Keeping in mind the recent evolving security and political situation in Iran, the Government of Nepal has requested the safe release of Nepalis stranded there as soon as possible.
Keeping in mind the recent security and political situation in Iran, the Nepali government has requested the Nepalis there to leave safely as soon as possible. The government has requested them to leave Iran safely using any means available.
‘There are 10 Nepalis working in the embassies of various countries in Iran.’ Harikumar Thapa from Udayapur, who is working in the Iranian capital Tehran, said.
Thapa said that the situation in Tehran is now calm and the government has suppressed the protests. He said that it takes an hour to reach his office from where he lives and that he has not seen any protests or crowds on the streets.
He said, ‘Right now, we all have the same fear and worry, will the US attack Iran or not? When we talk to our Iranian friends here, some say there will be a war, some say there will be no war, and that the US is just threatening. However, Tehran is not as crowded as before. Most of the citizens here seem to be returning to their villages. The embassy where I work does not seem to be preparing to send its citizens and employees. Last June, when Iran and Israel were at war, a lot of preparations were made.
He said that he and his friends are in a wait-and-see situation. He says that it is difficult to make a decision.
'All of us Nepalis gathered together on Sunday and discussed. No one has any intention of returning to Nepal right away. One brother who did not get a job is saying that he would have liked to go. He left his job at the Syrian embassy last June and went to Nepal. After it calmed down, he came back to the same embassy to see if he could get a job. But, he did not get a job,' he said.
All Nepalis except one who left Iran last June have returned to Iran.
He said that everyone currently in Iran has their passports with them. If they have to leave here, they must obtain an 'exit permit'. He said that they are consulting on what to do for this and that if they have to return, they have made a plan for everyone to return together.
