The first Iranian evacuees to escape the Sudan conflict through Saudi Arabia arrived on Saturday in Jeddah, relieved that their country has settled its differences with the regional rival. Saudi Arabia has so far organised evacuations for about 5,000 people from 96 countries, according to the foreign ministry. Iran and Saudi Arabia agreed to end a seven-year diplomatic rupture on March 10, and four Iranian diplomats were on hand when the latest ship arrived at the King Faisal Naval Base in Jeddah. The 65 Iranians were among about 1,900 people on the latest boat to arrive from Port Sudan.
