The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office on Friday advised British citizens to refrain from any kind of trips to Iran amid the escalated tensions in the Middle East, APA reports citing Sputnik.
"The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) advise against all travel to Iran. Additionally, the FCO advise against all air travel to, from and within Iran. If you’re in Iran, you should review your departure options and consider leaving the country", the Foreign Office said in a renewed foreign travel alert.
The ministry stressed that there was uncertainty around the Ukrainian International Airlines’ plane crash near Tehran.
"If you decide to travel by air against FCO advice, contact your airline or travel company for the latest information before travelling. Flight schedules may be subject to cancellation at short notice. There are alternative land and sea-based routes to leave Iran", the Foreign Office added.
