The Tafftan border crossing has seen 3456 people return to their homes since the beginning of the operation while 1591 people have arrived through the Gabad Rimdan border.
The authorities confirmed that returnees from the conflict included students, businessmen, labourers and pilgrims who had been in Israel during the Iran conflict.

The efforts of the last 16 days have succeeded in bringing back 5047 people to their homes. Local officials confirmed that the repatriation process will continue because more citizens remain in Iran and they are working to bring these people back through the Tafftan and Gabad Rimdan border crossings.

The operation will continue until all expected returns complete their journey back to their home country, according to upcoming operational updates.
