"In connection with the aggression of the United States and Israel against Iran, the Embassy asks Russian citizens and compatriots residing in Iran to remain vigilant, to closely monitor official statements and recommendations from the Embassy and Iranian authorities, and to refrain from being near military and government facilities.

It is necessary to stay calm and not give in to panic, which some will attempt to sow through the media and social networks, and to refrain from taking photos or videos in any part of Iran.

The Embassy recommends that Russian citizens and compatriots refrain from visiting Iran until further notice.

We also strongly recommend that Russian citizens and compatriots currently in Iran leave the country if they have the opportunity to do so," the Russian Embassy's statement reads.
