The virtual US Embassy in Iran on Friday warned its citizens to 'leave Iran immediately' and prepare departure plans that don’t rely on US government assistance. It asked US-Iranian dual nationals to exit Iran on Iranian passports, as the Iranian government does not recognise dual nationality. "US-Iranian dual nationals must exit Iran on Iranian passports. The Iranian government does not recognize dual nationality and will treat US-Iranian dual nationals solely as Iranian citizens." In June, the United States struck Iranian nuclear targets, joining in the final stages of a 12-day Israeli bombing campaign.
