A barrage of over one hundred Iranian ballistic missiles were launched at major Israeli cities, reportedly in retaliation for the death of a supported militia leader. Taiwan’s Foreign Ministry condemns Iran’s Tuesday missile attack on Israel in a statement published Wednesday, calling for restraint and urging all parties involved to employ communication and use diplomatic channels to resolve disputes.
Due to heightened tensions in the Middle East, Taiwan’s Foreign Ministry has strongly advised its citizens to refrain from traveling to Israel, Lebanon, and Iran. Those currently in the countries for business or travel are urged to remain vigilant and maintain contact with relevant Taiwanese overseas offices.
The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Tel Aviv also issued a warning to Taiwanese residents and expatriates in Israel, urging them to prioritize their safety and stay informed about the developing situation.
