Tehran: Germany’s Embassy in Tehran renewed its call on Friday for German citizens to leave Iran amid growing risks of escalation in the region. The embassy warned that travel to Iran is discouraged and that German citizens are urged to leave.

According to Anadolu Agency, the security situation in Iran and the entire region is extremely volatile and very tense. The embassy emphasized that further escalation and military clashes cannot be ruled out. There is also the possibility of further restrictions on air traffic, including flight cancellations and airspace closures, which may occur at any time.

The statement warned that the German Embassy in Tehran is currently “only able to provide limited consular assistance on site.” This limitation could pose additional challenges for German citizens seeking assistance during emergencies.

The renewed call came after US President Donald Trump stated earlier on Friday that he was “considering” a limited military strike to pressure Iran into a deal, without providing
further details. This development is part of the broader context of the US ramping up its military presence in the region, contributing to the heightened tensions.
