<p><strong>Israel-Iran Conflict:</strong> The ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran continues unabated for the fourth consecutive day. The recent clashes between the two countries are now taking the shape of a larger regional conflict. So far, 224 Iranian and 15 Israeli lives have been lost in this conflict. The escalating violence in the war has not only caused global concern but also created a dangerous situation for Indians in Iran.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">10,000 Indians Stranded in Iran</h2>



<p>Approximately 10,000 Indian citizens are currently stranded in Iran. A large number of these are Indian students pursuing medical and religious education at various Iranian institutions. Amidst the Israel-Iran conflict, the Indian government is about to launch a special rescue operation to bring these Indians back safely.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Operation to Evacuate Indian Citizens</h2>



<p>The Indian government has stated that the Iranian government has also agreed to safely repatriate foreign nationals. Accordingly, Indians will be evacuated via Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, and Afghanistan. The Indian embassy and other agencies have been activated in the border regions for this purpose.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Two Kashmiri Students Injured</h2>



<p>Meanwhile, a worrying incident has come to light. An attack took place near the international students&#8217; hostel at the University of Medical Sciences in Tehran, injuring two Indian students. Both students are from Kashmir. Following the attack, the university administration has relocated these students to Ramsar city for security reasons.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Indian Embassy in Contact with Local Administration</h2>



<p>The Indian embassy is constantly in touch with the local administration, and special surveillance is being maintained for the safety of Indian citizens. The Ministry of External Affairs has clarified that the situation is being closely monitored and additional flights will be arranged if necessary.</p>



<p>Experts say that if this war continues for much longer, its impact could be felt across the entire West Asian region. This could create a challenging situation for countries like India, where a large number of citizens are studying or working abroad.</p>



<p>The Indian government has appealed to its citizens to maintain peace, not pay attention to rumours, and remain in contact with the Indian embassy at all times. Detailed information about the rescue operation will be shared from time to time.</p>

<p><strong>Iran-Israel Conflict:</strong> The military conflict between Iran and Israel is escalating. Israel targeted over 170 locations and 720 military infrastructures in Iran. 20 Iranian military officers and several senior scientists were killed. Approximately 400 civilians died, and over 250 Iranian citizens were injured. In retaliation, Iran attacked Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Iran claimed to have also targeted the Israeli Ministry of Defence. 14 Israeli citizens were killed in the Iranian attacks, with 390 injured.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mediation Offer Rejected</h2>



<p>Iran rejected mediation offers from Oman and Qatar. Leaders of both countries are speaking of war. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu (Netanyahu) has vowed to continue attacks. Iran&#8217;s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has promised a strong response.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">US Embassy Issues Security Alert</h2>



<p>The US embassy in Baghdad, Iraq, issued a security alert. The embassy advised all US citizens in Iraq to avoid locations frequented by foreigners, and any large gatherings or crowded areas. The embassy stated that foreign terrorist organisations may attack in Iraq.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Iran Wanted to Assassinate President Trump: Netanyahu</h2>



<p>Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Iran sought to assassinate US President Donald Trump. He said Iran viewed Trump as a threat to its nuclear programme. Trump never showed leniency towards Iran; he did what was right and prevented Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. This is why Iran considers him their number one enemy. Netanyahu claimed that through the Axis of Resistance, Iran planned to assassinate Trump twice, but their plans failed.</p>



<p>Netanyahu added that Trump withdrew from a flawed agreement with Iran, eliminated IRGC commander Qassem Soleimani, and made it abundantly clear that Iran should not possess nuclear weapons. He was extremely firm; therefore, he is enemy number one for Iran.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sometimes You Have to Fight Before You Can Talk</h2>



<p>US President Donald Trump expressed hope that Israel and Iran could reach an agreement, but added that sometimes countries have to fight first. We will continue to support Israel. He further stated that Iran should agree to a nuclear deal.</p>
