In light of the latest developments, including renewed military strikes and heightened security responses in parts of the region, airspace closures and flight disruptions have been reported in Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and the UAE. Malaysians in the region are strongly advised to anticipate sudden changes to flight schedules, possible airport closures, and travel restrictions, and to make immediate contingency arrangements where necessary.
The Ministry strongly urges Malaysians in Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and the UAE, particularly those in or near affected areas, to exercise a high degree of vigilance, avoid areas of military activity and public gatherings, and strictly adhere to instructions issued by local authorities. Non-essential travel to Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and the UAE should be deferred until the security situation stabilises.
All Malaysians residing in or travelling to these countries are urged to immediately register and update their contact details with the nearest Malaysian Diplomatic Mission or via e-Konsular at https://ekonsular.kln.gov.my to facilitate timely assistance if required.
