Around a dozen Malaysians in Iran are refusing to leave the country amid the current geopolitical tensions there.  

Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan says the 13, who include students,  have already signed indemnity letters, in case the situation worsens.

He also repeated Wisma Putra's advice for Malaysians to delay any non-essential travel to Iran.

Even then, he advised that any meetings with Iranians should be held in a third country.  

Tok Mat said this as Tehran and Washington prepare for further negotiations over a nuclear deal that aims to fend off possible US military action.
