The first commercial flights from Iran arrived in Delhi, bringing back Indian nationals amid ongoing protests and unrest in the country. The returnees, including students and professionals, expressed gratitude to the Indian government and the Indian Embassy in Tehran for timely assistance and coordination. Many passengers reported facing difficulties due to internet shutdowns, restrictions on movement, and general uncertainty during the protests. While these were not special evacuation flights, the government has been closely monitoring the situation and advising Indians in Iran to remain cautious. Authorities have assured that all necessary support will be extended if the situation worsens further. (PC: NDTV)
