T
he government has held back from issuing an evacuation order to Indonesian citizens in Iran, despite many countries’ call for evacuation for their citizens amid rising concerns of continued bombardment and further escalations between Iran and Israel.
Iran’s security status will remain on level 2 alert until further escalations, the Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday, while assuring that a contingency plan has been readied to respond to any changes in the situation.
Officials have communicated with Indonesian citizens in Iran to check on their conditions and inform them of contingencies prepared by the Indonesian Embassy in Tehran, said the ministry’s citizen protection director Judha Nugraha.
“Coordination with relevant ministries and agencies have also taken place to ensure that Indonesian citizens will be received well back home whenever an evacuation order has been issued by the government,” Judha said during a press briefing on Tuesday.
The ministry recorded at least 386 citizens residing in Iran, most of whom are students in the city of Qom, some 140 kilometers south of Tehran.
Meanwhile, at least 194 Indonesian citizens are currently in Israel, composed primarily of student interns.
