ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has advised its citizens to avoid all unnecessary travel to Iran until the security situation improves, according to a travel advisory issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Saturday.
The advisory stated that the decision was made in light of the prevailing security conditions, urging Pakistani nationals to prioritize their safety and security.
Pakistanis currently residing in Iran have been asked to exercise extreme caution, remain vigilant and limit non-essential movement. The advisory also urged them to stay in regular contact with Pakistani diplomatic missions in the country.
The Foreign Office shared the contact details of the Embassy of Pakistan in Tehran and its consular offices in Zahidan and Mashhad to facilitate its citizens in case of emergencies.
The advisory said Pakistani missions in Iran remain available to provide assistance and support to nationals as required.
Citizens were advised to closely follow official updates and comply with local laws and security guidelines while in Iran.
Protests in Iran
The advisory comes after reports of countrywide protests in the neighboring country, with authorities blocking the internet as part of a crackdown that has left dozens dead.
On Friday, US President Donald Trump said it looked like Iran's leaders were “in big trouble” and repeated an earlier threat of military strikes if peaceful protesters are killed.
“It looks to me that the people are taking over certain cities that nobody thought were really possible just a few weeks ago,” Trump said.
