TEHRAN – The Iranian Embassy in Lebanon issued a warning notice to Iranian citizens on Monday, asking them to refrain from visiting the country due to rising military threats by the Israeli regime. 

Mohammad Fereydouni, a senior consul in Beirut, stated that Iranians are discouraged from visiting Lebanon until further security notice due to the current conflict in the region.

Fereydouni also mentioned that the embassy has assisted some Iranians wishing to return to Iran from Lebanon.

“For those still in Lebanon who wish to return to Iran or require consular services, they can visit the Iranian embassy in Beirut or give us a call” Fereydouni added.

After an increase in regional military tensions and the continuous bombing of southern Lebanon by the Israeli regime, many countries in the region, such as Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, have asked their citizens not to travel to Lebanon.
