We will continue to coordinate closely with our allies and partners. Our immediate concern is the safety of the Romanian citizens in the region. Romania's embassies and consular offices are fully mobilized and ready to provide assistance," the Romanian Foreign Affairs Ministry went on to note.Iran launched earlier on Saturday a fourth wave of missiles on Israel in response to the unprecedented Israeli air strikes carried out the day before on Iranian military and nuclear sites, which raised fears of escalating tensions in the region.

Furthermore, throughout the affected region, Romania`s diplomatic missions are fully mobilized and ready to provide assistance to ensure the safety of Romanian citizens.
