Indonesian Ambassador to Iran Reports on Condition of Indonesian Nationals in Tehran Following Israeli-US Attack
The Indonesian Ambassador to Iran and Turkmenistan, Roy Soemirat, has ensured that the Indonesian Embassy continues to maintain full communication with Indonesian nationals in Tehran following missile attacks from Israel and the United States. The embassy has registered 329 Indonesian nationals officially residing in Tehran.
“The focus of the Indonesian Embassy in Tehran at present is to maintain two-way communication with all Indonesian nationals in Iran across all cities, with at least 329 Indonesian nationals reported and officially registered with the Iranian Embassy,” said Roy via a voice message distributed by Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Vahd Nabyl Achmad Mulachela on Saturday (28/2/2026).
Roy assured that communication would continue to be maintained to provide necessary protection to Indonesians. By 02:30 Tehran time, the embassy had contacted all Indonesian nationals in the city. To date, said Roy, no Indonesian nationals have felt threatened by the missile attacks from Israel and the United States.
“I can report that as of approximately 02:30 Tehran time, all contact points with Indonesian nationals that we have reached in various cities across Iran have stated that they have not experienced or felt any direct threat to these Indonesian nationals,” he stated.
Nevertheless, the embassy continues to urge Indonesian nationals to remain vigilant. He noted the need to take immediate steps to ensure personal and family safety.
“However, of course the embassy continues to urge Indonesian nationals to take the necessary measures to ensure the security of themselves and their families respectively,” said Roy.
Roy confirmed that the assessment process would continue and coordinate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to report the current situation.
“Security assessments in Iran will continue to be conducted by the Iranian Embassy and coordinated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs office in Jakarta. Subsequent updates will be provided regularly through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, particularly through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesperson,” he stated.
