A 40-tonne consignment of medicine purchased in India is currently held at the Iranian embassy in New Delhi, awaiting transport to Iran. This shipment was intended to help address the urgent medical needs in Iran, especially following recent airstrikes that have targeted pharmaceutical facilities. A Mahan Air aircraft, which was scheduled to pick up the medicines, was damaged at Mashhad airport, complicating the embassy's efforts to send the supplies home. An official from the embassy stated that they are exploring alternative arrangements for transport, as previous smaller shipments had been successfully sent through the Armenian route. The Iranian mission has been utilizing donations collected in India for these medical purchases, amidst growing concerns over a shortage of medicines due to ongoing conflict. Additionally, the Iranian embassy had to establish a separate bank account for fundraising, as regulations prohibit using their primary accounts for donations. The Indian government has also shown support by sending a recent consignment of medicines to Iran as a humanitarian gesture.
