"Saving Ourselves Our...": Indian Students Being Evacuated In Tehran

Tehran Evacuation | As the conflict between Israel and Iran intensifies, people in Tehran have been warned of a major Israeli retaliation after Iran's ballistic missiles caused significant damage in Tel Aviv and explosions were heard over Jerusalem. People in Iran's capital are abandoning their homes and driving out of the city before missiles from Israel aim to rain down on major Iranian cities. Among those leaving Tehran are students from India, mostly from Jammu and Kashmir, followed by Karnataka and several other states. There are three universities in Tehran where hundreds of Indian students are studying. These are Shahid Beheshti University, University of Tehran, and Iran University of Medical Sciences. These students are being evacuated on buses and are being taken from Iran to the city of Qom, 148 km away. Speaking exclusively to NDTV, students from the Shahid Beheshti University said there are traffic snarls on highways leading out of Tehran.
