Sudan moves to evacuate citizens from Iran amid Israeli strikes

Date: Jun 17, 2025

Sudan’s Prime Minister, Kamil Idris, has instructed the Sudanese Ambassador in Tehran to begin immediate arrangements to safely evacuate Sudanese nationals from Iran.

The move follows a series of powerful Israeli airstrikes that have hit several Iranian cities, including the capital, Tehran.

The decision was announced as regional tensions surged, with Israel intensifying its military operations in what it says are targeted strikes on Iranian military assets. The escalation has prompted fears of broader conflict across the region.

In a brief statement, Sudanese authorities confirmed that diplomatic channels are being used to ensure the safety of citizens currently in Iran. While the exact number of Sudanese nationals affected has not been disclosed, government officials say coordination is under way to assist those seeking to return home.

Evacuation plans are expected to be carried out in close collaboration with Iranian officials and international partners. Emergency protocols have reportedly been activated at Sudan’s embassy in Tehran to provide immediate support to those in need.

The Sudanese government has also urged restraint from all sides, calling for the protection of civilians and a de-escalation of hostilities.
