Indonesian Embassy in Tehran Confirms 329 Indonesian Citizens Safe
Amid escalating armed conflict between Iran and the United States and Israel, the Indonesian Embassy (KBRI) in Tehran has confirmed that hundreds of Indonesian nationals (WNI) remain under close observation and have not faced direct threats.
Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia to Iran and Turkmenistan, Rolliansyah (Roy) Soemirat, stated in an online press conference on Sunday, 1 March 2026, that KBRI is continuously monitoring the security situation following attacks in several regions of Iran.
“The current conditions and situation in Iran are related to attacks conducted against Iran by several other countries,” Roy said.
He emphasised that KBRI Tehran’s primary focus is ensuring the safety of all Indonesian nationals across various cities in Iran. At least 329 Indonesian nationals have registered officially with KBRI Tehran.
“The concentration of KBRI Tehran at present is maintaining continuous two-way communication with all Indonesian nationals in Iran across all cities. At least around 329 Indonesian nationals have reported themselves and are officially registered with KBRI Tehran,” he said.
According to Roy, this intensive communication is key to determining appropriate protective measures.
“This communication is very important for us to provide the most accurate assessment to offer assistance and protection needed by the Indonesian nationals,” he stated.
As of 2:30 PM Iran time, KBRI confirmed there have been no reports of direct threats to Indonesian nationals.
“What I can report is that up to the current time, around 2:30 PM Iran time, all Indonesian national contact points we reached across various cities in Iran have stated that they are not experiencing or feeling any direct threat,” Roy affirmed.
Nevertheless, KBRI continues to urge all Indonesian nationals to heighten vigilance and take independent security precautions.
“However, of course KBRI continues to urge Indonesian nationals to take necessary measures to secure themselves and their respective families,” he said.
Roy added that security assessments will continue and be coordinated with the Foreign Ministry in Jakarta.
