The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has advised Cypriot citizens to avoid all travel to Iran due to the current internal security situation and an increased risk of wider regional escalation.
In a travel advisory issued on January 13, 2026, the ministry also urged Cypriot nationals currently in Iran to leave the country immediately, while commercial flights remain available.
