The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has advised its citizens to evacuate from Iran, amid concerns about a potential military strike by the Donald Trump administration in the United States.
On February 27, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated via social media, "Recently, due to a significant increase in external security risks facing Iran, several countries have issued notices recommending the evacuation of their citizens," adding this as the reason for the advisory.
The ministry further emphasized, "Given the current security situation in Iran, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Chinese Embassy in Iran remind Chinese citizens not to travel to Iran for the time being, and those already in the country are urged to strengthen safety precautions and evacuate as soon as possible."
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs also announced that Chinese diplomatic missions in Iran and neighboring countries will provide necessary assistance to Chinese citizens seeking to leave via commercial flights or overland routes.
