Foreign Delegations Have Departed and Airspace Closed, How Will Indonesian FM Travel to Iran?

Iran is currently awaiting the opportune moment to confirm a visit by an Indonesian delegation, which includes the Foreign Minister and the Chairman of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR). The purpose of their trip is to pay their final respects to the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei.

Iranian Ambassador to Indonesia, Mohammad Boroujerdi, stated that Iran had extended invitations to Indonesia and other friendly nations some weeks prior. He expressed Iran's pleasure that the Indonesian government accepted the invitation to send a delegation. However, the situation in Iran is currently complex, as most ceremonies for foreign delegates have concluded, and many have already returned to their respective countries.

We are waiting for the right situation to confirm the visit of the Indonesian delegation to Iran and pay final respects to the late Supreme Leader of Iran.

"We are waiting for the right situation to confirm the visit of the Indonesian delegation to Iran and pay final respects to the late Supreme Leader of Iran," Boroujerdi told reporters in Jakarta on Tuesday. He added, "I hope we can confirm it soon, but there are still some things that need to be done regarding that."

The ambassador explained that during the funeral ceremonies, all flight paths and airspace in Iran were closed. The Indonesian delegation's visit is contingent on finding a suitable time amidst these circumstances, ensuring they can properly honor the late Ayatollah Khamenei.
