Trump Tells Americans To Leave ASAP
The Trump administration is urging all U.S. citizens currently in Iran to leave the country immediately, warning that growing unrest and aggressive government crackdowns have created a rapidly deteriorating security situation.
In an emergency security alert released by the U.S. government’s virtual embassy for Iran, Americans were advised to “depart Iran now” and to prepare exit plans without relying on U.S. government assistance, citing severe limitations on diplomatic support inside the country.
🔒 Widespread Unrest and Communications Shutdowns
According to the alert, anti-government protests are expanding nationwide and have increasingly turned violent. Iranian authorities have responded with sweeping security measures, including arrests, road closures, and heavy police and military presence in major cities.
Officials also warned that Iran’s government has restricted access to mobile phones, landlines, and national internet networks, making it difficult for residents and foreign nationals to communicate or seek help. Public transportation disruptions and travel restrictions are also being reported across multiple regions.
💰 Trump Announces Economic Penalties Over Crackdown
As tensions rise, Donald Trump announced a strong economic response aimed at pressuring Tehran to halt its violent suppression of protesters.
On Monday, Trump stated that the United States will impose a 25 percent tariff on any country that continues doing business with Iran, calling the policy immediate and non-negotiable.
Trump said on Truth Social that the policy would take effect immediately, imposing a 25 percent tariff on any nation that continues commercial ties with Iran when trading with the United States.
📊 Reports of Deaths and Mass Detentions
Human rights organizations say the situation inside Iran has worsened significantly in recent weeks. Activists estimate that more than 500 people have been killed during clashes tied to the protests, while over 10,600 individuals have been detained, according to the Human Rights Activists News Agency.
While the Iranian government has disputed those figures, independent reporting has been difficult due to widespread censorship and internet shutdowns.
⚠️ Iran Signals Readiness for Conflict
Iranian officials have struck a defiant tone amid mounting international pressure. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Monday that Iran is prepared for war, as reports indicate President Trump is reviewing possible military options focused on deterring further violence and protecting civilians.
🇺🇸 U.S. Officials Stress Immediate Departure
With communications restricted, protests spreading, and the risk of escalation growing, U.S. officials continue to emphasize that American citizens face serious and unpredictable danger inside Iran.
The State Department urges any remaining U.S. nationals to leave the country as soon as safely possible and to closely monitor official government alerts for further updates.
