A: Hey there! Got a minute?
B: Sure, what's up?
A: So, I just heard something interesting about Japan and Iran... Wanna know?
B: Yeah, go ahead!
A: Well, the Japanese government has asked all its citizens in Iran to leave because they raised their travel warning to the highest level.
B: Wow, that sounds serious! Why is that?
A: Apparently, it's due to the ongoing conflict with Israel. The ministry had already advised against traveling to most parts of Iran, but now they've upgraded it to a "leave immediately" warning for everywhere in Iran.
B: That must be tough for the Japanese citizens there... How many are there?
A: About 300, according to the officials. They're urging them to get out of Iran as soon as possible or take necessary safety measures if they can't leave.
B: The Japanese government is also preparing ways to help those people evacuate from both Iran and Israel. They're even considering working with other countries on this.
B: That sounds like a lot of work, but I guess it's better to be safe than sorry! Thanks for telling me about this!
A: No problem, glad I could share! Let's hope everything gets sorted out soon and everyone stays safe.

Japan's Foreign Ministry has raised the level of its travel warning for all parts of Iran to the highest, urging Japanese nationals there to evacuate.
The ministry on Tuesday upgraded the warning from level 3 to level 4, the highest on the scale of 1 to 4.
The ministry had earlier issued a level 3 avoid-all-travel warning for most parts of Iran, including the capital Tehran, following the start of Israel's attacks on the country. But the highest travel alert had been limited to some border areas.
Officials say about 300 Japanese citizens are currently in Iran.
The ministry calls on them to swiftly flee out of Iran or take sufficient safety steps if they have no other choice but to stay within the country.
Japanese Foreign Minister Iwaya Takeshi told reporters that the government is also making arrangements for means to evacuate people from Iran and Israel, and that it is considering cooperation with third countries. He added that Tokyo will make appropriate decisions depending on the situation.
