Indian students evacuated from Tehran, some moved out of country via Armenia: MEA
New Delhi: Indian students in Tehran have been relocated from the city, and some Indian nationals have been assisted in leaving the country through the border with Armenia, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) announced on Tuesday amid the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. As the Israel-Iran conflict entered its fifth day, the hostilities between the two nations continued to escalate as several missiles from Iran were fired at Israel, triggering air raid sirens in Haifa and dozens of other cities and communities across northern Israel and the occupied Golan Heights, confirmed by the Israeli military. "Indian students in Tehran have been moved out of the city for reasons of safety, through arrangements made by the Embassy. Other residents who are self-sufficient in terms of transport have also been advised to move out of the city in view of the developing situation," the MEA said. "Separately, some Indians have been facilitated to leave Iran through the border with Armenia," it added. The Ministry also said that the Indian Embassy is continuously in touch with the community to provide all feasible assistance. It stated that further advisory will be issued for the security of Indian nationals. Earlier in the day, India urged its nationals in Iran and Persons of Indian Origin (PIO) to evacuate Tehran and shift to a safer location following escalating tensions in the region. "All Indian Nationals and PIOs who can move out of Tehran using their own resources, are advised to move to a safe location outside the City," the Indian Embassy in Iran had posted on X. The Indians were asked to be in touch with the Embassy and provide their location and contact numbers. The Embassy also issued helpline numbers -- +989010144557; +989128109115; +989128109109 -- to assist the evacuation process. This also comes against the backdrop of Israel's warning to people, advising them to evacuate central Tehran, signalling a possible escalation in its military offensive on Iran. In a post on X, Avichay Adraee, a spokesman for the Israeli military, called residents of District C, located in the northeastern part of the city, to evacuate. "In the coming hours, the Israeli army will operate in this area, as it has over recent days in other parts of Tehran, to strike military infrastructure belonging to the Iranian regime," Adraee said. "Your presence in this area endangers your life," he said. "For your safety and security, we urge you to immediately evacuate." Several important state institutions, government offices, and semi-governmental organisations, as well as communication and intelligence facilities, are located in District C, Xinhua news agency reported. The Israeli military said in a statement that since the morning hours, Israeli warplanes have struck trucks containing weapons and surface-to-air missile launchers, advancing from western Iran toward Tehran.

Israel issues evacuation warning to residents in Tehran ahead of strikes
Tel Aviv/Jerusalem: Israel issued on Monday evacuation warning to a municipal district in Tehran, calling its residents to urgently leave ahead of Israeli airstrikes. In a post on Persian and Arabic on social media platform X, Avichay Adraee, a spokesman for the Israeli miliary, called residents of District C, located in the northeastern part of the city, to evacuate. 'In the coming hours, the Israeli army will operate in this area, as it has over recent days in other parts of Tehran, to strike military infrastructure belonging to the Iranian regime,' Adraee said. 'Your presence in this area endangers your life,' he said. 'For your safety and security, we urge you to immediately evacuate.' Several important state institutions, government offices, and semi-governmental organisations, as well as communication and intelligence facilities are located in District C, Xinhua news agency reported. The Israeli military said in a statement that since the morning hours, Israeli warplanes have struck trucks containing weapons and surface-to-air missile launchers, advancing from western Iran toward Tehran. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz visited the Tel Nof airbase in the south of the country. During the visit, Netanyahu said that the Israeli Air Force 'controls the skies over Tehran.' He claimed: 'We are on our way to achieving our two main objectives: eliminating the nuclear threat and eliminating the missile threat.' The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said on Monday Israel seeks to expand the war to other countries in the West Asia region. He made the remarks at a weekly press conference while condemning the ongoing Israeli 'aggression' against Iran, which has started since early Friday. Baghaei said, 'We have no doubt that Israel wishes to fan the flames of the war as much as it can and spread the flames to other countries and players in the region,' adding that Israel had attacked residential buildings in Iran and a children's hospital in Tehran. He stressed that Iran's nuclear programme was merely a pretext for Israel as no evidence was available indicating a diversion from the 'peaceful path' in Iran's nuclear programme.

Israeli navy strikes Houthis in Yemen
Israel attacked the Houthi-controlled port of Hudaydah in Yemen on Tuesday, reportedly marking the first time that naval forces were used in an operation against the Iranian-backed terror group instead of the air force. Israeli Navy missile ships struck 'terror targets' at the port following 'the aggression of the Houthi terrorist regime' against the Jewish state and its citizens, including the launching of ballistic missiles and drones, according to the Israel Defense Forces. 'The strikes were carried out to stop the use of the port for military purposes. The port has been struck by the IDF over the past year and continues to be used for terrorist purposes,' the military said. Start your day with a roundup of B.C.-focused news and opinion.

'The port is used to transfer weapons and is a further example of the Houthi terrorist regime's cynical exploitation of civilian infrastructure to advance terrorist activities,' it added. The IDF's Arabic-language spokesperson, Lt. Col. Avichay Adraee, issued an urgent evacuation notice on Monday night for Yemen's Ras Isa, Hudaydah and Al-Salif ports. 'Due to the terrorist Houthi regime's use of seaports for its terrorist activities, we urge all those present at these ports to evacuate and stay away from them for your own safety until further notice,' Adraee wrote on X, accompanied by a map. Jerusalem has conducted multiple rounds of attacks against the Houthis in Yemen since last summer, mainly in retaliation for Houthi missile and drone attacks. The terrorist group claims these attacks are intended to end Israel's military campaign against the Hamas terrorist group in Gaza. The Houthis have launched dozens of ballistic missiles and hundreds of drones at Israel since the Hamas massacre on Oct. 7, 2023, with the attacks intensifying this year. The terrorist group has also targeted commercial and military ships in the Red Sea. Between November 2023 and January 2025, the Houthis launched missile and drone attacks on over 100 merchant ships, resulting in the sinking of two vessels and the deaths of four sailors, according to the Associated Press. The Houthis halted their attacks during a self-declared ceasefire until the United States launched a major offensive against them in mid-March. U.S. President Donald Trump suspended this campaign just before his Middle East visit, stating that the rebels had 'capitulated' to American demands. However, the Houthis have continued to launch missiles and drones at Israel. Approximately two weeks ago, the Israeli Air Force conducted an operation called 'Golden Jewel,' striking the airport in Yemen's capital, Sanaa. At the time, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that the strike had destroyed the last aircraft in use by the Houthis. Katz congratulated the Navy on Tuesday's strike, writing on X that 'Israel's long arm in the air and at sea will reach everywhere.' The Houthis had been warned that if they continued to fire at Israel, they would 'receive a powerful response and enter a naval and air blockade,' he added. He stressed that Tuesday's strike was part of that effort. On Monday, the Houthis launched another missile toward Israel, but it fell short of Israeli territory and did not trigger any sirens. The last Houthi attack to set off alarms occurred last Thursday, when a ballistic missile was intercepted over Jerusalem during protests in both the capital and Tel Aviv.
