Hundreds of US citizens were evacuated from Iran ahead of a planned US strike on Iranian nuclear sites. While many left without incident, the State Department reported that numerous citizens faced delays and harassment, with some even detained. The evacuation highlighted the challenges of assisting US nationals in Iran, given the lack of diplomatic ties since 1979. The State Department warned US citizens against traveling to Iran and advised those leaving to use existing means of departure, providing a crisis intake form for assistance.
