The State Department issued a warning on Monday urging U.S. citizens to avoid traveling to Iran, which has made the detention of American a priority.
The latest travel advisory, which emphasizes Irans desire to capture U.S. citizens, comes on the heels of a growing scandal over the Obama administrations decision to pay Iran $400 million in cash on the same day that it freed several U.S. hostages.
The payment has been cast by lawmakers and others as a ransom payment and prompted increasing concern among U.S. officials that Iran is making arresting Americans a priority.
The travel warning is mean to highlight the risk of arrest and detention of U.S. citizens, particularly dual national Iranian-Americans, according to a State Department announcement on Monday. Foreigners, in particular dual nationals of Iran and Western countries including the United States, continue to be detained or prevented from leaving Iran.
U.S. citizens traveling to Iran should very carefully weigh the risks of travel and consider postponing their travel, the warning adds. U.S. citizens residing in Iran should closely follow media reports, monitor local conditions, and evaluate the risks of remaining in the country.

Gosh, I WONDER who is responsible for THIS, huh...?
How smart does a monkey wrench have to be when you toss it into the gears? Destruction doesn't take much. Implementing liberal ideas will do that.
Obama would lose a game of tic tac toe with a chicken.
Obama is an idiot. All you have to do is look at his personal finances before he became a US Senator from Illinois. He couldn't even manage his own money because he's JUST. THAT. STUPID.
Does this mean Paying Tribute to Islam is a bad idea? Has anyone told the President?
Where shall I go on my next vacation?
Iran?
Yemen?
It’s a tough call.
I’ve been saying that all along...He is accomplishing just what he set out to do...
Destroy America....
The stupid - it burns.
Then of course, you know, I think you’re brilliant! : )
He is “smart” enough to have his muslim buddy Valeri Jarrett do the heavy lifting, so he can go play golf!
I suggest that John Kerry should fly to Iran right now and straighten this out!
LMFAO
LOL...GMTA....
*** “I cant imagine traveling to Iran any time soon, if at all” ***
Wasn’t too bad before Carter effed it up ... wasn’t good either but you could leave with your head still attached to your neck (could lose your little head though, long story... know the parties involved... it was gross in a couple different ways)
Of course, because it's been so profitable for them in the past. Go ahead Kerry/Obama...keep rewarding terrorists for their bad behavior, and you'll continue to be the laughing stock of the world.
negrodomus.... stuck it up our assagain
thank you john f’n kerry and zero...you guys are traiotors incompetent and useless
Golly gee, Barry. Why are they doing that?
Oh, I know. Because you are a dumb$hit for paying the $400 million plus God knows what else.
Note to self: cancel all trips out of my backyard!!! nOn the plus side, Clown Prince nobama has the record for largest extortion payment to terrorists. What a guy!
Yep.
I will add this to my deaktop file labelled: “No Sh!t, Sherlock”.
Concur. I did a 6-week TDY to the Embassy in 1975. Spent a lot of time at the Marine House on the compound. Off the compound, it was OK. There were a few good restaurants. Don’t think I’d want to go back there or anywhere in Southwest or Central Asia these days.
