Convoy of Pakistani students stranded in Iran leaves Tehran

Tehran: A convoy of Pakistani students stranded in Iran has left for Pakistan.

Pakistanis were stranded in Iran due to the war between Israel and Iran, but now six buses carrying Pakistani students have left for the Taftan border.

According to reports, the Taftan border will be open after 4:00pm today. 180 Pakistanis crossed the border on Sunday. Among those returning are 168 pilgrims and 12 traders.

Pakistan’s Ambassador to Iran, Mudassar Tipu, says that he is in Pakistan for official meetings. The Pakistani embassy in Iran is working to provide all possible facilities to Pakistanis.

Mudassar Tipu shared the number and email of the embassy in Tehran, consulates in Mashhad and Zahedan, and the unit established in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Islamabad on social media.

It is pertinent to note that both crossing points of Panjgur, which borders Iran, have been closed indefinitely. The air route between the two countries is also closed.

In light of the Israeli attacks, the Ministry of Interior has advised citizens not to travel to Iran.
