Foreign governments seek emergency exits for nationals stranded in Iran and Israel
ISLAMABAD (AP) — The Iran-Israel conflict has shuttered airspace across the Middle East as the two bitter enemies launch attacks and reprisals at one another. The worsening security situation has seen foreigners scramble to evacuate. But, with so much travel disruption in the region, it's a tough task. Some governments are using Iran's land borders to get their nationals out. Others are advising their citizens on how to leave voluntarily or stay safe until an official exit plan is in place. Here's a look at evacuation efforts from Iran and Israel: Border buses and convoys Iran shares land borders with seven countries: Azerbaijan, Armenia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Turkey, and Turkmenistan. Italy's Foreign Ministry said Tuesday that it had evacuated dozens of its citizens from Iran in convoys heading to Azerbaijan and Turkey on Monday. Poland is evacuating some of its diplomatic staff from Tehran through Azerbaijan's capital, Baku. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Tuesday that the Russian Embassy in Tehran was working 'around the clock' to ensure nationals could leave Iran via a checkpoint on the border with Azerbaijan. 'All (Russian) citizens who are in Tehran and got in touch (with the embassy), for all of them the possibility of evacuating is being provided,' Peskov said during his daily conference call with the media. Moscow had earlier advised citizens to leave Iran and Israel by commercial means. The Russian Embassy in Tehran said several hundred people had already left Iran via the Astara border crossing into Azerbaijan, including the families of those working in Iran, members of the Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra, and citizens from Belarus, Serbia, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan. Peskov said that he was unaware of state-organized evacuations, but that such plans could be put in place if needed. The Astara crossing has also been used by citizens of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Portugal, the Philippines and Finland. Pakistan has started voluntary repatriations from Iran by bus to land border crossings. Pakistani passport holders are barred from traveling to Israel. China said that its Foreign Ministry and diplomatic missions in Iran and Israel had promptly activated 'emergency consular protection mechanisms' upon the outbreak of hostilities and was 'actively assisting' Chinese nationals seeking to leave. Third-country options Cyprus, the closest European Union country to Israel, says Portugal and Slovakia have asked for help in repatriating their citizens. Cypriot Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos said Monday that his government has received informal requests from other governments about Cyprus' ESTIA plan, which provides for the brief accommodation of evacuated third-country nationals before their repatriation. Cyprus has acted as a transfer point for third-country evacuees following the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, attack. In April 2023, Cyprus also assisted in the repatriation of U.K. nationals from Sudan. Turkmenistan is making its territory available for the departure of foreign diplomats and their family members, as well as other citizens in Iran. Those who have arrived so far have been given food, accommodation and other essential items, according to the Foreign Ministry in Ashgabat. Albania has thanked the Greek and Bulgarian Embassies in Tel Aviv, Israel, for helping Albanians who were in Israel for business and tourism. The Albanians are in Egypt and are expected to make their way home from there. Taiwan's government helped its citizens in Israel to leave by land for Jordan early Sunday on a bus that was arranged by Taiwan's representative office in Israel. Taiwan's representative office in Jordan is helping the Taiwanese nationals return home. Guidance and eventual help The French Foreign Ministry has urged citizens in Israel to be ''in a position to reach a shelter in a short time frame' and said there is a ban on any public gatherings and nonessential professional or educational activities. It has urged citizens to register with French authorities for eventual help. The ministry reiterated an earlier warning against nonessential travel to Israel and provides guidance on overland journeys to Jordan or Egypt. It also reiterated warnings against all travel to Iran. The Thai Embassy in Tehran on Tuesday advised nationals to leave the Iranian capital as soon as they could. It has set up a temporary shelter for Thai citizens in the historic Iranian city of Amol, which is about 20 kilometers (12 miles) south of the Caspian Sea. Thailand's government said that it's ready to evacuate Thai people in Israel and Iran if necessary, adding that no Thais have been injured in the ongoing conflict. The U.K. Foreign Office said that family members of staff at the U.K. Embassy in Tel Aviv and the U.K. Consulate in Jerusalem have been temporarily withdrawn as a precautionary measure. It advises against all travel to Israel and Iran, but hasn't ordered an evacuation. Instead, it advises people to 'register their presence' if they are in Israel or the Palestinian territories, and offers information on international land border crossings to Jordan and Egypt that are open. In Iran, having a British passport or connections to the U.K. can be 'reason enough' for authorities to detain someone, warns the Foreign Office. 'U.K. government support is extremely limited in Iran,' it said. 'Assume that no face-to-face consular assistance will be possible in an emergency.' ___ AP journalists from around the world contributed to this report.

Russia watches Israel-Iran crisis with few tools to intervene
Russia is watching Israel's bombardment of Iran with mounting concern for the survival of a key ally, though the Kremlin recognizes it has few levers to influence the escalating conflict in the Middle East. Iran hasn't asked for Russian help and Moscow doesn't plan to offer any defense assistance, according to a person close to the Kremlin. No one can stop Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from pursuing the bombing, and Russia won't be able to act as a mediator to stop the conflict if the goal is regime change, the person said, asking not to be identified discussing sensitive issues. "At the moment, mediation does not seem likely," said Fyodor Lukyanov, head of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, a think tank that advises the Kremlin. "If it comes to some form of behind-the-scenes diplomacy, Russia is more likely to play a role between Iran and the United States - Israel's interest in negotiations is not apparent." Russia has deepened its ties with Iran since President Vladimir Putin ordered the 2022 invasion of Ukraine and triggered Europe's biggest conflict since World War II. Iran has provided Russia with hundreds of combat drones used to attack targets in Ukraine, and the U.S. and Europe last year accused it of supplying ballistic missiles to Moscow, though Tehran denied the allegation. Russia, which built Iran's atomic power plant at Bushehr, took part in international negotiations that led to a landmark 2015 accord restricting the Islamic Republic's nuclear program in return for an easing of sanctions. U.S. President Donald Trump pulled out of the deal in his first term. Putin offered to help mediate a resolution to the Israel-Iran conflict during a nearly hour-long phone call with Trump on Saturday in which he warned of "unpredictable consequences" for the entire Middle East from the crisis. "The situation is currently on a path of further galloping escalation," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters Tuesday. The Russian leader, who also spoke to Netanyahu and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Friday, had proposed taking Tehran's enriched uranium stockpile before Israel's attack halted U.S.-Iran negotiations aimed at reaching a nuclear deal. "A joint peace plan between Russia and the U.S. is possible, which would strengthen Russia's global standing and create a foundation for the U.S. to consider lifting anti-Russian sanctions," said Sergei Markov, a political consultant close to the Kremlin. Any such deal would bolster Putin's relationship with Trump just as the U.S. is increasingly distancing itself from efforts to end Russia's war in Ukraine. Even short term, though, Moscow's war machine may benefit. "For Russia, Israel's attack on Iran could be as much of a geopolitical jackpot as the election of Donald Trump," said Ruslan Pukhov, a Moscow-based defense expert. "The sheer aggressiveness of Israel's strikes will weaken the West's moral case against Russia, while a war with Iran will likely raise oil prices - dashing hopes of cutting Moscow's vital war revenues." A new Middle East war would divert global attention from Russia's actions in Ukraine and likely trigger a shift in U.S. military support from Kyiv to aiding Israel, according to Pukhov. Still, after the sudden overthrow of Russia's Syrian ally President Bashar Al-Assad by rebels in December, the Kremlin has a lot to lose from an extended U.S.-backed Israeli military campaign that wrecks Iran's infrastructure and may lead to the demise of the regime in Tehran. Joint projects including a North-South transportation corridor that would help ease sanctions pressure on both countries would potentially be at risk from a prolonged conflict and political instability in Tehran, according to Nikita Smagin, an expert on Russia-Iran ties. "Russia sees the situation as potentially mirroring its experience with Assad in Syria," he said. "Suddenly finding itself dealing with a new and uncertain leadership, pushing out a partner it had relied on." ----------- -With assistance from Thomas Hall.
