Seoul: Ten other South Koreans and their Iranian family members have evacuated Iran since Iran and Israel agreed to a ceasefire following an intense armed conflict, Seoul's foreign ministry said Friday.
According to Yonhap News Agency, one South Korean and two Iranians departed Tehran between Wednesday and Thursday via a land route and safely arrived in Turkmenistan. The ministry confirmed this development in a release.
Separately, seven South Korean citizens flew out of the Islamic Republic, transiting through Oman and Dubai, and arrived home on Friday. This evacuation is part of a broader movement, as a total of 66 South Koreans have left Iran since the conflict began with Israel's airstrikes on Iran last month, the ministry reported.
