[The Chinese Embassy in Iran Issues a Notice Regarding the Current Situation at Some Iranian Land Border Crossings] The Chinese Embassy in Iran issued a statement saying that the security situation in Iran and the surrounding region is becoming increasingly complex and severe. The Chinese Embassy in Iran once again reminds Chinese citizens in Iran to closely monitor the current situation and strengthen security precautions. It is understood that the land border crossings between Iran and Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Turkey remain open, and travelers can go there independently provided they ensure their safety. The status of the Turkmenistan border crossing is still under verification. The border crossing information is as follows: 1. Astara Border Crossing (Iran-Azerbaijan Border Crossing) Address: Astara Border Terminal Entry Requirements: Passport valid for more than 6 months; visa-free for Chinese citizens holding ordinary passports. Opening Hours: 09:00-16:00; 2. Nordooz Border Crossing (Iran-Armenia Border Crossing) Address: Nordooz Border Terminal Entry Requirements: Passport valid for more than 6 months; visa-free for Chinese citizens holding ordinary passports. Currently, border crossings are proceeding smoothly. However, due to poor road conditions caused by weather, the accommodation capacity at the border crossing is limited. Opening hours: 24 hours; III. Razi Border Crossing (Iran-Turkey border crossing) Address: Khoy-Qator-Razi Border Checkpoint Entry Requirements: Passports valid for more than 6 months; visa-free entry for Chinese citizens holding ordinary passports. If you choose to evacuate on your own, please plan your route in advance and understand the security situation along the way.
