The recent flare-up in hostilities saw Iran and its proxies launching a barrage of 330 missiles and drones on Israel. This retaliation follows an alleged attack by Israel on a diplomatic facility in Damascus, resulting in casualties, including two high-ranking commanders.
The international community, including the United States, France, Britain, and Jordan, reportedly aided in intercepting the projectiles fired by Iran. US President Joe Biden announced plans to convene a meeting of the Group of Seven (G7) advanced democracies to coordinate a unified diplomatic response to Iran’s aggression.
This attack marks the first instance of Iran launching an assault on Israel from its own soil, according to reports. The situation has sparked serious concerns globally, prompting calls for immediate de-escalation and a return to diplomatic channels.
Bharat, too, has voiced its apprehensions over the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) issued a statement expressing grave concern and urging both parties to exercise restraint and refrain from further violence.
As a precautionary measure, Bharat has advised its citizens to avoid traveling to Iran or Israel until further notice. Those currently residing in either country are urged to register with Bharatiya Embassies and strictly adhere to safety protocols. Movement should be restricted to the minimum to ensure personal safety amid the heightened tensions.
The activation of additional helpline numbers by the Bharatiya Embassy in Tehran underscores the seriousness of the situation as tensions escalate between Iran and Israel. With both sides engaging in retaliatory actions, the international community, including Bharat, emphasizes the urgency of de-escalation and a return to peaceful dialogue. As the conflict unfolds, the safety and well-being of Bharatiya citizens remain a top priority for diplomatic missions in the region.
