Global powers are sounding the alarm as Middle East flashpoints simmer. China and Canada have demanded their citizens flee Iran immediately, driven by deadlock in U.S.-Iran discussions and whispers of impending military action.
From Beijing, the call is clear and urgent. The Foreign Ministry declared external dangers ‘severely heightened’ due to strike risks from the U.S. Chinese missions in Iran are pressing all nationals to exit at once, with comprehensive safety guidelines in place to guide their withdrawal.
Canada’s advisory cuts straight to the chase: regional strains make Iran untenable. ‘Sudden conflict remains a real possibility,’ it cautions, directing citizens to prioritize evacuation, verify documents, and prepare for contingencies during travel.
A chorus of allies—including Poland, Sweden, and India—has joined in, advising their people to vacate amid rising perils.
The ripple effects reach Israel too. A U.S. Embassy notice Friday barred officials from Jerusalem hotspots, citing terror risks and brewing disorder. These advisories paint a picture of a region on the brink, where stalled talks amplify the urgency for protective measures and rapid relocations.
