Pakistan will facilitate the return of 30 Iranian nationals as part of what officials described as a humanitarian effort carried out in coordination with international partners.
Foreign Minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar said the group includes Iranian fishermen and crew members who are expected to pass through the southern port city of Karachi in the coming days before returning to Iran.
According to officials, the group consists of:
Pakistan said it is working closely with Iranian, U.S. and UK authorities to ensure the safe transit and timely return of those involved.
In a statement, Muhammad Ishaq Dar said efforts are under way to coordinate logistics and provide the necessary support throughout the process.
“We continue to coordinate closely … to ensure the safe return of our Iranian brothers to their country,” he said.
The Pakistani government said the move reflects its broader commitment to humanitarian cooperation in the region, particularly in situations involving stranded or rescued individuals.
Officials emphasised that Pakistan would continue to provide support and assistance where needed, describing the repatriation effort as part of ongoing cooperation with neighbouring countries and international partners.
Both groups are expected to arrive in Karachi shortly, where arrangements will be made for their onward journey to Iran. Authorities have not provided a specific timeline but said the process is expected to be completed in the coming days.
