Vietnamese Ambassador to Iran Nguyen Luong Ngoc said on Tuesday that currently, 20 Vietnamese citizens remain in Iran, including embassy staff and personnel. All are safe, mentally stable, and in regular contact with the embassy.
The Vietnamese community in Iran consists of 38 people, including embassy staff, long-term residents, and short-term visitors.
The embassy regularly advises them to remain vigilant, avoid crowded places, strictly follow local security and safety regulations, and maintain close contact with the embassy via the hotlines: +98 933 965 8252 or +98 991 205 7570.
The Vietnamese Embassy in Israel has also advised Vietnamese people living there to proactively prepare and seek ways to leave the country via land border crossings, especially toward Jordan or Egypt, when security and safety conditions allow.
In its notice sent to the Vietnamese community, the embassy noted that on Tuesday morning, Iran launched a simultaneous barrage of 20 ballistic missiles at Israel, which marks a shift to daytime attacks, potentially increasing the risk of casualties and damage.
Central and northern regions of Israel remain in high-risk zones as the conflict between Iran and Israel continues to escalate severely. Currently, Israeli airspace remains closed, and international commercial flights have yet to resume. The embassy recommended everyone to remain calm and closely follow updates from the Vietnamese community's liaison groups for specific guidance.
They are urged to register their intention to leave Israel for Vietnam or a third country via the Google Form provided by the embassy.
They are also asked to strictly comply with local security regulations and be fully prepared with essential items such as personal documents, medicine, food, and portable charger to enable short-term evacuation or temporary sheltering in case their residence becomes uninhabitable due to damage.
In any emergency requiring consular protection or assistance, they could contact the embassy's First Secretary Tran Van Giooc, at phone no.: +972-555025616, email: giooctv.mofa@gmail.com; Second Secretary Nguyen Thuy Anh, phone: +972-52-727-4248, email: anhnguyen.mofavn@gmail.com; and First Secretary Nguyen Bich Thuy, phone: +972-50-878-3373, email: thuynb.mofa@gmail.com.
Tensions between Israel and Iran have entered the sixth day and continue to escalate dangerously following Israel’s preemptive strikes on targets in Tehran and several Iranian provinces in the early hours of June 13. Many countries are now working on evacuation plans for their citizens from both Iran and Israel.
