Given the war between Israel and Iran, countless states started to bring their citizens out of the crisis region. The domestic Ministry of Foreign Affairs is currently in contact with hundreds of Austria – while the world is afraid of a different escalation …
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Vienna, around 100 Austrians who want to leave Iran and about 200 in Israel would be in contact. The “intensive” consultation with partners, especially from the EU, as well as with transport companies, continued.
“We strongly recommend that you enter the crisis region,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed. Austrians who are in the region have also been called upon to register with the website in house.
Austrians flown from Jordan
According to Reuters’s news agency, the first evacuation flights arrived from the middle -east in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. In the course of the “supported departure”, ten Austrians from Jordan were also brought to Slovakia, as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed.
The Slovak authorities announced that the first flight with 73 people ended up in the capital Bratislava on Monday evening. Another flight will be prepared on Tuesday. Czech authorities said that a flight with 66 people who were evacuated from Israel arrived near Prague.
The Jordanian King Abdullah II warned in a speech by the European Parliament for an extension of the conflict in the middle East. Israel’s attack on Iran is the risk of an “escalation of tensions in my region and then,” said Abdullah II on Tuesday before the MPs in Strasbourg. It is “not foreseeable where the boundaries of this battlefield will end”.
Israel threatens the Ayatollah
The Israeli Minister of Defense Israel Katz threatened the senior leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Chamsi with a lot similar to that of Iraqi ruler Saddam Hussein.
“I warn the Iranian dictator to continue to commit war crimes and fire missiles to Israeli citizens,” said Katz on Tuesday, according to his office at a meeting with commanders of the Israeli army.
Chamtenei must remember what had happened with Saddam Hussein, who had taken Israel in the same way, Katz said. Under the rule of Saddam Hussein, Iraq attacked Israel with rockets during the Gulf War of 1991.
After the attacks of 11 September 2001, the United States accused him of maintaining the construction of mass destruction weapons and marching to Iraq in 2003. Saddam Hussein was overthrown, arrested after months of escape and eventually executed in 2006.
