The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) of India has increased its monitoring of the situation in the Gulf and West Asia, emphasizing the safety and welfare of Indian nationals. Indian missions are operational around the clock, providing helplines and coordinating with local authorities to assist citizens. The MEA has reported that since February 28, approximately 1.29 million passengers have traveled from the region to India, indicating sustained connectivity despite operational challenges. The government is particularly focused on the welfare of Indian seafarers, offering extensive support and consular assistance. Flight operations are ongoing from the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Israel, with limited services resuming as airspace restrictions are lifted. The MEA continues to issue regular advisories, urging Indian nationals in Iran to exit via land borders with embassy support. So far, 2,445 Indians have been facilitated out of Iran through land routes.
