Pakistanis in Iran urged to register for return

Pakistan's Ambassador to Iran Muhammad Mudassir Tipu issued an appeal on Monday for Pakistani nationals to register with the embassy immediately for repatriation, warning that securing transportation has become increasingly difficult amid the ongoing conflict in the region.

In a post on X, the ambassador said the embassy was facing mounting logistical hurdles in arranging departures. "It is getting very hard to find the buses due to ongoing challenges here," he wrote. Calling on nationals who wish to return, Tipu requested them to register with the embassy immediately so that their departure may be planned without any further delay.

"I particularly call on our nationals in Qom to cooperate with us in their immediate repatriation," the ambassador wrote.

The call comes amid escalating tensions in the Middle East as the United States and Israel continue their strikes against Iran, with the Islamic Republic attacking US military bases in the region.

Pakistani nationals continue to return from Iran through the Taftan border as regional tensions between Israel and Iran persist.

Officials confirmed that another 149 individuals crossed into Pakistan from Iran through the Taftan crossing.
