The Foreign Ministry activates protocols, but (for now) without injured Mexicans
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs came out quickly to show its face. Its central message: until this moment, there is no record of any Mexican injured or directly affected by the latest attacks between the United States, Israel and Iran. It seems that luck, this time, was on the side of our countrymen.
But the official statement is not just to give a piece of peace. It is a clear and repeated instruction: the Mexican community in the region must remain in safe places and avoid unnecessary travel. The tone is the same as always in the face of these crises: calm, but maximum alert.
“Diplomatic representations in the Middle East maintain permanent communication with their compatriots to provide assistance if required,” the agency noted.
It’s the key phrase. It means that the embassies are with their phones in their hands, waiting for the call. They have strengthened their channels in Tehran, Tel Aviv, Amman, Doha and other key capitals. The numbers are published. The implicit message is: if you are there and feel at risk, scream. We respond.
The curious (or predictable) thing is the script that repeats itself. First, the “no Mexican victims” part, which always relieves. Then, the litany of recommendations that sound like a dusted manual: stay informed through official channels, avoid risk areas, register with the embassy.
Works? History will tell. For now, the Mexican government insists that the best weapon is information and cooperation with local authorities. As missiles cross the skies of the Middle East, our diplomats cross their fingers and monitor screens. Hoping that initial luck continues.
