The Thai government has confirmed that it is closely monitoring the escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, with contingency plans to ensure the safety of Thai nationals in Israel. Approximately 8,000 Thai workers were previously evacuated from Israel following an attack by Hamas on October 7, though many have since returned. 

The situation remains volatile, notably after recent threats from Iran and a retaliatory stance from Israel. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) said it is prepared to implement emergency security measures to protect Thai citizens if the situation deteriorates further. Thai nationals in Israel are advised to remain vigilant, avoid conflict zones, and stay in contact with the embassy for assistance.

In the broader international context, the U.S. is also taking precautions, with US President Joe Biden stressing America's commitment to defend Israel against potential Iranian attacks. The U.S. has deployed warships to the region, anticipating an imminent threat, as global concerns about a direct confrontation grow. 

This development follows a suspected Israeli airstrike on an Iranian embassy compound in Damascus, which Iran vowed to retaliate against, describing it as an attack on its sovereignty.
