Amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, Indian students in Tehran have been moved out of the city with 110 of them scheduled to land in Delhi soon. They have crossed the border into Armenia as part of arrangements made by the embassy.

One of the rescued students, Tamheed Mughal, told News18 that while they do not have all the information, 110 of them were in Armenia and will soon be landing in Delhi. The student thanked the Indian government for its prompt evacuation efforts.

“We are very thankful to the Indian government," Tamheed told News18 in an exclusive conversation. “Our university advised us to return. Right now, we are on our way back to India."

“Around 110 of us are returning to India. We will be landing in Delhi… We don’t have much more information at this point," the student said.

The ministry of external affairs (MEA) said in a statement that the Indian embassy remains in touch with the student community with a view to extend all feasible assistance.
