Germany Withdraws Embassy Staff from Iran
Israa Farhan Germany's Foreign Ministry has temporarily withdrawn its diplomatic staff from the embassy in Tehran as tensions between Iran and Israel escalate into open conflict, according to German public broadcaster ARD. The move comes amid growing security concerns following direct military exchanges between Israel and Iran, prompting several Western nations to reassess their diplomatic presence in the region. According to ARD, embassy officials were relocated outside Iran, while family members of the diplomatic team had already left the country earlier. The German Foreign Ministry stated that the decision aligns with similar precautionary measures taken by allied nations and is being carried out in close coordination with them. Despite the evacuation, the German Embassy in Tehran remains operational through mobile units and continues to provide consular services to German nationals who remain in or visit Iran. Germans currently in Iran have been advised to explore overland routes for potential departure, should the security situation worsen further. Germany's move follows similar announcements by the United Kingdom and Switzerland, both of which confirmed the closure of their embassies in Tehran on Friday in response to the rapidly deteriorating regional environment. The withdrawal underscores the rising risk posed by the ongoing hostilities, as concerns grow over the potential for a broader conflict in the Middle East. In recent days, Iran and Israel have exchanged missile attacks, raising fears of a prolonged escalation that could threaten diplomatic staff and foreign nationals in the region. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand
