Wisma Putra: Malaysians leaving Teheran today
KUALA LUMPUR: Efforts to evacuate Malaysians in Iran amid the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict are being finalised. Wisma Putra, in a statement, said Malaysians who agreed to join the evacuation process will be leaving Teheran today. "The ministry is in close coordination with all relevant missions to ensure a quick, smooth and safe journey of all citizens and their family members to Malaysia. "We look forward to welcoming you home soon," the statement read. On Wednesday, unity government spokesman Datuk Fahmi Fadzi said Malaysians currently in Iran were expected to be evacuated by today following recent air attacks on the country by Israel. Fahmi said necessary arrangements had been made in light of the heightened tensions in the region and that visa preparations for all affected Malaysians had been finalised. Wisma Putra previously urged all Malaysians in Iran to leave the country by any available means, citing the rapidly deteriorating conditions. The ministry said the situation remained highly volatile and could worsen without warning.
