Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has called on civilians to leave areas where United States forces are present, citing potential military operations against American personnel.
In an official statement, the IRGC said it is committed to targeting U.S. forces “wherever we find them” and strongly advised residents in affected zones to take precautions to avoid being caught in any confrontation.
The warning comes amid rising regional tensions, with concerns growing over possible escalations between Iranian and U.S. forces. Civilians have been urged to move away from military installations to ensure their safety.
Separately, Iran’s military reportedly appealed to residents across the Middle East to report alleged locations where U.S. forces might be hiding, claiming that some American personnel have left their bases and taken refuge elsewhere. Authorities emphasized that civilians’ cooperation should not compromise their own security.
Meanwhile, the U.S. government issued an advisory urging its citizens in Iran to prepare for potential emergencies. Americans were advised to maintain sufficient supplies of food, water, medications, and other essentials, and to be ready to shelter in place if departure options are limited.
The situation underscores the escalating security concerns in the region, with both governments emphasizing preparedness amid growing uncertainty.
