Pakistan’s ambassador to Iran, Muhammad Mudassir Tipu, said on X, “It is getting very hard to find the buses due to ongoing challenges here - apart from a range of other considerations.

“Therefore those of our nationals who wish to go to Pakistan , with our cooperation , are requested to kindly register with the embassy immediately so that we can plan their departure without any further delay . I particularly call on our nationals in Qom to cooperate with us in their immediate repatriation,” he said.
