The Min­istry of For­eign and Cari­com Af­fairs has called on Trinidad and To­ba­go na­tion­als to ex­er­cise the high­est lev­el of vig­i­lance be­cause of the es­ca­lat­ing ten­sions be­tween Is­rael and Iran.

In an ad­vi­so­ry is­sued yes­ter­day, June 16, the min­istry said it was close­ly mon­i­tor­ing de­vel­op­ments in the re­gion and en­cour­aged all cit­i­zens re­sid­ing in or plan­ning to trav­el through the af­fect­ed ar­eas to take im­me­di­ate pre­cau­tions.

The For­eign and Cari­com Af­fairs Min­istry ad­vised na­tion­als to re­main alert and stay in­formed by fol­low­ing cred­i­ble news sources and of­fi­cial up­dates.

It al­so urged cit­i­zens to reg­is­ter prompt­ly with its Reg­is­tra­tion Sys­tem for Na­tion­als Abroad at https://reg­is­ter.for­eign.gov.tt, en­sure trav­el doc­u­ments are cur­rent, com­ply with lo­cal safe­ty di­rec­tives, and lo­cate near­by emer­gency shel­ters in case of in­ten­si­fied hos­til­i­ties.

The state­ment ad­vised trav­ellers to cre­ate con­tin­gency plans for de­par­ture, es­pe­cial­ly if their safe­ty may be at risk.
