PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia is closely monitoring the developments in the Middle East following the recent Iran-Israel tensions to ensure the safety and well-being of its citizens in the region.
The Foreign Ministry (Wisma Putra) in its statement Sunday said as a result of the escalating tensions, several countries, including Iran, Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq, have closed their airspace.
“Malaysians in the region should be prepared for potential disruptions to flight schedules and are advised to make necessary adjustments to their travel plans,” the statement read.
