The Kabul Tribune (KT) — Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has urged Polish citizens in Iran to leave the country immediately, warning that evacuation options could become unavailable within hours.
Sky News reported Thursday, Feb. 19, 2026, that the Polish government issued the advisory due to concerns over deteriorating security conditions in Iran.
The warning comes amid international media reports of potential U.S. military preparations targeting Iran. Networks including CBS News and CNN have reported that the U.S. military is on heightened alert and may be ready to conduct operations as early as the coming weekend.
Reuters previously cited U.S. officials indicating that American forces had increased their readiness levels in response to rising regional tensions.
