In a rare diplomatic gesture, Iran has temporarily opened its otherwise restricted airspace to allow three charter flights as part of Operation Sindhu, evacuating approximately 1,000 Indian nationals—mainly students—from conflict-affected Mashhad . The first flight, carrying 110 students evacuated via Armenia on June 17–18, landed in Delhi on June 19, with two more flights scheduled for June 20–21 . Coordinated by India’s MEA and embassy teams, this operation highlights strong humanitarian cooperation amid escalating military tensions involving missile and drone exchanges in the region. (PC: X)
