Foreign Governments Seek Emergency Exits for Nationals Stranded in Iran and Israel
- The New Zealand Government announced on June 19, 2025, that it evacuated embassy staff from Iran via a convoy including officials from other countries due to escalating Israel-Iran conflict.
- The conflict intensified after Israel launched its largest-ever airstrikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites starting June 13, causing missile exchanges and airspace closures in both countries.
- New Zealand urges its citizens to leave Iran overland if safe and continues close coordination with Australia and others to explore evacuation flights once airspace reopens, which could take weeks.
- Iranian officials reported at least 224 killed and 1,200 injured in recent strikes, nearly 2,000 Australians seek evacuation, and Goldman Sachs estimates oil prices could exceed $90 per barrel if supply disrupts.
- The ongoing conflict and closed airspace hinder evacuations, prompting governments to advise civilians to find safe exit routes and signaling increased regional instability and global economic risks.
