Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThailand is readying to evacuate its citizens from the Middle East by military or charter flights, Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul says, after the US and Israel attacked Iran, which answered with its own missile strikes.
The Thai government has “coordinated with the Royal Thai Air Force to prepare aircraft to evacuate Thai citizens, prioritizing those in Iran,” Anutin tells reporters in Bangkok, adding that charter flights were also under consideration.
“We have to check the closure of airspace, whether we need to evacuate them to the third country first,” he adds.
