There was initially no information on how many Germans should be flown out in the afternoon by special flight from Amman. “We keep all the Germans registered on the crisis list of the crisis list about details about these flights,” it said. The journey to the airport must “take place independently not least for security reasons and individual circumstances”. In order to support German nationals on site, embassy staff in Amman are at the Allby of the Allby Border Cross between Jordan and Israel and Amman Airport.
According to the information from the Federal Foreign Office, there are currently around 1,000 Germans in Iran and around 4,000 German citizens in Israel. The “commercial flight options from Amman” are still not sufficient. The Federal Foreign Office continues to call for all Germans to register on the Elefand crisis list and to keep the data up to date.
The departure of Germans from Iran is also “very difficult”. The Federal Foreign Office did not announce special flights for Germans who are currently in Iran.
The border crossings to Armenia and Turkey are open and an exit over these two countries “in principle”, it said. People could also leave the border between Iran and Azerbaijan “in individual cases”. “Both from Armenia as well as from Turkey and Azerbaijan consists of regular commercial air traffic. The airports and air rooms are open. Germans should use these opportunities to continue to Germany,” it said.
Because of the “volatile security situation” in Iran and in Israel, even overland trips are a great risk. Collected large convoys are “currently not an option” for security reasons, since this would require that Germans come together from different parts of the country. “This would mean additional long travel and sometimes waiting times and thus creates a significant risk of path in view of the ongoing air raids,” it said. German nationals on site are therefore also called to “weigh up exit options on the country path depending on their individual situation”.
