Amid the intensifying conflict between Israel and Iran, Tehran on Monday, June 16, responded to India’s appeal for the safe evacuation of its nationals stranded in Iranian cities.
Currently, around 10,000 Indians are in Iran, with a large number of whom are students who were studying in various medical and religious institutions of Iran.
As per several reports, Tehran said that while Iranian airspace remains closed due to the ongoing conflict, all land borders with Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, and Afghanistan are currently open and can be used for the safe evacuation of Indian nationals.
Iran’s Foreign Minister has granted approval to India’s diplomatic mission and assured full cooperation in facilitating the safe evacuation of both Indian diplomats and civilians amid the ongoing conflict.
