India secured Iran’s agreement to evacuate over 10,000 Indians mostly students via its open land borders with Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, and Afghanistan, after its airspace was closed amid escalating Iran–Israel hostilities. Tehran responded to India’s request on June 16, 2025, offering safe crossing provided that New Delhi shares names, passport details, vehicle info, and intended border points. India’s embassy in Tehran is actively monitoring the situation, relocating around 1,500 students to safer zones and considering broader evacuation measures. Students, especially in cities like Tehran and Kerman, report sleep‑deprived nights in basements amid nearby missile strikes. The government has urged stranded nationals to stay indoors and remain in close contact through embassy channels. (PC: India Today & NDTV)
