The Mexican Embassy in Iran, which also serves Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, announced on Tuesday the closure of its diplomatic headquarters in the country due to the escalation of the armed conflict in the Middle East and will therefore operate “remotely ” from Azerbaijan.
“Due to the current situation in the country, the Embassy will remain closed and will temporarily operate remotely,” the diplomatic mission said in a message on X.
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.
In recent days, israel has deepened a ground invasion in Lebanon, where it maintains military positions near the dividing line despite the ceasefire reached in 2024, which has increased tension and risk to civilians and foreigners in several countries in the region after the start of US and Israeli attacks on Iran ten days ago.
