Australia Suspends Tehran Embassy, Evacuates Officials Amid Iran Security Crisis
Australia has suspended its embassy operations in Tehran and ordered all Australian officials and their families to evacuate due to a rapidly deteriorating security situation linked to escalating military actions between Israel and Iran. Foreign Minister Penny Wong confirmed that Australia's ambassador to Iran will remain in the region to support government efforts, while consular staff are being deployed to Azerbaijan to assist Australians leaving Iran amid closed airspace and limited consular access. Approximately 1,200 Australians are currently seeking evacuation, with numbers expected to rise as many remain stranded in the region. Australians are urged to leave if safe or shelter in place if not, and the government is coordinating with international partners to facilitate departures. This step aligns with similar embassy suspensions by countries such as New Zealand and Switzerland, reflecting heightened geopolitical tensions in the area. The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade continues to provide support through a 24-hour Consular Emergency Centre and crisis communications.
