In the context of the current deteriorating security situation in the Middle East caused by the escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian military conflict and its potential impact on the wider region we do not recommend making any trips to Iran.
Citizens of the Slovak Republic who are currently in Iran we recommend that you consider the need to remain in the country.
We continue to draw your attention to the possibility of demonstrations across the country in connection with the poor socio-economic situation, whether possible risk of arrest of EU nationals by the Iranian security forces.
In the country there are marches in support of Palestine and other demonstrations, and rallies of the people. Citizens of the Slovak Republic we recommend avoiding such places.
Citizens of the Slovak Republic who are in Iran are strongly warned, not to photograph military installations, or any other critical infrastructure. For photographing strategically important objects foreigners in Iran face espionage charges.
