“The U.S. State Department and Virtual Embassy Tehran issued a sweeping warning to American citizens in Iran to “leave now,” citing a surge in nationwide protests, violence and internet blackout. The advisory came Monday as Iran entered its third week of anti-government demonstrations, with hundreds killed and thousands detained, according to rights groups and news reports.”

Way too late to avoid being a revolutionary participant.
WTF are you doing in Iran as a US citizen to begin with? I promise you, anywhere else is better. WTF is with this obvious warning. Are we that stupid that we need to be told this?
I think that is just about right. President Trump is reviewing the options right now and will decide on one by tomorrow morning. I expect Wednesday night will be interesting.
I predict SHTF within 48 hours……..
Send lawyers, guns and money!
I thought the same thing.
I even read on another website that some have been told they will have to have to find their own way out…..probably intelligence agents.
Mehrabad Airport is probably a chaotic zoo right now.
Send Ben Affleck to rescue them.
Foreign diplomats are leaving Iran. French out already. Telling American citizens to get out gives Trump an excuse if they don’t and something happens to them
It’s a race. The Mullahs have the guns so can something be done to counter that fact before the rebellion is crushed again.
If even that.
Or Ross Perot.
Sadly.
I loved that movie.
I predict SHTF within 48 hours……..
They’d better get their ass back to.....Sunset Boulevard!
This warning seems a little lat
Well, if one was foolish enough to be there, they probably need to be told.
I’m trying to figure out how the message would get to them, since the Internet and apparently most phone traffic is shut down.
I think it’s basically a legal requirement to warn people to stay out, before striking.
Also, it lets the Iranians know to stay away from anything that could be a military target, so it protects them as well.
If doesn’t look like the mullahs will stay in power
