At this time, the United Kingdom has decided to close its embassy in Tehran, evacuating all staff. The United States, in turn, is reducing the number of personnel at the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, which is one of America's main military bases in the Middle East, where about 10,000 military and civilian personnel are constantly present.
Iranian authorities have announced the closure of airspace for civilian flights and warned of possible strikes on American bases in the region in the event of an attack by the U.S.
According to Reuters, a U.S. attack on Iran is expected to occur within the next 24 hours.
Earlier reports mentioned that the number of casualties from protests in Iran may exceed 12,000 people.
The U.S. State Department has recommended that its citizens and allies leave the territory of Iran. When President Donald Trump was asked about assistance for the protesters, he responded: "Sorry, but you'll have to deal with this on your own."
According to the latest data, protests are taking place in 585 locations across the country, covering 186 cities in 31 provinces, with the number of detainees exceeding tens of thousands.
It is worth noting that there has been no internet in Iran for almost a week, and authorities have also shut down mobile communications. The mass protests, which began in late December 2025, are driven by economic problems and the devaluation of the local currency.
