Current situation Iran

[mikail]

Thank you for your anser, bwv812. Obviously their safety concerns me a lot but as this is a travelling forum, I'm asking about that part alone. My route is long and Iran is a country difficult to bypass so if the situation remains tense, I will most likely travel through it without paying them a visit. No worries.

Fellow travellers,

I don't know if any of you is currently in Iran or has any confirmed information about the current state od things (beginning of October 2024, Israel-Iran conflict intensifying) but I would welcome all information regarding safety of visiting these days! I'm supposed to travel through Iran by hitchhiking and visit my friends in northern Iran. They are caring people with no independent traveling experience so I take their advice against visiting now as a sign of protectiveness rather than realistic assessment of the possible dangers...
So I'm asking you - any information on people travelling through iran independently right now? The prospect of a full-scale invasion on Iran seems unlikely but knowing Iranian law inforcement, other types of difficulties may arise. Context: I am a university student holding a European Union passport and have no ties to any country in the region. I've already been to Iran in 2019 and had no issues whatsoever.

Please, share your info and have safe travels!

Wait with your journey. At least wait to the end of US election. In general situations is very tense. Being in Iran when the war starts is the last thing you want. All exit routes for you probably will be closed. If you have a plane ticket, try to postpone it. Turn off the news, so you wont be in constant tension about what is happening there.

JUst watch local news in Iran or Aljazeera, and you will live in an other universe . . .

How is the situation at the moment. And do you think it will matter if you are a girl or a boy traveling Iran?
