China Urges Citizens to Leave Iran Amid Rising Tensions

China has advised its citizens to avoid traveling to Iran and urged those currently in the country to leave as soon as possible, citing security concerns amid escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran.

According to a report by the state-run Xinhua News Agency on Friday, Beijing issued the advisory in response to the evolving security situation in Iran. The warning comes as regional instability intensifies, particularly following heightened rhetoric and strategic friction between the United States and Iran.

Chinese authorities called on nationals in Iran to closely monitor official updates and make arrangements to depart at the earliest opportunity. The travel advisory underscores growing international concern over potential geopolitical developments that could affect foreign nationals in the region.

While Beijing did not provide specific details about the nature of the security risks, the announcement reflects broader diplomatic caution as tensions in the Middle East continue to rise.

China joins other countries that have recently issued similar travel warnings amid uncertainty surrounding US-Iran relations and regional security dynamics.
