The State Department issued an urgent warning Friday ordering all Americans currently in Iran to leave the country immediately by land, as military tensions in the Middle East reach dangerous new heights under the Trump administration's America First foreign policy.
The unprecedented advisory specifically instructs U.S. citizens to avoid air travel and instead seek overland routes to safety, suggesting the administration may be preparing for imminent military action that could shut down Iranian airspace or trigger broader regional conflict.
This dramatic escalation comes as President Trump's second-term foreign policy team, led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, takes a hardline stance against Iran's nuclear ambitions and regional terror operations.
Trump's Iran Strategy Takes Shape
Unlike the weak-kneed Obama administration that literally shipped pallets of cash to the Iranian regime, or Biden's disastrous appeasement policies, Trump 2.0 is clearly preparing to deal with Iran from a position of strength.
The specific instruction to leave "by land" rather than commercial flights indicates U.S. military planners may be concerned about Iranian air defenses or potential closure of airspace in the coming days or weeks.
"This administration won't repeat the mistakes of the past by letting Iran run wild while Americans are held hostage to their terror tactics," a senior State Department official told reporters.
The warning comes as Iran continues developing nuclear weapons capabilities and funding terrorist proxies across the region, including Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthi rebels who have been attacking commercial shipping.
America First Foreign Policy In Action
Patriots should recognize this for what it is: decisive leadership that puts American lives first, unlike previous administrations that left Americans stranded in hostile territory.
The Trump-Rubio State Department is clearly taking no chances with American lives as they prepare what many expect will be a comprehensive strategy to finally neutralize Iran's nuclear program and regional terror network.
How long will it take for the mainstream media to criticize Trump for being "too aggressive" in protecting American citizens abroad?
