Tehran confirms its airspace remains closed amid Israeli bombing but has opened all land borders to facilitate evacuation of Indian students stranded in multiple Iranian cities following intensified military exchanges. In response to India’s request, the Indian Embassy in Tehran issued emergency helpline numbers, formed a Telegram group, and urged students to register with travel documents so authorities can coordinate safe passage. Thousands of Indian nationals, many from Jammu & Kashmir, are demanding a temporary cessation of hostilities by both Tehran and Jerusalem to allow airport evacuations. The government is monitoring the situation and assisting relocations to safer areas. (PC: Deccan Herald & NPR)
