The ministry stated in response to the military escalation escalation between Israel and Iran.
The Egyptian mission delivered the update during a call with Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty, who requested a complete check on the safety and well-being of Egyptian nationals across multiple Iranian cities.
Abdelatty instructed the mission to communicate with community members 24 hours a day, address any issues they face promptly, and continue monitoring the evolving situation.
He also directed the mission to provide ongoing support and care for Egyptians in Iran.
The ministry urged the Egyptian community to stay in safe locations and report any difficulties to the embassy. It also called on all Egyptian nationals in Iran to exercise maximum caution and remain in secure areas.
For assistance, the ministry provided emergency contact numbers for the Egyptian mission in Tehran:
+98 21 2241 9100
+98 22 4200 1516
+98 998 119 8877
The statement came after Israel launched airstrikes on Tehran Friday, targeting Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. The attack marked Israel’s most significant strike on Iranian soil since the 1980s Iran-Iraq war.
In response, Iran launched a wave of retaliatory strikes on Israel, hitting several areas, including Tel Aviv.
