According to the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as of March 2, there are about 22,000 citizens of Kyrgyzstan in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.

About 100 Kyrgyz citizens are registered in Israel, most of whom are women with dual citizenship.

Approximately 10,000 citizens of Kyrgyzstan reside in the UAE.

In Kuwait and Bahrain, there are about 800 people, predominantly those with permanent residency. Around 6,000 pilgrims are in Saudi Arabia. No requests for urgent evacuation have been received from them.

According to representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the situation in the Persian Gulf countries remains stable. There have been no attacks or targeted strikes on tourist areas, and the video materials appearing online relate to counter-strike operations.

"At the moment, the possibility of evacuating citizens is being considered in case the situation worsens. However, there is currently no security threat, and there have been no reports of injured citizens," the department noted.

On February 28, Israel and the United States struck Tehran and other sites in Iranian territory. Donald Trump announced his intention to destroy the nuclear program of the Islamic Republic, urging the Iranian army to lay down their arms and for the citizens of the country to take their fate into their own hands.

In response, Iran attacked territories in Israel and other countries in the Middle East. The Central Command of the U.S. Armed Forces reported on February 28 minimal damage to American facilities in the Middle East, which did not affect operations. However, on March 1, it was reported that three American servicemen were killed as a result of the attacks, and five were seriously injured.

On the second day of the Israeli-American military operation, Iranian authorities confirmed the death of the country's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as well as several high-ranking military officials, including Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh and the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Mohammad Pakpour.
