Foreign Affairs Minister of Ghana, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwah, has confirmed that Ghana has closed its embassy in Iran.
The decision was made in the wake of the joint attack of the USA and Israel on Iran, which has also responded fiercely.
The conflict, which was supposed to be between these three superpowers, has spread through the Middle East quickly.
Ghanaians are well spread across the Middle East Region, hence forcing the ministry to act in a bid to protect the citizens.
“I am delighted to announce that we have conducted a successful evacuation of all our embassy staff in Iran.
The Ghanaian diplomats are safe and in high spirits.
Ghana’s embassy in Iran is now closed sine die.
The safety, welfare and protection of Ghanaians remains our utmost priority in these tempestuous times.
For God and Country”
The minister wrote on social media. Aside from the USA, Israel and Iran, areas like Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Lebanon have been bleeding profusely, and nothing shows that things will slow down soon.
