Serbia is urging its citizens to leave Iran immediately, as tensions between Tehran and Washington continue to rise over Iran’s nuclear program. The Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a late-night statement advising against any travel to Iran and strongly recommending that Serbians currently in the country depart as soon as possible.
“Due to the deteriorating security situation, citizens of the Republic of Serbia are not recommended to travel to Iran,” the ministry said. “All those who are in Iran are recommended to leave the country as soon as possible.”
The warning comes amid growing fears that stalled nuclear negotiations could spiral into military confrontation. US President Donald Trump recently signaled he is considering a limited strike on Iran if talks fail, following a major US military build-up in the region.
This is not the first time Serbia has cautioned its nationals about staying in Iran. An earlier advisory was issued in January when anti-government protests and a crackdown on dissent heightened internal unrest.
Iranian officials remain hopeful for a diplomatic breakthrough, but so far, talks have yielded no concrete results. The nuclear standoff remains a major flashpoint between Iran and the West.
Serbia’s call for its citizens to exit Iran echoes similar warnings from other countries. Australia has reiterated its advice to avoid travel and urged those already in Iran to depart while commercial flights are still available, warning that airspace restrictions could soon make evacuation difficult. Poland, too, has called on its citizens to leave Iran immediately, with Prime Minister Donald Tusk stressing that conditions could deteriorate rapidly, potentially making evacuation impossible within hours.
With the situation in Iran growing more unpredictable, governments are urging their citizens to stay alert, monitor official updates, and have contingency plans in place as the regional security crisis unfolds.
