal attacks and escalation across the region. Local security situations could deteriorate.

Australian citizens, permanent residents and their immediate family members in Iran can register on DFAT’s registration portal to receive direct updates from DFAT. See the Safety overview section for details on how to register. Keep your registration details up to date so we can contact you with important information.

We continue to advise do not travel to Iran and leave Iran as soon as possible, if it’s safe to do so. Prioritise your safety, monitor events and follow local advice. There have been airspace closures and flight restrictions. Be prepared to shelter in place for an extended period. Make sure you have supplies of water, food and medication.

The security situation in Iran is extremely volatile. See our general advice on protecting your safety during an armed conflict. Australians, including dual nationals, are at a high risk of being detained.

The Australian Embassy’s operations are suspended. Our ability to provide consular assistance in Iran is extremely limited.

If you need emergency consular assistance, contact the Australian Government’s Consular Emergency Centre on +61 2 6261 3305 (if you’re overseas) or 1300 555 135 (in Australia).

We continue to advise:

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