A second group of Kuwaiti citizens arrived home safely on Sunday after being evacuated from Iran via Turkmenistan, as part of an ongoing emergency repatriation effort led by the Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry. The move comes amid rising regional tensions and diplomatic efforts to safeguard nationals abroad.
According to the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA), the operation was carried out under direct orders from the Kuwaiti leadership and implemented in close collaboration with authorities in Iran, Turkmenistan, and Kuwait. The mission involved coordination between diplomatic teams, border officials, and security agencies to ensure a smooth and secure transit for returning citizens.
🛡️ Proactive Diplomacy Amid Geopolitical Risk
This evacuation marks the second successful repatriation effort since regional hostilities heightened earlier this month. Though the Foreign Ministry has not publicly disclosed the number of returnees, sources suggest that dozens of Kuwaitis had been temporarily residing or visiting Iran for academic, business, or family reasons.
The regional situation remains volatile, with increasing concerns over security in key transit and conflict-prone areas. Kuwait’s timely action reflects its long-standing commitment to protecting its nationals abroad and showcases the efficacy of Gulf diplomacy in times of crisis.
🇰🇼 Official Statement
In an official statement, the Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry reiterated its commitment to monitor developments closely and vowed to take “all necessary diplomatic and logistical measures” to ensure the well-being of its citizens, wherever they are.
“We thank our brothers in Iran and Turkmenistan for their cooperation, and assure our citizens that every possible step is being taken to protect them,” said a senior Kuwaiti official involved in the operation.
🔍 Looking Ahead
Kuwait continues to maintain open communication channels with regional partners to prepare for additional evacuations if required. The Foreign Ministry also urged Kuwaiti nationals currently in high-risk areas to register with nearby embassies and stay informed through official channels.
