Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said the Hungarian government has introduced the necessary security protocols in light of the recent Israeli attack on Iran, adding that Hungarians in need of assistance should contact Hungary's embassies in Tel-Aviv and Tehran.
Minister Szijjártó said his ministry had contacted the two embassies and was informed that "staff members are well despite the circumstances" and the two embassies had introduced "the security protocols routinely applied in such situations".
Hungary has a consular service in both countries; so far, 787 Hungarian nationals have applied for consular protection in Israel, and 14 in Iran, the ministry quoted Minister Szijjártó as saying, in a statement.
Both countries have closed their airports, the statement said. Minister Szijjártó also warned that further drone or missile strikes could not be ruled out, and civilian flights could be restricted in the region, asking travellers to consider those circumstances before setting off for the region in the next few days.
Minister Szijjártó said the Hungarian foreign ministry is monitoring developments and will take further measures if necessary.
