Is an attack imminent? – Ministry: Austrians must leave Iran

Date:

The Austrian Foreign Ministry is now calling on citizens to leave Iran. The conflict with Israel threatens to escalate.

On Friday evening, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs raised the travel warning level for Iran to level six, directly asking all citizens to leave the country: “Especially in the coming days, an increased risk can be assumed due to the current tense situation in the region. . Austrians staying here are urged to exercise special caution.”

A spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Friday evening that a travel warning has been in effect for the country for some time. What is new is the reference to the increased risk as a result of the current tense situation.

AUA suspends flights
Despite the continued travel warnings, the AUA also operated flights to Tehran. These were initially suspended on Friday until next Thursday. AUA parent company Lufthansa had previously canceled its flights to and from Tehran. In the evening, the German Foreign Ministry also announced that it was calling on nationals to leave Iran.

The background to the updated travel advice is the growing tensions between Iran and Israel. The mullahs’ regime has announced a retaliatory strike against Israel after senior Iranian commanders were killed at the Iranian embassy in Damascus. According to media reports, the retaliatory strike is imminent. The US military has therefore increased its troop presence in the region, and US President Joe Biden has urgently warned Iran not to attack Israel.
