In addition, the account indicated that the consular section will continue to provide assistance and protection to Mexicans through the telephone number +98 912 122 4463 and the email address consularesirn@sre.gob.mx.
The Embassy also stated that due to the physical relocation of the Embassy from Tehran, where bombing by the United States and Israel continues, in-person consular services are temporarily suspended. The Mexican Embassy will operate temporarily from Azerbaijan, with support from the representation in Baku.
