He said Wisma Putra is monitoring the situation and appropriate action would be taken to ensure the safety of the Malaysians if instructed by the National Security Council.

“In Iran, there are 38 Malaysians, including embassy staff, while in Jordan, there are approximately 2,000 to 3,000, many of whom are students.

“In Lebanon, there are over 800 Malaysians, most of whom are peacekeepers serving with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon.

“As of today, there is no urgent need to repatriate our citizens from these countries,” he told reporters after attending Wisma Putra’s Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration.

Last Friday, Israel launched an attack on Iran in retaliation for Tehran’s attack the previous weekend.

Tel Aviv had previously warned of retaliatory strikes after Iran launched 300 drones and guided missiles towards Israel, but most of them were intercepted.

Iran’s attack was in response to Israel’s bombing of targets in Syria earlier this month, including the Iranian consulate in Damascus.

Mohamad expressed hope for a de-escalation in the conflict between the two countries, saying it brought no benefit to the world.

He said the conflict should not divert Malaysia and other countries from their efforts to defend the plight of oppressed Palestinians.

“The issue of Palestine must continue to be advocated, especially in light of the atrocities experienced by the Palestinian people, who have been oppressed, killed and displaced from their homeland for more than 75 years,” he said.

Mohamad also said no Malaysians were affected by Dubai’s floods.

“We hope for a swift recovery in Dubai, particularly in restoring the airport’s management system.

“The Malaysian consulate in Dubai remains in constant communication with Wisma Putra and, fortunately, no Malaysians have been affected by this disaster,” he said.

According to media reports, the United Arab Emirates experienced its heaviest rainfall in 75 years, resulting in severe floods in several areas of the country, especially in Dubai.
