Kanal13Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Thursday called on Polish citizens in Iran to leave immediately, warning that evacuation might soon no longer be possible amid rising US-Iran tensions. “Please leave Iran immediately and under no circumstances travel to that country,” Prime Minister Donald Tusk said. He clarified to journalists that he did not wish to “create panic,” but stressed that the risk of an active military confrontation in the country was “highly realistic.” Tusk further warned that within just a few hours, evacuation efforts might become impossible.
Tusk stressed that previous evacuation warnings had been ignored in the past, with serious consequences. “We have bad experiences. Some people underestimate such appeals,” the Polish Prime Minister said. Urging the public to take his message seriously, he emphasized that if open hostilities break out, there would be no assurances that Polish citizens could be safely evacuated. The warning came as security conditions have worsened in the region due to Tehran- Washington tensions.
Tensions intensified in recent days, with top US officials repeatedly cautioning that military action against Iran remains a possibility. Tehran, in turn, has warned that any attack would prompt retaliatory strikes on American military bases across the region. US media reported on Wednesday that the Pentagon had begun temporarily transferring certain staff from the Middle East to Europe and the United States due to rising concerns about a possible American strike on Iran and the threat of retaliatory action by Tehran.
