, June 17 -- Against the background of the Iran-Israel conflicts, Bangladesh has taken an initiative to shift Bangladeshis, including its Mission officials to a safer location soon from Tehran, considering the situation on the ground in the Iranian capital.

"At this moment, there is no way to leave Iran (by air). We have given them (Bangladeshis) instructions to move to a safer place," acting Foreign Secretary Ruhul Alam Siddique told reporters at a media briefing at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

He said the relocation process has already started with the funds available with the Mission.

The acting Foreign Secretary said they are worried about 400 Bangladeshis in Tehran as they are at serious risk.
