Essential Insurance for IranIncluding Tehran, Mashhad, Isfahan, Shiraz, Zahedan, Ahvaz, Tabriz, and sensitive border regions in western and southeastern Iran.

While some cities in Iran – such as Tehran, Isfahan and Shiraz – are relatively stable and culturally rich, many areas, particularly near border zones and sensitive provinces, can pose elevated risks due to political tensions, regional unrest, and restrictions on movement and communication.

Many areas of Iran carry significant operational challenges. These may include restricted communications, regional unrest, limited healthcare access, and sensitive government controls – especially in border provinces such as Sistan and Baluchestan, Khuzestan, and Kermanshah.

Our role is to help you stay protected, informed, and focused on the work that matters – wherever your mission in Iran takes you.

We also cover areas of Western, Middle and Southern Asia such as:
