Muscat: As part of the fifth phase of its national evacuation plan, the Oman Foreign Ministry, in coordination with relevant authorities in the Sultanate and Oman’s diplomatic mission in Tehran, successfully repatriated 181 Omanis and several foreign nationals.
“The evacuees were transported from Mashhad in the Islamic Republic of Iran, transiting through Turkmenistan. They arrived safely by air at Muscat International Airport today,” the ministry added.
In a related effort, the Foreign Ministry announced the implementation of the fourth phase of its evacuation plan. Oman received 294 evacuated citizens at Muscat International Airport via the Republic of Turkiye, along with a number of nationals from other countries.
The Foreign Ministry expresses its deep appreciation for the integrated efforts of all relevant national authorities, particularly the support teams and field committees, as well as the constructive cooperation with the friendly Turkish authorities, which contributed to the smooth and safe execution of this phase.
The Ministry also affirms its commitment to proceeding with the subsequent phases of the evacuation plan through continuous coordination with parties concerned inside and outside Oman, ensuring the safety and secure return of citizens to their homeland.
With this phase, the total number of Omani citizens evacuated so far has risen to 1,188, while the number of other nationals whose return was facilitated stands at 281. This reflects Oman’s humanitarian considerations and ongoing coordination efforts with brotherly and friendly nations.
