National warning: This advisory covers the whole country.
Brief summary:
Undvik alla resor - Det säkerhetspolitiska läget kan förändras plötsligt och i oförutsebar riktning. Följ myndigheternas anvisningar och nyhetsrapporteringen i medierna. Undvik stora folksamlingar och demonstrationer. Det kan också förekomma störningar i mobil- och datanätet under val och andra evenemang.
Risken för godtyckliga anhållningar av utlänningar har ökat.
I september 2022 satte en proteströrelse igång efter att en ung kvinna som anhållits av den så kallade sedlighetspolisen avled. De samhälleliga oroligheterna fortsätter. Myndigheternas beslut att begränsa tillgången till sociala medier och internet ökar osäkerheten och ovetskapen samt försvårar kontakten till omvärlden. Läget håller på att leda till nya sanktioner mot Iran och internationella ställningstaganden om de mänskliga rättigheterna och medborgarfriheten i Iran. Det är väldigt svårt att få en tillförlitlig lägesbild. Den tillspetsade situationen kan också leda till ökad utlänningsfientlighet i Iran. Det kan vara mycket svårt att få konsulär hjälp eftersom det kan ta lång tid att få information om medborgarnas situation eller att komma fram till dem. Iran erkänner inte dubbelt medborgarskap och det kan vara rentav omöjligt för ambassaden att hjälpa personer med dubbelt medborgarskap.
Danger level: 5
