Iran Travel Advisory
Multiple governments strongly advise against all travel to Iran due to a volatile security situation, the risk of terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping, and arbitrary detention. Dual nationals, particularly those with Western ties, face a high risk of arrest and detention. The region's unpredictable nature and potential for escalation pose significant threats to travellers.

Ethiopia Travel Advisory
There is a high risk of armed conflict, civil unrest, terrorism, and kidnapping throughout Ethiopia, particularly in border regions and specific zones within the Oromia and Amhara regions. Communications disruptions, fuel shortages, and dangerous road conditions further exacerbate the risks for travelers. The security situation can deteriorate rapidly and without warning, and consular assistance may be limited in certain areas.
Uganda

Uganda Travel Advisory
The U.S. Department of State advises U.S. citizens not to travel to Uganda due to crime, health risks including the Ebola disease outbreak, terrorism, and unrest. The U.S. Embassy has limited official travel to western Uganda, and border crossings with the Democratic Republic of Congo are closed except for essential traffic. Travelers entering Uganda from the DRC must self-quarantine for 21 days. There is a threat of terrorist attacks, and violent crime such as armed robbery and sexual assault is a danger.

Democratic Republic of the Congo Travel Advisory
The Democratic Republic of the Congo DRC is experiencing a high level of risk due to widespread crime, civil unrest, terrorism, kidnapping, and health concerns, including an Ebola outbreak. Armed groups and military forces are frequently clashing, with civilians often targeted. Violent crime is common in many provinces, and the U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to its citizens in certain regions. Travel to eastern DRC, including North and South Kivu provinces and Ituri province, is particularly dangerous.
