Adm Pairote Fuangchan, the navy commander-in-chief, said the Royal Thai Air Force would take the lead in any government evacuation move, particularly for Thai citizens in Iran. In such a scenario, naval vessels would be deployed to evacuate Thai nationals from affected areas. Thai citizens can contact their nearest Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate-General at any time for assistance. The Royal Thai Embassy in Tehran has arranged two evacuation convoys by road to Turkey, on Saturday and Tuesday.
