Ghana has closed its embassy in Iran indefinitely after successfully evacuating all staff amid escalating tensions between Iran and Israel.
Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa announced the move in a Facebook page, prioritizing the safety and welfare of Ghanaians.
The evacuation, coordinated by Minister, involved diplomats, students, and professionals who were moved via land borders.
This follows a joint US-Israeli military strike on Iran, prompting Ghana to activate its emergency preparedness plan and assess the situation.
The ministry by notice has urged Ghanaians in affected countries to stay indoors, avoid high-risk areas, and keep travel documents ready.
Emergency contact numbers have been provided for those needing assistance.
