Due to the Iran-Israel conflict, Indian citizens faced safety concerns. Iran has now opened its airspace. Under 'Operation Sindhu', 1000 Indians will arrive in Delhi today.
Tehran: Amidst the ongoing military conflict between Iran and Israel, there is welcome news. Iran has opened its airspace to facilitate the safe evacuation of Indian citizens. As a result, approximately 1,000 Indian citizens will return to Delhi from Iran tonight, Friday. Special chartered flights have been arranged for their repatriation.
Serious Situation of War
For the past few weeks, military tension between Iran and Israel has been at its peak. Missile attacks are occurring between the two countries, and the threat to civilians is constantly increasing. People are living in fear, and a large number of foreign nationals wish to return to their respective countries.
Airspace Closure and Subsequent Change
Due to the ongoing military conflict with Israel, Iran had recently completely closed its airspace. This not only affected flights but also made the repatriation of stranded foreign nationals difficult.
However, following a request from the Indian government and with Iran's cooperation, the airspace has now been partially opened to facilitate the safe evacuation of Indian citizens.
Chartered Flights from Mashhad to Delhi
Special chartered flights have been arranged from Mashhad, Iran, to Delhi. These flights will bring Indian citizens back to India. Importantly, these flights will be operated by Iranian airlines to ensure a faster and safer evacuation process.
Iran's Humanitarian Stance
Local Iranian authorities have clarified regarding this evacuation operation that convenient and safe options will be provided for any Indian citizen wishing to leave the country. They state that despite regional tensions, Iran is serious about the safety of Indian citizens, and this step has been taken in that direction.
Background of 'Operation Sindhu'
The Indian government launched 'Operation Sindhu' two days ago. The aim of this operation is to safely bring back Indian citizens stranded in Iran. India has always been ready to assist citizens stranded in war-torn areas, and 'Operation Sindhu' is part of that policy.
The Ministry of External Affairs and the Indian embassy are monitoring this operation and are in constant contact with the affected areas. Before evacuation, the process of identification, medical checks, and necessary documentation for all passengers is being completed. The Middle East is currently experiencing extreme instability. The conflict between Israel and Iran is becoming a threat not only to both countries but also to the entire region. Air strikes, missiles, and drone attacks have caused damage to several civilian areas.
