Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Thursday called on all Polish citizens in Iran to leave the country immediately, citing a “very real” possibility of armed conflict. He warned that in the coming hours, evacuation may no longer be feasible, urging citizens not to travel to Iran under any circumstances.

This marks the second time in recent months that Poland has advised its nationals to leave the Islamic republic due to escalating tensions. The Polish government has been closely monitoring the situation and coordinating with embassies to ensure the safety of its citizens abroad.

The warnings come amid a significant buildup of US military forces near Iran, including warships, fighter jets, and refueling aircraft. Analysts say the deployment lays the groundwork for a potential sustained military campaign should US President Donald Trump authorize action against Tehran.

Tusk emphasized the urgency of immediate evacuation, highlighting the unpredictability of the situation. “The possibility of heated conflict is very real, and in a few, a dozen or several dozen hours, evacuation may no longer be an option,” he said at a press conference.

The ongoing escalation has raised global concerns, with multiple countries issuing similar travel advisories and urging citizens to leave the region. Diplomatic channels continue to be pursued, but the risk of conflict remains high.

Observers note that the combination of US military presence and political rhetoric could quickly turn a tense standoff into a broader regional crisis. Governments worldwide are closely monitoring developments as they prepare contingency plans for their citizens in Iran.
