New Delhi, Jun 17: Amidst the rapidly intensifying conflict between Iran and Israel, India has initiated the safe evacuation of its citizens from the troubled region. In a significant development, 110 Indian students, who were stranded in Iran, have successfully crossed into neighbouring Armenia under coordinated efforts by Indian authorities.

According to official sources, the students are currently safe in Armenia and are being extended full assistance by the Indian Embassy. Arrangements have been made for their return to India, and they are scheduled to board a special flight to Delhi on Tuesday.

The evacuation operation comes in light of the escalating missile and drone exchanges between Iran and Israel, which have raised serious concerns about the safety of foreign nationals in the region. With airstrikes and civil unrest gripping major cities, including Tehran, the Indian government has been on high alert to ensure the protection of its citizens.

Families back home have expressed relief and gratitude as news of the students’ safe evacuation spread. Meanwhile, officials said further evacuations may be organised depending on how the situation unfolds in the coming days.

India’s Ministry of External Affairs has reiterated its commitment to safeguarding its nationals and continues to monitor the regional developments closely, urging Indians in conflict-affected areas to remain in touch with embassy officials and follow safety advisories.
