Due to the prevailing situation in the country, the Embassy will remain closed and will operate remotely for the time being, the diplomatic mission stated in a message on X. It also indicated that the consular section will continue to monitor assistance and protection for Mexicans through the phone number +98 912 122 4463 and the email address consularesirn@sre.gob.mx. It also specified that due to the physical relocation of the Embassy from Tehran, where bombings by the United States and Israel continue, in-person consular procedures are temporarily suspended. The Mexican Embassy will also operate temporarily from Azerbaijan, with the support of the representation in Baku. This Tuesday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE) of Mexico reported that 1,009 Mexican nationals have been evacuated from Middle Eastern countries, including Israel, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, Iran, and Qatar. So far, no injured Mexicans have been reported, the ministry stated, while reiterating the recommendation to 'avoid traveling to the region.' In recent days, Israel has deepened a ground invasion into Lebanon, where it maintains military positions near the dividing line despite the ceasefire reached in 2024, which has increased tension and risk for civilians and foreigners in several countries in the region following the start of U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran ten days ago.
