MUSCAT — Additional Omani citizens have returned home from Iran as part of a continuing repatriation operation led by the Foreign Ministry in coordination with relevant authorities, local media reported.

The latest group of returnees was transported via a mix of land and air routes, with officials working to ensure safe and orderly transit amid persistent regional tensions that have disrupted travel and airspace access.

Authorities said the evacuation process remains ongoing, with plans in place to facilitate the phased return of all Omani nationals currently stranded abroad.

The operation comes as heightened instability in the region continues to affect mobility, prompting officials to prioritise citizen safety while coordinating closely with international and regional partners.
