Iran's Ambassador to Kazakhstan: No Harm Reported to Foreign Citizens, Including Afghan Migrants, in Recent Attacks

Iran's ambassador to Kazakhstan stated that no official reports have been received of foreign nationals being killed or injured in recent attacks on Iran.

Ali Akbar Jokar made the remarks during a Thursday press conference, as reported by Russia's TASS news agency. He said Tehran has no official information on harm to foreign citizens resulting from the attacks. Jokar noted that citizens from neighboring countries were in Iran when the attacks began, but many have since left the country.

The ambassador emphasized that most foreign nationals living or working in Iran are Afghan citizens, raising concerns about their status amid escalating conflicts.

TASS reported that the United States and Israel launched military operations against Iran on February 28, targeting several cities including Tehran. Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps stated it responded by striking targets in Israel and some U.S. facilities in the region.

Separately, some Afghan migrants in Iran have been forced to leave following the U.S.-Israel attacks. According to United Nations statistics, approximately 1,700 people have been returning to Afghanistan daily since the war began.
