The 65 Iranians are the first group of Iranians to be relocated by the kingdom since evacuations began.
On Saturday, Saturday, 65 Iranians were among some 1,900 people evacuated from Sudan, which is experiencing bloody clashes between the army and the Rapid Support Forces.
Riyadh has organized several evacuations from Sudan, which have so far included around five thousand people, who are Saudis and citizens of more than 96 nationalities, according to the Saudi Foreign Ministry.
Iranian diplomat Hassan Zarnarkar Abarqoi, who received the Iranians at King Faisal’s naval base in Jeddah, told AFP that the group of 65 Iranians was the “first” to be evacuated from Sudan.
For his part, Iranian Mehrdad Malekzadeh (28), who was among the arrivals from Sudan, said: “Fortunately, they really helped us, put their differences aside and worked together, they saved lives “.
Zarnarkar Abarqoi thanked Riyadh for its cooperation, considering it “an indication of consular cooperation between the two countries as well as humanitarian cooperation”.
The situation in Khartoum Regarding the situation in Khartoum, young Mehrdad Malekzadeh said: “We never imagined that the situation would escalate to such an extent. Everyone thought everything would be fine, (and what happened was similar) to the problems that sometimes happened, but it didn’t.
He confirmed hearing “daily” airstrikes and explosions in Khartoum, calling them “severe”.
The Iranians were received in Jeddah by four Iranian diplomats, knowing that the diplomatic missions have not yet been officially opened.
In response to a question on this subject, Zarnarkar Abarquoi indicated that the embassies will reopen their doors “as soon as possible”.
The Saudi-Iranian agreement reached last month under the aegis of China stipulated that each of the two countries would open its embassy in the other country in mid-May.
