Serikali ya Kenya imethibitisha uhamisho wa Wanakenya 15 kutoka Iran, wakipelekwa kupitia Türkiye, wakati wa kuongezeka kwa mvutano Mashariki ya Kati. Katika taarifa iliyotolewa Jumamosi, Machi 21, 2026, Idara ya Masuala ya Diaspora ilisema wanahamiaji hao wanatarajiwa kufika nchini mapema Jumapili, Machi 22. Hii ni baada ya mawasiliano ya awali kutoa tarehe ya kufika mapema Jumamosi, Machi 21, na ucheleweshaji kutokana na “kutokuwa na uhakika katika mchakato nyeti wa uhamisho,” kulingana na majibu ya idara hiyo kwenye X. “Timu ya wakala wengi imegundua itifaki za dharura katika Ubalozi wa Kenya katika eneo hilo. Kufuatia hili, Idara ya Masuala ya Diaspora, ikishirikiana na Ubalozi wa Kenya huko Ankara na Tehran, imesaidia uhamisho wa Wanakenya 15 kutoka Iran kupitia Türkiye,” ilisema taarifa hiyo. Uhamisho huu unafanyika wakati wa kuongezeka kwa uhasama kati ya Iran na Marekani, pamoja na mashambulizi hewani, mashambulizi ya kisasi na vitisho vya hatua za kijeshi zaidi. Iran ilizindua mashambulizi ya misaili karibu na kituo cha nyuklia cha Israel, baada ya Tehran kusema tovuti yake ililengwa. Rais wa Marekani Donald Trump alitoa wikizo la saa 48 kwa Iran kufungua tena Mlango wa Hormuz, akatishia kushambulia mitambo ya nishati ya Iran. Vyombo vya habari vya serikali ya Iran vimesema watajibu kwa kulenga miundombinu ya nishati inayohusiana na Marekani katika eneo la Ghuba ikiwa miundombinu yao ya mafuta na nishati itashambuliwa. Wanakenya katika eneo lililoathiriwa wameshauriwa kufuata maelekezo kutoka kwa ubalozi wa Kenya, serikali za nchi walizo na njia rasmi za mawasiliano. Wale walio katika shida wametajwa kuwasiliana na ubalozi wa Kenya wa karibu au Idara ya Masuala ya Diaspora.
