U.S. citizens who are unable to depart Iran should be prepared to shelter in place for extended periods. U.S. citizens in Iran face serious, increasing dangers due to rising regional tensions. The U.S. government does not have diplomatic or consular relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Swiss government, acting through its Embassy in Tehran, serves as the protecting power for United States interests in Iran. The Swiss Protecting Power office in Tehran is closed until further notice and is limited in its ability to assist U.S. citizens in Iran at this time.
