India has initiated safety measures for its citizens in Iran as regional tensions escalate, relocating students from Tehran and advising others to evacuate if possible. The move follows heightened security concerns amid ongoing hostilities between Iran and Israel, according to a statement from India's Foreign Ministry on Tuesday.
"Separately, some Indians have been facilitated to leave Iran through the border with Armenia," the ministry confirmed, emphasizing proactive steps to ensure citizen safety. While the ministry did not disclose exact numbers, it noted that self-sufficient individuals with transportation means were urged to depart voluntarily.
The evacuation highlights growing international unease over instability in the Middle East, with analysts noting potential ripple effects on global energy markets and trade routes. For families in India's diaspora communities, the development underscores the importance of real-time crisis communication. Travelers to the region are advised to monitor official advisories closely.
