PUTRAJAYA, Oct 26 — Malaysia strongly condemns military strikes by the Zionist Israeli regime against the sovereign state of Iran, particularly in Tehran, Karaj, Kashan, Mashhad and Shiraz early today.
In a statement today, the Foreign Ministry said these attacks constitute a blatant violation of international law and seriously undermine regional stability. The scale, number of casualties, and damage are still being determined.
“Malaysia calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities and an end to the cycle of violence,” read the statement.
The Foreign Ministry said Israel’s continuous acts with impunity have severely affected and will continue to affect the security and future stability of the Middle East, bringing the region closer to the brink of a wider conflict.
The ministry said the Malaysian Embassy in Tehran is closely monitoring these developments and no Malaysians have been affected by the attacks.
“All Malaysians in Iran are advised to remain calm, stay vigilant and follow the latest updates as well as guidance provided by the local authorities,” read the statement.
Malaysians in need of consular assistance may reach the Malaysian Embassy in Tehran at No. 25, 2nd Alley, North Zarafshan St, Shahrak-e-Gharb, Tehran, Islamic Republic of Iran.
They can also contact the embassy by phone at +98 21 8807 2444 or +98 21 8807 8606, or email [email protected].
