A group of more than 300 Omani citizens have returned safely from the Islamic Republic of Iran to the Sultanate. The operation was part of the Foreign Ministry's plan to facilitate the return home of Omani citizens in an organised manner and was implemented in coordination with the relevant authorities.

The operation, coordinated with the Embassy of the Sultanate of Oman in Tehran,  saw the secure transfer of 313 citizens through the port of Bandar Abbas.
