PUTRAJAYA, June 18 (Bernama) --  All Malaysians in Iran registered with the Embassy in Tehran are safe and accounted for, based on the latest information, the Foreign Ministry said. 

“The ministry wishes to reassure the public that the safety and well-being of Malaysians abroad remain our utmost priority,” a spokesperson from the ministry said in a statement to the media on Wednesday. 

 According to the spokesperson, the ministry, through the Embassy of Malaysia in Tehran, continues to monitor the evolving situation closely and stands ready to extend the necessary consular assistance.

“We remain in close coordination with all relevant agencies, both domestic and international, to ensure that appropriate support is provided to Malaysians in Iran, including facilitating their safe return, if required,” the spokesperson added. 

The spokesperson said, in light of the heightened risks, the ministry has activated its operations room effective June 17. 

Immediate family members of Malaysians in Iran may contact the ministry for updates and assistance at +603 8887 4570 or via email at dutyofficer@kln.gov.my.

Earlier on Wednesday, Communications Minister – who is also MADANI government spokesperson – Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said Malaysia will evacuate its citizens from Iran.

The operation is expected to take place this Friday. 

Malaysia has urged all Malaysians in Iran to leave the country immediately amid ongoing instability and heightened risk following the escalation of conflict between Israel and Iran since last Friday.
