Trump Orders Evacuation from Tehran Amid Rising Tensions
June 17, 2025 – Washington/Tehran:
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning calling for the immediate evacuation of all American citizens from Tehran, Iran’s capital, amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Speaking at a campaign rally in Florida, Trump said, “All Americans must leave Tehran now. The situation is dangerous, and we will not hesitate to act if any harm comes to our people.” Though he is not currently in office, Trump's statement has stirred international attention and concern.
This call comes just days after a suspected drone strike near a U.S. diplomatic facility in the region, further worsening the already fragile relations between Iran and the United States. U.S. State Department officials have not confirmed any official evacuation, but heightened security alerts have been issued.
Iranian officials condemned Trump’s remarks, labeling them as "provocative" and "unnecessary interference." Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson said, “Such statements only serve to inflame the situation and spread fear among civilians.”
Analysts suggest that Trump’s comments may influence U.S. foreign policy discourse as the 2024 presidential election results continue to face legal and political challenges.
Meanwhile, airlines are reviewing flight operations to and from Tehran, and several countries have advised their citizens to exercise caution or avoid travel to Iran altogether.
More updates to follow as the situation unfolds.
