With a ceasefire taking effect, the Indian Embassy in Iran is gradually concluding its evacuation program for Indian citizens. The evacuation was launched in response to increased conflict in the region, triggered by military actions involving Israel. An announcement on X detailed the closure of the contact desk created to register individuals seeking evacuation, while also promising continued surveillance of the security conditions. Indian nationals in various parts of Iran, who were considering travel to Mashhad for evacuation, are now advised to stay put and track news and embassy advisories. Those who have already reached Mashhad and are residing in embassy-arranged hotels are required to relocate to the Sadr hotel by Wednesday, according to the embassy’s instructions. The embassy will maintain rooms at the Sadr hotel for two more nights to allow for the assessment of a return to normalcy. This decision follows a ceasefire agreement announced on Tuesday between the two nations, which followed attacks and counterattacks in the region. Trump, upon announcing the ceasefire, disapproved of Israel and Iran’s actions, and expressed concerns about them ‘violating the ceasefire’. Following Trump’s announcement, after a conversation between Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu, Israel has ‘refrained’ from further attacks on Iran. Meanwhile, a flight carrying 282 evacuated Indian nationals has landed in New Delhi, bringing the total evacuated under Operation Sindhu to 2,858.
