Wisma Putra issues travel advisory for Iran, Iraq and Jordan
PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia has issued a travel advisory for Iran, Iraq, and Jordan amid tensions between Iran and Israel, urging its citizens to defer non-essential travel and prioritise their safety.
In a statement today, the Foreign Ministry (Wisma Putra) said it is closely monitoring developments in the Middle East – through the Embassy of Malaysia in Tehran, as well as its embassies in Baghdad and Amman – following the recent tensions between Iran and Israel.

"Non-essential travel to these areas should be deferred, given the unpredictable nature of the conflict," the statement read.
The Foreign Ministry also strongly advises Malaysians in Iran, particularly those in the proximity of the affected areas, to remain vigilant, stay informed of the latest developments, and adhere to the instructions issued by local authorities.
"All Malaysians residing in or travelling to Iran are urged to update their contact details with the Embassy of Malaysia in Tehran," it stated.

From Nurliyana Farhah Ruslan MAKKAH, June 15 (Bernama) -- After 53 days of tireless reporting, Tabung Haji's (TH) media operations for the 1446H/2025M haj season officially concluded today, marking the end of an extensive coverage mission by 14 committed media practitioners. The TH media personnel not only carried out reporting duties in the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah, but also had the opportunity to perform the haj, making the assignment a sacred mission filled with trust, responsibility, and spiritual reflection. Malaysian Haj Delegation head Mohd Hisham Harun expressed his deep appreciation for the commitment and dedication of the media team, describing them as the backbone of communication throughout this year's haj season. 'I found the coverage carried out by the media personnel to be excellent and effective, receiving an overwhelming response, especially on social media platforms. 'It allowed Malaysians to closely follow the atmosphere and developments involving their family members in the holy city of Makkah during the pilgrimage,' he told reporters. Meanwhile, Astro Awani executive editor Zaiful Ariffin described the opportunity to report on the haj as a great trust placed upon him and his fellow media practitioners in their efforts to deliver accurate, comprehensive and heartfelt information to Malaysians. 'May we all attain a 'mabrur' haj, and at the same time, as media practitioners, we have managed to convey information about the pilgrims in the holy land,' he said. All TH media personnel will depart from King Abdulaziz International Airport, Jeddah at 7.45 am local time Sunday and are expected to arrive at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) at 10.15 pm the same day, Malaysian time.
