He said Malaysia’s ambassador to Iran, Khairi Omar, has also returned to Iran after coming back to Malaysia during the conflict.

However, he did not say when the embassy reopened and resumed operations.

“The temporary closure (of the embassy) has ended. Our ambassador has returned to Tehran, so we are operating as usual. That is the current situation and we hope there are no further incidents or conflicts (in the region).

“This is because if instability arises in West Asia, it will not only be felt in Central Asia but also across the world, including in Malaysia, even though we are far away,” he said at a press conference after addressing the 2025 United Nations general assembly (UNGA) here yesterday.

Mohamad was responding to a question on the status of the  embassy in Iran, which was temporarily closed at the height of the conflict following an unprovoked airstrike by the Zionist regime on Iranian territory in June.

In retaliation, Iran launched ballistic missiles at several locations in Israel.

The foreign ministry then decided to bring Malaysians, including the ambassador, embassy staff and their families, back to Malaysia.

Malaysia established its embassy in Tehran in 1970, and Iran opened its diplomatic mission in Kuala Lumpur in 1981.
