Two more countries added to list Brits shouldn't travel to in new warnings

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office has issued fresh travel guidance following hostilities between Israel and Iran, and it says visiting certain nations could invalidate your travel insurance Two more countries have been added to the list of place Brits should avoid, the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCDO) says. Brits are warned not to travel to Jordan and Israel amid the latter's conflict with Iran, which saw Iran fight back on the weekend. Brits already in these countries should follow local authorities' advice, the FCDO stressed. ‌ With reference to Jordan, it added: "Ongoing hostilities in the region and between Israel and Iran could escalate quickly and pose security risks for the wider region. There are reports of military debris falling in various locations. ‌ "Travel disruption, including flight cancellations and airspace closures may occur. Demonstrations and protest activity may take place. Jordanian airspace is open but airports and airspace may close at short notice." Donald Trump said he believes Iran would be "foolish" not to sign the deal he will be offering them in an attempt to ease tensions. If it is rejected, it is feared Iran could begin producing nuclear weapons. Due to this, the FCDO says Brits should not travel to Israel too. Airspace there has been closed since the violence ramped up on Friday morning. The FCDO continued: "Following Israeli strikes against targets in Iran, Iran has launched multiple rounds of missile and drone attacks against Israel. On 13 June, a nationwide state of emergency was declared in Israel. Israeli airspace remains closed and Ben Gurion Airport is currently closed. No travel can be guaranteed safe." Ignoring any advice from the FCDO may invalidate your travel insurance, the agency added. Those planning trips to Jordan or Israel should monitor local and international media for the latest information, and be vigilant and follow the instructions of local authorities. The FCDO's new advice comes amid the fast-moving situation which poses significant risks as it could deteriorate further, quickly and without warning. Mr Trump acknowledged this late on Monday UK time (6.30pm in Washington). The US President posted on Truth Social: "Iran should have signed the 'deal' I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran." The Israeli Air Force yesterday sent fighter jets over central Iran on the fourth day of its military operation to strip away Iran's capacity to produce nuclear weapons. Among the targets hit by Israel was a building used by Iran's state TV - and the attack was caught live on air. Israeli officials put the death toll from Iran's overnight strikes at eight people after the Islamic Republic punctured Israel's Iron Dome defence system, hitting targets in Tel Aviv and Haifa. In total, 24 Israeli civilians have died as a result of Iranian strikes. Meanwhile, in Iran, the country's health ministry reported that the death toll has climbed to 224 people in the 72 hours since the war began.

Trump urges immediate evacuation of Tehran

President Trump on Monday warned that those in Tehran should 'immediately evacuate' as he lamented Iran's decision not to sign an agreement with the United States limiting its nuclear program. 'Iran should have signed the 'deal' I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life,' Trump posted on Truth Social. 'Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!' Trump's warnings echo those earlier in the day from Israeli officials, who urged hundreds of thousands of people in the Iranian capital to evacuate ahead of strikes in its escalating military campaign against Iran. Israel and Iran exchanged strikes for the fourth consecutive day conflict broke out last week when Israeli missile strikes targeted Iranian nuclear facilities and killed multiple top military leaders. Trump has been peppered with questions in the days since about potential U.S. involvement in the conflict. While the Trump administration said Israel's initial strikes were a unilateral action, the U.S. assisted Israel in intercepting retaliatory strikes from Iran last Friday. Trump sidestepped a question earlier Monday on what it would take for the U.S. military to get involved. 'I don't want to talk about that,' he told reporters on his first day of the Group of Seven (G7) summit in Alberta.

Iran says Israeli attacks ‘deal a blow' to nuclear diplomacy

JERUSALEM: Iran's Foreign Minister and chief nuclear negotiator Abbas Araghchi said Israel's strikes against his country 'deal a blow' to diplomacy during a call Monday with his French, British, and German counterparts. 'The Israeli aggression against Iran in the midst of nuclear negotiations with the United States is a blow to diplomacy,' Abbas Araghchi said during a call reported by his ministry with French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot, the United Kingdom's David Lammy, Germany's Johann Wadephul, and the European Union's head of foreign affairs Kaja Kallas. Iranian nuclear site: 'No indication' of attack on underground section: IAEA These three countries and the EU, along with China and Russia, signed a nuclear deal with Iran in 2015, but the United States later unilaterally withdrew.
