On February 28, the US and Israel launched military operations against Iran. Iranian forces carried out strikes on US military bases in the Middle East region. Some neighboring countries to Iran have closed their airspace, and international flights have been suspended. There has been Chinese national injured in the attacks, and some temporary travelers are stranded locally.

Against the backdrop, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs reminded Chinese citizens Sunday evening to closely monitor developments in the situation and temporarily avoid traveling to countries and regions around Iran that have been affected by military actions. 

Chinese citizens already in the above-mentioned countries and regions should further strengthen personal safety precautions, and avoid going to military facilities, protest gatherings, or other sensitive areas, the ministry urged on Sunday.
