Inihayag ng Department of National Defense at Armed Forces of the Philippines na walang direktang banta sa teritoryo ng bansa ang kasalukuyang hidwaan sa Gitnang Silangan. Ayon sa mga awtoridad, walang ulat na nasaktan o namatay na Pilipino sa mga atake. Nagdirekta si Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. sa mga ahensya na tiyakin ang kaligtasan ng milyun-milyong overseas Filipino workers sa rehiyon.

Noong Pebrero 28, 2026, naglunsad ng magkasanib na atake ang Estados Unidos at Israel sa mga nuclear site ng Iran, na nagresulta sa pagkamatay ng Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei at daan-daang iba pa, kabilang ang mga bata sa isang paaralan sa Minab. Sumagot ang Iran sa pamamagitan ng paglunsad ng mga misayl at drone sa mga base ng US at Israel sa Persian Gulf, na nakakaapekto sa United Arab Emirates, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, at Qatar. Ayon sa Iranian state media, napatay din ang pamilya ni Khamenei, at may ulat ng 100 na bata ang namatay sa pag-atake sa paaralan.

Sa Pilipinas, nagpakalat ng pahayag ang DND at AFP noong Marso 1, na ang hidwaan ay limitado sa Gitnang Silangan at walang kredible na direktang banta sa teritoryo o mamamayan. "At the moment, the conflict is contained within the Middle East and there is no credible direct threat to our territory and Filipino and foreign citizens in the country," sabi ng DND. Hinihikayat ni AFP spokesperson Colonel Francel Margareth Padilla ang mga Pilipino na manatiling kalmado ngunit mapanuri, at umasa sa opisyal na impormasyon. Pinagbabalaan din nila laban sa дезинформация na maaaring magdulot ng hindi kinakailangang gulat.

Si Pangulong Marcos ay nag-utos sa Department of Foreign Affairs at Department of Migrant Workers na ipatupad ang mga emergency measures para sa kaligtasan ng mga OFW. Ayon sa kanya, walang ulat na nasaktan na Pilipino hanggang 9 a.m. ng Marso 1. Nagpakita rin ng data ang DMW na may 1.113 milyong land-based OFW sa Gitnang Silangan, karamihan sa UAE (397,892) at Saudi Arabia (386,699).

Dahil sa pagsara ng airspace, nag-adjust ang Philippine Airlines at Cebu Pacific ng mga flight: nag-divert o nag-cancel ng mga biyahe patungong Riyadh, Dubai, at Doha. Halimbawa, ang PR654 (Manila-Riyadh) ay bumalik sa Manila. Pinapayuhan ng mga airline at NAIA na suriin ang status ng flight bago maglakbay.

Handa ang AFP na tumulong sa humanitarian at evacuation operations. Maaaring makipag-ugnayan ang mga Pilipino sa OWWA sa mga numero tulad ng 138 sa Metro Manila o +63 915 079 5005 sa Globe.
