Shortly after, the prime minister spoke to Qatar Amir and condemned attacks on Doha during the ongoing strikes.
Meanwhile, the Embassy of India in Iran has relocated most Indian students who were in Tehran to safer locations outside the city. In an advisory, the Embassy said it has made arrangements for their transportation, food, and accommodation. It added that only a small number of students who declined the Embassy’s offer remain in Tehran. The Embassy has urged other Indian students and Indian nationals who still remain in Iran to stay where they are, remain indoors as far as possible, and stay away from windows. They have been asked to exercise due caution at all times and avoid areas of protests or demonstrations.
