ISLAMABAD: The government has directed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) to begin safe evacuation of families of diplomats and non-essential staff from Iran as a "precautionary measure" amid escalating tensions in the region following the Iran-Israel conflict, an official source confirmed on Tuesday.
Pakistani Embassy in Tehran and consulates in Mashhad and Zahedan will remain fully operational, ensuring uninterrupted consular services for citizens, the source added.
“The foreign Ministry is moving out families of diplomats and staff and some non-essential staff from Iran. However Pakistan embassy in Tehran and our consulates will continue to remain functional,” the official remarked.
The move follows heightened regional instability, including Israeli air strikes targeting Iranian military and nuclear facilities, and retaliatory missile attacks by Iran. Over 220 casualties have been reported in Iran, with 20 in Israel.
