The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) announced that over 1,200 Indian nationals have been safely evacuated from Iran amid the ongoing conflict in West Asia. The evacuation, which includes 845 students, is being conducted through Armenia and Azerbaijan with close coordination from the Indian government. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal confirmed that 996 evacuees moved to Armenia while 204 went to Azerbaijan, where they are receiving assistance from Indian missions. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been actively engaging with global leaders to discuss the situation, including a recent conversation with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, where they condemned attacks on energy infrastructure. The MEA also reported that since February 28, approximately 624,000 passengers have returned to India from the West Asia region, with airlines operating limited flights based on safety considerations. The safety and welfare of Indian nationals in the region remain the government's utmost priority.
