Ghana's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has activated an emergency preparedness plan and begun a partial evacuation of its embassy in Tehran, as a joint US-Israeli military strike on Iran on Saturday triggered retaliatory missile attacks across the Gulf — putting Ghanaian nationals in Bahrain, Israel, Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates directly in harm's way. In an official press release issued on February 28, 2026, the Ministry said it was "closely monitoring with serious concern the escalating hostilities in the Middle East" and was already assessing whether full evacuations of Ghanaian nationals would be necessary.
