Canada updates travel advisory to 'avoid non-essential travel' to Iran cdnpoli
Canada’s travel advice and advisories service, part of Transport Canada, upped Iran’s risk level Wednesday, warning of the “regional threat of terrorism and the risk of arbitrary detention.”
“Avoid all travel to the area within 10 km of the border with Iraq, due to ongoing conflict in that country and cross-border ethnic conflicts.” This means there are “identifiable safety and security concerns or the safety and security situation could change with little notice,” according to the government of Canada. It recommends monitoring local media and following the instructions of local authorities.
