8 Thais due home tomorrowThe Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) said that eight Thai nationals evacuated from Iran are due to arrive home tomorrow, raising the total number of Thais assisted in leaving the Middle East since the latest conflict erupted there to 1,499. He added reports indicate the United States is preparing to deploy additional troops to the region to enhance operational readiness. Given the high level of uncertainty, the ministry reiterated its call for Thai nationals in high-risk areas to leave immediately, follow official advisories, and register their contact details with Thai embassies or consulates. Meanwhile, assistance efforts for the three Thai crew members stranded aboard the Mayuree Naree are continuing. Iranian and Omani authorities have conducted a joint operation, but the status of the trio has yet to be confirmed.
